Please, I'd like to hear from John, Neville, and Andy on this matter. Why would it NOT be changed? Mike Duane A207 Redding, California XS Conventional Gear
Jos, I agree with you wholeheartedly. My question is WHY use peel ply that is invisible when a "very noticeable" colored peel ply is available? This would aid a builder, many of which have never done
Well, Tom have put yourself in a pickle. First, congratulations on making the right choice for an aircraft. I think that you will truly love your plane after completion. For now it's like having a ch
Good Day to all....especially those that are flying, I have just completed installing the cockpit module into the canoe. That Redux job was an interesting ballet of asses and elbows, but it got done
Good day all, Seems that I am having more questions the further I go from this point. I just finished installing the cockpit module and the rear bulkhead aft of the tailplanes. I went to make up the
Andy, I guess I should read ALL my mail before responding. Thank you for the clarification. I have treated the bracket so I will remove the treatment and clean up that area. The M5 bolt looks funny w
Good Day All, Just a quick question to clarify what the manual does not clearly call out. When installing the TP16 Tab Drive Pins to the tailplane's anti-servo tabs, do they get aligned with the cent
John, For a bit of reference....I have never built a plane before but do work well with my hands. Unlike some of the builders here I want to fly a lot more than I want to build. But I will not compro
Tony, I believe this would be of much help for those of us still building....as long as those that are already flying don't rub it in too much. Mike Duane A207 Redding, California XS Conventional Gea
Dan, I have just finished this procedure. Once I found the start point for measuring the FS points, I marked the bottom of the fuselage every fifty inches with a black marker for future references an
Good day All, I question whether a carb heater temp "above" the indicated 50'C/122'F is really necessary? With the poor output from the Rotax alternator, can't there be a resistor installed inline to
Quick question.......any builders in the Las Vegas area? Gonna be in town towards the end of December and would appreciate some information. Mike Duane A207 Redding, California XS Conventional Gear C
Brian, That's about right. Because of the angle difference of the rib (angled out) and the plane of movement of the end of the "T" section from the servo unit (parrallel to the centerline) the flox p
While some people may feel this is a little overkill, I think that it does provide everyone with a good reference point. Steps 15 & 16. I like to know what the scale should read when you remove your
Ferg, Your seems to work for you. I just use another data point as a checksum to catch any problem....ie scale reset, calculation error, or just a senior moment. Mike Duane A207 Redding, California X
Ron, If there is anything that I have picked up from the few Europa flights I've had, is that the stick is in your belly all the time! If you relax the stick forward then the tail could lift and then
I too must reply that too many of the build items that didn't work in flight could easily be missed if the flying crowd were on another list. This saves those of us coming up thru the ranks the troub
Hello all, Anyone out there that do the first flight of a newly built experimental? When you do this flight do you wear a parachute? Or, people that do acrobatics. Since, in the USA, you are supposed
Good morning Klaus, I think that you are in for a world of different flying. You might want to come up with a rough flight plan for your route and then maybe some of the local Europa members can let
