1) You don't need an angled drill (or drill the fuselage as has been suggested) to drill the damper frame mounting holes. A block of wood clamped or wedged next to the hole position will stop the dri
Yes, I forgot to mention bending the cranks - I doubt if you can do the job at all without bending both outwards. They end up in line with the front members of the landing gear frame which chops of s
--From Gemini - The FTP access info was posted back on Dec.9th in relation to the Europa parts database - but it rapidly disappeared from view in the deluge of messages we have had since. The Fltsim
Yes, something went wrong somewhere between source and sink - Peter has reposted it - but don't rush - we have now sent him GEMIN2.ZIP which has improved flight dynamics. graham 2
Firewall cut-out: As far as I know there is no good use for the firewall cut-out except for small in-fill pieces, e.g. where rudder pedals come through. Its not big enough to substitute for the stain
With the hinges mounted in the designated position on the door tangs as per 10-94 Fig.4, the tang extension cannot possibly sweep through the fuselage recess intended for it, at least for my moulding
Yes I considered reforming the recess, but those of us who are pedalling hard to catch up with you need the simplest solutions, so I think I'll cut back the tang. The gas strut should provide a good
If you interpret "top" as "port" it all makes sense. Appears to be a typing error which has not been corrected ! 5mm-7mm is ok in practice for the top member, and a radius is easily filed on the wall
There must be quite a few builders approaching the painting stage who would appreciate not having to fork out for surplus paint. Perhaps those who have already done it could post their material quati
Many thanks Alan for the paint info. Flight Shop does seem to be in short supply in Uk and the Us. Mine came from R.C.Simulations in Bristol tel 01275 474 <550>, fax <855> ( who sell our Uk scenery o
Sorry -got distracted and sent that before finishing it ! Transair phone is 01276 858 533, fax is 01276 855 464 G-EMIN model - we havent uploaded the full build files yet. Painting is not wysiwyg unf
R.C.Simulations at Bristol have some - email 100556.3252@compuserve but they won't open till 1996 now. For those wishing to get involved with their own painting, the extra files necessary to reproduc
Reply to Graham 1 Smaller diameter nylon tube sounds great. Where can you buy it ? It would go in my aileron tunnel even better. I suppose we have to get its use approved, and does it have a limited
Further to Thomas's questions of 23rd Dec. I made my cut-out round - the manual doesn't specify but there were marks on the bottom indicating a round end. If you want to make a mudguard it then has t
Right Allan ! - the manual glibly says this might be made removable. While I haven't put tried pump and filter on it yet, it seems that as these are festooned with feedpipes plus electrical wiring th
Many thanks, all very useful as usual ! With trailer people nearby here I will try them when the festivities subside. Yes I do interact with Europa on changes - e.g. have sent them my firewall templa
I give up - there are two Grahams on the Europa net in addition to me, and now I see Graham Clark is the new editor for PFA magazine - ok he doesn't have a final e, but from now on I will sign gemin
Moulding sounds good, but are you proposing a just a bid layup and no foam, or some core material. That sheet of beige stuff already supplied should work eh ? gemin
Reply to Allan <Moving the rudder pulley up 1" doesn't work> Maybe your cables are nearer the centre than mine. The curve of tube has started to rise where my cables pass by about 10mm. In any case a
