Just a detail point on UK flying... Night VFR is legal in the UK - it's just that PFA Permit aircraft (like Europas) are not currently allowed that privilege - certified types only, in other words. T

Hi, Ferg, always good to hear from you! I think Duane meant all aircraft, as he referred to filing flight plans for IFR just to fly at night - and Night IFR is even more no-no in the UK than Night VF

"I think that this would be a privilege that is worth fighting for." It's one I'd like. If IFR in a 40-year-old Cessna 150 is legal, to me it makes no sense not to allow it in a Europa. I'm not think

One item that might be worth mentioning - when I last spoke with David a few months ago he had a lovely looking covered trailer for sale that long enough for a Europa with motorglider wings. It was p

John, All my Stage 1 components have this to one extent or other. Indeed, at the time we went into it in great depth with the factory and SP Systems (who make the resin). Apparently it is a result of

I believe they are not 100% resistant to the epoxy systems - which is why rubber gloves are recommended for layups. That said, I don't wear latex gloves for extended periods (they are so easily torn

Ron, Please see the previous thread about a month ago on this topic! And yes, I believe your kit was done with Aeropoxy - when I saw it in Florida it did look like one of the US-produced ones. Regard

Can anyone suggest a primer I can use on Zn-coated steel - i.e. the aileron torque-tubes and pitch pushrods? If it was available in both pots and aerosol cans, that would be ideal. I tried red oxide

Thanks for the input, Gents. It appears there has been a change of materials. Mine are steel, zinc coated with a chromic passivation (no, I'm not an expert on coatings, I asked the factory :-) ) that

Mike, FL13 is used in the outboard flap hinge, not the aileron. The link rod attachment to the aileron has no FL13 - see Fig 5 on page 9-3. Just use two EUR001s and one MS21042-4. Regards, Jeremy Jer

Ferg, I plead membership of the 'stupid club' then. I tried to cut the fuel filler boss of my fuel tank using my 1.75" holesaw (I didn't have a 1.5" one, and the manual said 1.5"-1.75"). Needless to
