Hello Chuck,

        Yes/no. Quite a few months ago (last year?) there was a 
note from Europa saying that it was possible for the bushes to 
come loose. To stop the rear ones from falling off the spar they 
recommended a patch of 2 layers bid, drilling carefully through 
after cure. 

        Sounds like Europa have incorporated that mod into your 
(newer) instructions. Just stick a very short bit of dowel in the 
hole and lay the bid right over the bush, drilling out after 
cure. It helps to peel ply it too.

chus, dave
