I've just received the latest copy of the CAA Safety Investigation
and Data Department Occurence Listing, which reports the failure of a
Europa mass balance arm rod end during taxi.
This could have spoiled someone's whole day if it had occurred during flight.
I expect there will be some sort of fix recommended (or even
mandated) for this.
I note some folk recently asking questions like "what should I do
before sticking the top on?". If you can afford to wait until
whatever fix is announced before you bond the fuselage top on, you
might save yourself a lot of uncomfortable wriggling later.
regards
Rowland
