14 Hantone HillHi Roger,
I second Petes response and I would be happy to come and run the company
but you would probably want me to work for free (just as RH expects you
to).
I think we will ultimately opt for Mod 52 but not until the rush is
over. I doubt we will get through the allowed 10hrs before the year is
over if the present weather continues (today excepted).
You dont offer a submarine conversion for the Europa by any chance.
Keep up the good work.
Regards,
Carl Pattinson.

Hi Roger
You guys working on a Saturday - now that is what I call service and
should qualify for at least double time! No complaints from me
regarding the costs or the speed of response to our joint problems - and
I am sure the majority of owners feel the same.
Just out of interest is there a lead time should I decide to do a full
mod 52 instead of the new tie bar arrangement in Mod 74.
Kind regards
Pete

I think I should point out that Mod 74 does not call for Mod 52 to be
incorporated if not already done so; the requirement is to fit a tie bar
to the existing rear wing pin sockets, the tie bar being part of Mod 52
as well. Builders can of course fit Mod 52 in its entirety, which, plus
the new pin arangement in the wing, will satisfy Mod 74.
We at Europa were unaware until earlier this week that the tie bar
would be required, so it has been a rush to get the parts as soon as
possible. If builders want to incorporate Mod 52 in its entirety the
lead time will be longer, proably about 3 weeks, as it will be necessary
to get extra supplies of the 3 part wing socket included in that Mod.
Getting out the Mod leaflet, sorting out the logistics, etc. has been
a bit of a nightmare, so I would be extremely grateful if Richard Holder
would come and take over the company - he would undoubtedly be able to
offer a better and cheaper service, and then John and I would be able to
retire on our (non-existent) ill gotten gains!
Regards,
Roger

Europhiles everywhere - Francis Donaldson has asked me to advise you
all that Europa Mod 74 is now on the Europa 2004 Ltd website, under
Technical and then Modifications. There is a very strict time limit -
within 10 hours from 1 August 2007. Mod 74 affects classic aircraft with
foam-filled wings; those classic aircraft that do not already have Mod
52 (the weight increase mod) will be required to fit Mod 52 as part of
Mod 74.
As it is Friday evening here, I cannot check with Roger Bull to find
out what the lead time is going to be for the parts; but I am copying
this to him, and hope that, in order to save every one of us ringing
him, he will put a short statement on this forum to advise likely
delivery availability.
I will also be forwarding to the forum, within a few minutes, a copy
of an e-mail written by Francis to Ted Gladstone setting out the PFA's
view of the accident sequence; this is not a definitive account - that
can only be issued by UK AAIB. However, Francis's e-mail does give the
reasoning behind the decisions to issue the MPD's and now the Mods.
