Gents,
I will be there from Sunday (26) through Thursday (30). Unfortunately, The
Little Dragon Lady (my Europa) is still down awaiting final fix of the thr
ottle cables and I've lost my other airplane ride so I'm flying to Chicago
and driving up from there. But at least I will have wheels for the stay.
Should anyone require transport about the KOSH area feel free to give me a
call: 817-992-1117. I'm staying at a private residence about 1/2 block o
ff the terminal building. I also have e-mail access through my iPhone.
Perhaps we can arrange an early week meeting for those of us in for the fir
st half and a second meeting for those coming in for the 2nd half.
See you there,
Bob Borger

Subject: Europa-List: Europa classic-mono: rudder-pedals movement
Dear Community,
I would like to move my rudder-pedals on my classic mono forward in
order have a better seating.
I still have some room to the firewall inside with fully pushed pedals,
but outside I am too close to the original Europa muffler.
I believe this problem has been posted on the forum before - does any
one have a solution to this?
I am thinking of a different muffler construction or a different pedal
construction at this moment.
Thank you for your kind feedback
Best regards,
Frank Kusserow

Hello Richard,
Sorry to hear about the problem with the "sprung" window.
I'm sure you will already have thought that heat is probably the only
"treatment". The problem is that both the Redox and the Perspex will soften
.
The question as I see it is which softens first?
I haven't tried it but wonder if this might work. Cut a piece of metal
(ally, 1/8th thick, e.g.) to the shape of the area affected and a piece of
wood (ply e.g.) the same. Take another chunk of wood (2"x1"e.g.) to bridge
across the inside corner of the door and, using a G cramp, clamp the whole
thing together . With a hair drier, warm up the door-frame area where the
window has lifted. The metal should (hopefully) act as a heat sink to
protect the window while the Redox should (again, hopefully) soften and
allow the Perspex to re-seat.
Just a thought. It might work! (Before you try it, would you please delete
this email and my address in case it doesn't!)
Best regards,
Ron Jones.

Hello Richard,
Sorry to hear about your window. -Unfortunately, I don't believe there is
a quick
fix for the problem you have described. -Because the Perspex has lifted f
rom
the door rebate you will find that the cured Redux is shiny and thus will n
ot
take a bond with new -Redux without prepping it first. -If you are able
to sand
the exposed Redux you may be able get a good bond. -However, without seei
ng
the window I can comment of the viability of this scenario. -If this is n
ot
a possibility, I fear you may have to completely remove the window and remo
ve
the cured Redux., Not too bad of a job with a heat gun. -There have been
a few
builders who have replaced windows that can give you better advise on the p
rocess
than I. -Just be really careful. - Regarding the area that has cured Re
dux
on the Perspex; carefully sanding this down is probably the best solution.
The Perspex does polish up nicely with restoration, however, you will get l
ocalized
distortion which I believe is unavoidable. -I have found that sanding it
up through 1500 grit paper followed by hand polishing works nicely. -Good
luck.

Sorry for taking so long to comment. -I was out. -Flew a Motor Glider
---From Tampa To Kansas City. -Great trip.
127 TAS at 4.8 gph at 8500ft. -A lot of weather, but not bad.
On to windows...
Richard, The problem may already be fixed, but here are my two cents:
- On the sprung corner, if it is out only 1mm or so, try to fill the
area with clear redux. -Keep in mind, that it is not going to bond well
as the surfaces have cured glue on them and are slick. -But it will
prevent a large air void and possible separation if filled. -I have not
had one sprung in the shop, once when helping someone redoing a door
which was damaged, I saw a void near the handle that was 1.5 inches
around the corner. -I suggested he grind the glass closer to level and
he filled the void by injecting in redux, then glassed over the corner,
making his door glass viewing area about 1/2 inch smaller in the corner,
but the glassing of two layers of staggered bid has done the trick. -One
other thing I noticed is that the door panel to plexi joint was very
smooth and didn't show a bump in the heat after painting due to
different expansion rates.
Usually, any redux on the outside of the glass can be flecked off using
a plastic scraper. -Sometimes a little heat to get it warm will do the
trick (about 120 degrees F). -The plexi will buff out. -My windows are
a
mess of scratches as they are left-overs or returns... -Using grits from
400 to 2000 then buffing compounds and a good slow buffer did the trick.
Mine still need one more inside and out buffing with anti-swirl
compound and they'll be fine.

-I have had a BAD day with my windows !!! After leaving my perfect

has sprung slightly in the corner near to the handle.
-Is it possible to remove the window in this corner to allow a cleanup
and to re-set it back to as it should be into the rebate? if so, how
without damaging the perspex?
-I have also got a small amount of redux onto the perspex in top

Hi Willie,
Good to hear from you. We got back this afternoon from France - a
good trip but needless to say it would have been that much better
with you two there!
I still haven't decided on the material for my covers, I also have a
possibility of using a sort of marquee for the aircraft in the
summer. I will be using an enclosed trailer in the winter. Both these
could well benefit from your dehumidifier.
Hope to see you at a DOTH soon,
All the best, Paddy

Mine lives in a weird microclimate inside a WWII nissen hut type
hanger, with an unsealed floor, where it is frequently very humid
and sometimes rains condensation. The one discovery I'd like to
share is that I have found that a chemical dehumidifier (intended
for caravans) has clearly kept the inside much drier than it was
previously. This can only be a good thing for the instruments and
electrics. An incidental benefit is that the misting problem I used
to have in cold weather has largely gone away (I suspect that the
upholstery had been acting like a reservoir for water which then
took 30 minutes of flight to dry out, and in the meantime was
redistributing the moisture onto the windscreen and side windows).
Good luck finding the right cover.

Hi Folks,
Many thanks to all those who replied.
Before deciding on manufacturer I have to decide on which
material, due to my use of Polyfibre products.
Is there anyone out there who used Polyfibre filler and/or primer
and then kept their aircraft outside under covers, who didn't have
bubbles appear in the paintwork?. If so, were the covers
breathable or not?.
Do people who know about Polyfibre think that there are still
potential problems in store with a finish completed 8 years ago?
Do people think you get condensation under fully waterproof covers?
Looking forward to many erudite replies,
All the best, paddy

Crag, Graham, Bud, Erich
Thank you for the replays, I have tyred some of the suggested methods.
Graham, the soldering Iron is a good one, but it puts melt lines in thepers
pex
and seems impossible to get between the door and the perspex
I have tyred heating with an hair dryer, This works too, carefully lifting
the
perspex off the door. -but I feel it will not be enough to clean up the c
orner
to get a good bond again.
Bud, If I sand it down, there will be no window left to make a small bid la
yup
and will look bad on the position it is in on my Europa.
I feel the only way would be to completely remove the window and start agai
n.
