Hi,
It is not possible to identify the exact location of the damage to the
fuselage from your picture. Obviously, some areas are highly stressed and
other areas are not. I think you have already answered you own question.
Talk to your inspector and get his advice on the best way to repair the
damage. It may require a repair scheme that needs LAA approval or it might
be possible to repair "using normal aviation practice".
Oh, and join the Europa Club so that you have access to a load of help when
building your Europa!

--> <fireflier@btinternet.com>
hello all
I'm new to the forum have just purchased a part built Europa kit. However
whilst transporting it back home it sustained some damage to the fuselage (
see picture attached) the reason for my post is to ask your opinions as to
how best to repair this damage?
The kit is in storage at the moment but will be getting moved to my workshop
within the next couple of weeks to allow me to start my build process. My
thoughts are before tackling anything else I need to make a proper repair to
the damage sustained to the fuselage before continuing with the build.
When my inspector comes to check my workshop I will obviously discuss the
repair with him and get his opinions as how best to proceed with repairing
the damage.
I would value any opinions and options from yourselves as to the best
options to make a repair to the damage.
Many thanks taking the time in reading my post and I shall look forward to
receiving your thoughts and solutions.
Kind regards
Fireflier
