I do not have the highest houred Europa, as I know of one other with more an
d there may be others.
As for control play, there is no more now than there was at the end of the b
uild although there are a couple of jobs that I have had to do along the way
.
I have replaced a couple of the aileron hinges and I have beefed up the flan
ges that the hinges for the ailerons and trim tabs are attached to (in addit
ion to the factory suggested beef up). I have also gone to the larger pins i
n the tailplane attachments.
The only other maintenance area is the bushes in the mono swinging arm retra
ction links, which I seem to replace at around 400 hour intervals.
Other than that it is just routine like disc pads etc.
