All their email addresses seem to be rejecting my emails. I have sent a fax but have yet to get a reply. This all seems rather strange as in the past Ron Mowrer of RMI has replied to my previous emails very promptly. Has anyone managed to get through to RMI recently?

I purchased the kit from a builder that had skiped all the tailplanes and went to the cockpit. A lot of the interior is installed including the cockpit module, and the wheel assembly. I just ordered the tri-gear mod and know some of you have elected to go with the tri-gear mod and would appreciate any helps and tips when taking out the mono-wheel and installing the tri-gear.

I am not one to redo and insult those that gone before me.

The problem is that I can't find it to reread it, and I wonder who it was, and whether there is any other words of wisdom using one of these tools. It is a really great looking piece of kit, but even though I have cut the bundy tube as square as I can, I still end up with a small offset in the finished flair, it sits off on an angle. I also wonder about the use of Hermetite on all of the sealing surfaces, and the amount of tension required to tighten up a standard AN fitting? Thanks Reg Tony Renshaw Sydney Australia ________________________________ Message 8 _____________________________________ Time: 11:20:01 PM PST US Subject: RE: Europa-List: Flairing Tool Advice From: "Tony S. Krzyzewski" --> Europa-List message posted by: "Tony S. Krzyzewski" You'll need one extra tool and that's a tube cutter. A tube cutter ensures that the cut is perpendicular to the tube, something that is extremely difficult to ensure if you cut the tube with a hacksaw. You shouldn't need to use any sealant on a flared joint. The connectors and flare itself should be sufficient to ensure a gas tight seal. It is important not to overtighten flared joints otherwise the AN fitting will actually cut through the flare.

Has any one retro-fitted this after finishing the torque tube and could advise how they made the bracket to clamp to it. I'm following Mod 10507 from the Europa Club. Thank you Alan #303
