    Subject: Araldite 420 - Australian Supplier?
    From: "Tony S. Krzyzewski" <tonyk@kaon.co.nz>
    --> Europa-List message posted by: "Tony S. Krzyzewski" <tonyk@kaon.co.nz> Look up Ciba. If you are lucky Qantas will use it and Ciba will be able to supply it in single packs. Ciba NZ will supply it providing I'm willing to buy 10 packs at a time because that's how Air NZ buy it. I would add that if it's not being used in a mission critical application it sticks just as well 4 years after expiry date.

Would like to buy some more locally to save on freight but cant find a supplier in Australia. Anyone got any ideas? Many Thanks, Darren Turner Europa #351 Mono Aeroclub of Southern Tasmania Syndicate

    --> Europa-List message posted by: "Steve Hagar" <hagargs@earthlink.net> Darren: Make a sample lap joint coupon and do a pull test on it till failure. If the fiberglass breaks before the adhesive joint the material should still be serviceable, especially if it is stored in a cool dry place. Just make sure you build up enough layers of fiberglass to represent what you are bonding to. Then just use what you have.

    --> Europa-List message posted by: "Ronald J. Parigoris" <rparigor@suffolk.lib.ny.us> I was talking to Falcon Ins (EAA) today, about builders risk insurance and other insurance. They will accomodate builders risk, and first flight provided you follow the EAA Flight Advisory Program. They do not offer Glider, or Motor Glider insurance. Who offers Motor Glider insurance in the States (NY)? Thx. Ron Parigoris

    --> Europa-List message posted by: "Ronald J. Parigoris" <rparigor@suffolk.lib.ny.us> I was reading an article on airspeed today. It talks about most likely having to calibrate your pitot static system, and calibrate your airspeed indicator. I understand, why you may need to do this. What do you physical change/do to pitot static system and or airspeed indicator? Thx. Ron Parigoris

    Subject: Airspeed Calibration
    --> Europa-List message posted by: "Chuck Popenoe" <cpops@verizon.net> Hi Ron- I calibrate the ASI on my Avid Flyer by placing an O-ring on the static probe. Moving the O-ring aft of the static port causes the indicated airspeed to increase, and if forward of the static port the indicated airspeed will decrease. A few runs in both directions over a measured or known course will converge on the best position for the O-ring. Of course, nowadays with GPS it's a bit easier!

Have seen it on the >net, but can't recall who did it. I for one intend to try this. Put a blob of modelling clay on the door sill, where you plan to put the third shoot bolt, then close the door and reveal the space between door and sill. Now sketch a suitable latch, which can be a wedge of nylon riveted to the sill and a similar latching wedge riveted to the door so that they can latch (relying on the flex in the door). You don't need to drill the door frame or the door (except for the rivets) so there will be no strength compromisation. I saw this neat idea on Mal McLure's very nice Europa just north of Sydney. I can confirm that the compressive strength of the fuselage is worth having in a crash situation. It saved me from a severely broken back. Graham ---

    Subject: Re: Araldite 420 - (how much for cockpit module)
    --> Europa-List message posted by: "Darren Turner" <Darren.Turner@utas.edu.au> Thanks to those who pointed me to Australian suppliers, I am following up these leads. A further question if I may. Some people commented that the out of Araldite 420 was fine to use if it was non-structural or if when tested it seems to stick fine. Well our 420 expired last June so it is not that far out of date. It looks okay and seems to glue well and we have tested it on aluminium and fibreglass. I am looking for some more as we are close to bonding in the cockpit module which I guess you could call a structural joint. Also I am not sure we have enough. It talks about 800 grams in the manual, I think we have about 700 grams. Can people tell me how much they needed? And give me their opinion on using slightly out of date 420 on the cockpit module bond? Many thanks, Darren Turner Europa #351 Mono Aeroclub of Southern Tasmania Syndicate > Hi All, > > Our Araldite 420 has gone out of date. > Would like to buy some more locally to save on freight but cant find a > supplier in Australia. > Anyone got any ideas? > > Many Thanks, > Darren Turner
