Dear Europa builders,
I am awaiting the arrival of my XS Trigear kit (584) and wonder whether there is
anyone out there who has a fuselage cradle they no longer need and would be
willing to loan or sell to me. Oh, by the way, I live on the Isle of Man.
Regards
Nigel Harrison

--> Europa-List message posted by: "Paul McAllister" <paul.mcallister@qia.net>
Hi all,
I was wondering what other have done with respect to filling the transition between
the cowl and the fuselage. In particular the joggle makes the cowl sit high
in this area by 3 mm. This would require a lot of filler to be put on the
fuselage. I am thinking of recessing the fuselage instead. I suspect that I
will have to take out quite a bit of material and to be prepared to have to reinforce
it with cloth.
Another approach would be to remove the joggle in on the bottom cowl so I don't
have a double thickness of material, however this would leave the bottom cowl
unsupported in the corner which would be undesirable.
I'd be interested to know what others have done.
Regards, Paul

Nigel;
I can't help you over on the Isle of Man but I have a cradle over in the
USA outside the Phoenix area that I just pulled the acft out of . It can
level the fuselage longitudinally and laterally, and pull in any twist
that might be present in the bottom boat. It is made of tubular steel with
plywood saddles. If anyone is interested I can e mail a photo.

I thinned each a little and filled the fuselage out to meet them. Mine was
the same as yours, but a classic.
