What lubricant is recommended for the front and rear tufnol bushings on the
control shaft?
Graphite with a kerosene carrier sound OK?
How often do you lube?
Same question for the stabilator torque tube bushings?
Thanks

Hi,
I have seen at least a couple of designs of monowheel jack / dollies which enable
the fuselage to be moved etc. One of the types I am interested in was able
to lever up a fully rigged monowheel untill the gear was clear of the ground,
when some bolts or pins could then be used to scure the dolly to hardpoints in
the fuselage. This was stable enough to allow removal of wings, and subsequent
trailering. Is there anyone with a PFA (UK) approved modification for such
a dolly who would be prepared to share the details with me?
Thanks in advance for any help,
Dave Cope #340 (building again after a couple of years off - 90% done, 50% left!)

Ron,
Although I made provision for a lube tube into both tufnol
bushings, I read an admonition to avoid petrolium based products because
they tend to swell the tufnol. Can't confirm, but worth looking into.
Suggest you dunk a hunk into intended grease and see what hasppens over
time.............
Cheers, Ferg

I finally got my wing sockets glued on. It fought me right to the end. My son
and I had the wings on and off and set about 6 times during the week. On, off,
perfect. I pull the wings put redux on the sockets. push the wings in, measure
the angles at the door sill, .5 deg out, level across the back of the seat .8
out. So now I have to re-shim the cradle. I set the incidence 2.5 perfect. Then
in the morning I found the center of the earth had moved .2 deg. Every thing
is even but off by .2 deg So I have 2.7 deg angle of incidence. Had the spars
flush with the seat back, pulled the wings, reinstalled. I then had a 1/16
gap at the spar bushing to seat back bushing on the port wing. WTH..... I think
I'm par on this one. happily it's done, not happily done. Water tube level
and 30 foot of tubing, wing tip center lines within 1/16''. Tip spar line to
tail measurement within 2 mm, front jogs to tip spar line dead even. plumb bob
from tip string to spar line dead on. Spar pins in a
nd out by hand. @ 70% from root out on wing within .1 deg angle of attack, 60%
and 80% dead on. So some good came of it.
Ok now for the test part. I wrote some code that should imbed a link in the outgoing
posts from forum to Matronics Europa-list. If all works correctly a link
should appear below automatically. When you click it, it should bring you to
this post on the EuropaForum. If you added attachments or photos you should be
brought right to them.
The next step is to have the link turn on and off depending on whether or not you
added photos. But we'll see if this works first.......

Congrats on getting your wings set!!! I take it your plane is now in a
hangar.
I have not had time to put anything on the forum since you wrote to me.
I have barely worked on the plane since Memorial day due to other
activities. I have been riding my bike more in preparation for the long
ride in Sept. Think I told you about it...200 miles to Gettysburg in 2
days.
I bought a new bike, what a difference. It has been a good time for the
bike
shop. Amy bought a bike and today we bought a new bike for Laura
I hope to get to the pictures soon and get back to work, but with the kids
off for the summer that will be difficult.
Later,
John

It's also only 2 blades AFAIK and that means yawing vibration that can't be
balance out. Anyone noticed that a Rotax with 2 blades sounds a bit
Lycosaurusish?
