This would all have been done through an access hole? How big and what is the optimum location to be able to achieve the feat? I've done mine by crawling back down the inside of the fus. But if I had (or have!) to do it again I would put a second and larger access hole into the rear fus.

Using a 9.5mm drill bit which my callipers showed was just a "fraction" smaller than a 3/8" bit that was called for in the mod instructions, I filled the flutes of the 9.5mm bit with Redux, when set, placed in Drill and sanded smooth, level with the edges of the flutes, this stopping the bit from elongating the leading hole when drilling through the back hole of the Torque tube, I then redrilled the leading (fwd) holes with the 3/8" bit *carefully*, my thinking behind this was should any minute amount of metal be shaved off the pins going through the first hole will be more than made up for by the smaller rear hole, it did, was tight going through the leading hole and real tight going through the rear. I would hate for whatever reason trying to get them out, the split pins are now just for show.

Other than a trial and error method I can't think of a way to copy the curvature of the bottom of the fuselage. One simple way I heard of was to get some soft, small-bore copper tubing and conform it to the bottom of the fuselage at the desired station. Then remove to the sheet of MDF or whatever you are using and trace the shape onto it (not forgetting to add half an inch or so for the thickness of the pipe insulation you will want to slip over the edge of the sheet former to spread the load, take out minor discrepancies and prevent creasing the fuselage moulding) John Cliff #0259 . _-===================================================================== _-_-= -- Please Support Your Lists This Month -- _-= (And Get Some AWESOME FREE Gifts!) _-_-= November is the Annual List Fund Raiser.

Those ripples just got filled in with the rest and the various holes during finishing. Speaking of finishing. I just about got the fuselage smoother than a baby's butt. Three coats of smooth prime rolled on, then just about all sanded off, some super fill, two coats of thinned smooth prime sprayed on, some 500 grit sanding. Found 2 small blemishes, a tad of superfill. Next step spray on one more coat. then use some black guide coat. Sand, then last coat.

I got a guy at a machine shop to make one for me but you could take a simple engine stand and mount it to the frame, prop the tail up on a work table of some sort and you can spin the fuse around as you need to get to various areas. And there's no problem with indentations as have been reported with other types of cradles. Mine's come in handy especially when I'm needing to work on the bottom of the fuse for some reason. I just give it a spin, lock it in place and go to work. FYI, Dan Tucson, AZ A144 - N914RB -----Original Message----- From: David Simenauer Subject: Europa-List: Cradle for Fuselage --> Europa-List message posted by: "David Simenauer" I was wondering what suggestions and recommendations are out there for building a cradle for the fuselage. Other than a trial and error method I can't think of a way to copy the curvature of the bottom of the fuselage.

I am supposed to attach it with 2 holes for AN3-12A bolts, 1/2" apart, and am wondering if people reckon I need a machine shop to make it an interference fit (extra tight requiring a hammer to tap them home), or whether conventional drilling and bolting would be OK. For an interference fit I think I'd get the local machine shop to do it, at quite some expense, but I am happy to do that if people think it necessary. To get the fully castoring to have the same tail rise as the old one I have had to extend it about 4", with a female/male socket extension. I am wondering if it too needs 2 bolts, or whether I should simply put one bolt only into the spring to extension, the other into the tailwheel to extension, or whether I should increase it to 2 holes at each end of the extension. I realise the more holes, the more I weaken the tailspring too. If redundancy is an issue, well the weakest link is the upstream single bolt that holds the spring in position in the first place, albeit it is supported by the sternpost as well. Any assistance would be much appreciated. Reg Tony Renshaw Sydney Australia Classic 236 B.B. Taildragger Currently working on Rudder Pedals, In but tight so more work to go on them.
