Brian,
I wouldn't be too worried about the THIN layer of Redux (Araldite 420
A/B)
Quoting from the Ciba Product Data Sheet for Araldite 420 A/B (Redux) it
says - A layer of adhesive 0.05 to 0.10 mm thick will normally impart the
greatest lap shear strength to a joint.
I also understand the minute glass balls in the yellow paste that makes it
feel gritty when mixing, prevent surfaces from squeezing out too much
adhesive even if you bolt them up.

I know this was said tongue in cheek but I thought you would like to
know that the new type nuts are copper coated so don't corrode so
easily.

I thought pulse jets were illegal for use in the UK? Possibly following the
last time they 'popular' 60-odd years ago.

(Apologies to the non-UK folks on the list, but I need to reach all the UK
folks on this one.)
You may or may not have noticed the "CAN-do Corner" column (text below) in
the last Popular Flying. The aim is to form a network of campaigners to
target EASA, Eurocontrol, MPs, local councils etc. on key issues in a
coordinated fashion.
We're now calling for volunteers as loudly as possible. Please sign up by
emailing can@pfa.org.uk as described in the article below!
Thanks and regards,
Jeremy
CAN-do Corner
Are you bothered with bureaucrats from Brussels blowing your flying budget
with their demands for ever more costly compliances?
Are you angry about airspace access issues?
Or livid about councils constantly attacking strips and airfields around the
country?
The PFA has been at the forefront of campaigning on issues like Mode S,
enlarged controlled airspace, threatened local airfields, and the
ever-increasing costs of recreational flying. It is clear that the threats
to our hobby are coming ever thicker and faster, and that a coordinated
network of campaigners who can be called upon to help fight these issues is
required.
Take, for example, the recent consultation by Eurocontrol on charging for
VFR flight in uncontrolled airspace. Not only were the vast majority of
private pilots left off the circulation of the proposal, but the deadline
for responses was extremely short. We need to be able to react very quickly
to these threats, we need to be able to do so in large numbers, we need to
make clear, concise, pointed arguments, and we need to target the right
people: MPs and MEPs, local authorities, Eurocontrol, EASA, .
Modern technology has given us the perfect tool for calling on a network of
campaigners quickly and easily; email, so we are forming the PFA Campaigning
Aviators Network, or PFA CAN, and are looking for volunteers (don't stop
reading now you've seen the 'v' word - this affects you!).
Whenever a new campaign is required, we will email you asking for your help.
We'll give you details of the issue, who to write to or send an email to,
and a list of points you might want to select from when writing your
response. All you have to do is write. This will not take a lot of your
time, but it will save you a great deal of hassle in the future.
To join the PFA CAN, please just email can@pfa.org.uk with your name and
preferred email address and we'll add you to our list. Needless to say, your
details will be treated in the strictest confidence and will only be used
for the campaigns. Volunteering will not expose you to spam, viruses, worms
or Trojan horses. On the other hand, not volunteering.

| Subject: | What's your position on Night and IMC privileges for Permit |
aircraft in the UK?
--> Europa-List message posted by: "Jeremy Davey" <EuropaFlyer_3@msn.com>
(Again, apologies to the non-UK folks - another local issue I need to
consult on.)
Many in the UK Europa community know I'm passionate about wanting 'extended
privileges' (Night and IMC) in Europas and other suitable Permit aircraft.
The PFA is looking into the possibility of pushing the CAA for Night and IMC
privileges for Permit aircraft in the UK. I've taken an action to find out
how interested the membership is, and this Forum seems a good place to
start!
Let's start by understanding what some of the constraints MIGHT be (nothing
is decided yet).
1) Obviously only suitable types are going to be considered. So no IMC
work in a Pitts S2. Stability will be a key requirement here.
2) Aircraft will have to be suitable equipped - including the right
instrument and lighting fits.
3) Permits allowing extended privileges will likely cost more to cover
the extra Engineering work.
4) Required inspection and build standards may well be higher.
Given the above, could I please ask PFA members to advise me either on this
Forum or privately to EuropaFlyer_3@msn.com as to whether you:
1) Would be for this proposal
2) Would be against this proposal
3) Would be neither for nor against this proposal
Thanks and regards,
Jeremy

| Subject: | What engine for my Europa? |
--> Europa-List message posted by: "Kingsley Hurst" <hurstkr@growzone.com.au>
Why would anyone want to put a 1940 technology pulse jet in a Year 2004
Europa ? Sorry folks but I think you have got it all wrong.
What we need is an engine with plenty of power, plenty of cylinders for
smoothness, slow turning with heaps of torque to drive a nice big
propeller efficiently, an engine that is efficient with a BSFC of around
.27 lbs/hp/hr instead of about .47 and not only be light weight, but
will run on any available fuel.
Look no further, the answer is at
http://www.bath.ac.uk/~ccsshb/12cyl/
Anybody got any ideas where I can pick up a FWF kit ?
Regards
Kingsley
Just working on the C of G calcs for this new engine !
