yes, I was hoping Andy would let us know the progress.
As I understand it, the AN490HT8P rod end fitting failed due to bending,
probably secondary accident damage, the aircraft had had a couple of accidents.
Andy is working on a mandatory mod which will hopefully be available late
February.
We are advised to carefully check the mass balance arm, particularly the
AN490 fitting used to adjust it.
I suppose this is an example of what can happen when taxi or trailer loads
are applied to components designed for flight. I still think the torque
tube pin wear is caused by taxi loads.

I hope you will forgive me for letting you do all the research and deep
thought ?;-)

Subject: | How to License Your Homebuilt Aircraft |
--> Europa-List message posted by: "Jon Croke" <jon@joncroke.com>
This is an announcement that www.HomebuiltHELP.com has just completed production, and is proud to announce the release of their latest DVD video presentation: "How to License Your Homebuilt Aircraft". (for the U.S.)
To the best of my knowledge, this is the first comprehensive DVD video that explains
in detail the complete licensing process for experimental amateur built
aircraft - showing what/how to fill out the forms, and also demonstrating new
capabilities such as reserving an N number by going online and using the FAA website.
I'll leave it at that, as full details are available at the www.HomebuiltHELP.com website. In keeping with the list's guidelines, this will be the ONLY post on this matter, and I hope it was valuable to some Europa builders.
Thanks!
Jon

www.airmasterpropellers.com is momenteel niet te bereiken. Raar!
Groeten, Sjaak. (volop met de motormontage bezig).
