    Subject: CALLING all machinists
    --> Europa-List message posted by: "Fergus Kyle" <VE3LVO@rac.ca> Ah, well.............. Having conquered a furious battle with alu - the production of Ted Gladstone's exemplary Door Openers - after having made only four of each of four samples. That's right - 16 faulty samples - a simple misread each time. In one case I made two faulty samples one after another - and each a copy of the original mistake..........! FINALLY, after correcting these egregious errors, and coming out with perfect silhouettes and holes all in one line, I have but to drill with 4mm in order to thread with 5mm. Out came the treasured metric tap/thread set, bought with hard-earned Canuck pennies in emerging German industrial toolmaking in Munich, 1956. Narex the trade name was. I knew I would need them one day. Then in a fit of completion, I bought a Swedish 5mm tap and on inspection, discovered it said in TINY print, "WS" and down in one corner, "Coarse Thread". Oh-oh. I drilled 4mm on a scrap alu plate, brought out my 5mm tap, and threaded a perfect hole. The supplied door closer gas springs (anent "GS 8699-1 2 off") plus what I call 'pivot balls', came in kit 'FUSELAGE SMALL' according to my shipping records. You guessed it - the pivot balls won't thread into my test plate. I can only surmise that they are of the "fine" persuasion. Can anyone confirm this? I am only too pleased to discover this anomaly before I've tapped the 5th and final TG openers. Ferg Europa A064 sanding, sanding, glass cockpit and 914 to go

    Subject: Re: Mylar Gap Seals
    --> Europa-List message posted by: "Thomas Scherer" <thomas@scherer.com> I have Mylar seals on N81EU. I installed them during a clean-up action and found them not to improve performance in any measurable manner. The real improvement were wheel fairings and leg fairings. BTW, I am preparing for my next trip which will take me to Anchorage, Nome (possibly with a short visit to Providenya, Russia), Fairbanks, Edmonton, Oshkosh, Los Angeles. Anybody who wants to join in for parts of the trip ?
