| Subject: | Annual Inspection Check List |
--> Europa-List message posted by: "Bob Fairall" <b_fairall@fairalls.co.uk>
Hi Paul,
Attached is the list I've developed over a few years.
PLEASE NOTE IT IS NOT EXHAUSTIVE AND EFFECTIVELY ONLY A STARTING POINT - and
consider it to have every disclaimer known to mankind attached to it!
Please also note that almost every time I use it, I add one more items to it
.....
If you do your maintenance away from your workshop (usually I do mine at my
workshop at home, but occasionally at the airfield), I've found it handy to
draw up a list of tools and other items needed. This is simply because on
the first occasion I loaded up so many tools the car would barely move, and
on the next occasion I took the bare minimum and then spent more time
driving to and fro from airfield to workshop than working on the 'plane,
picking up those many items I'd forgotten to bring with me! ........ but I'm
a durbrain so this may not apply to anyone else.

Hi all,
Has anyone prepared a formal check list that they work through for their
annual condition inspection ? If so could you forward me a copy.
Thanks, Paul

| Subject: | Al tubing techniques |
--> Europa-List message posted by: "Jeremy Davey" <EuropaFlyer_3@msn.com>
I=92m just starting to (finally) fit the Al tubing for my fuel system, and
would appreciate some advice on techniques.
1) Flaring the tubing =96 how much should the tubing be proud of the
flaring tool before I start?
2) Flaring again =96 the flaring tool has circumferential rings that hold
the tubing, but also mark it badly. I thought that marks on Al tubing are
bad. Any tips here?
3) NPT fittings =96 the problem I have here is with the angle fittings.
What do I do if the fitting goes tight just after the point where it is
pointing the way I need? Is it OK to crank these fittings almost another
entire turn?
4) Any other tips?
Any help that folks who=92ve been there, done that, can offer would be much
appreciated!
Cheers,
Jeremy

It is good to hear that you have gotten back to work. :)
The tubing will need to be just a tiny bit proud when you start. The stretching
and bending it goes through will get it to fit flush to the flare tool nicely.
A drop of oil will make it easier on the tubing too.
The rings that the clamping side make will be OK. I can't even see them now on
my tubing.
The direction the Elbow points is always a problem. With the use of a good Gasoline
proof pipe thread you should be able to stop at the proper angel with not
over tightening the fittings. Remember the fuel pressure is only about 5 psi
at the max.
Hope this helps.

every chance I get. Betty love flying with me.

Hi Graeme
Agree with most of that. The problem with parallel pins is that you can't
be sure whether the pin is tight in both tubes and as you say any rattle
will gradually knock itself a bigger hole. Most of this damage occurs
during taxying of course. I haven't looked at taper pins, but they could be
subject to the same problem.
Did you know that camels have a triangular a**se, eat straw, sh1t bricks,
hence the pyramids !:->
scuse me, just a sudden senior thought

Would never call anyone stupid.........if you see the post, go full screen,
the download button is on the right side of the page, so scroll right and
click on the button, do a "save as" from the file menu and save it where you
want.
