Glen,
Contact M. Bastien at Mdoaircraft@aol.com
M. Bastien is French operates from Biarritz I think. His Brake
Caliper/master cylinder is first class, with built in handbrake. I am very
pleased with it. Ivan Shaw flew with the system installed, and he thought
it was excellent. They are not cheap though.
regards,
M Parkin (GJULZ)

Subject: | Long Range Fuel tank - transfer |
--> Europa-List message posted by: grroberts3@juno.com
I decided to put an electric pump on my Aux tank for fuel transfer. Easy
enough. But a pump brings its own set of problems: overfilling
(venting), and running the pump dry. I found a small outfit in Oregon
(USA), Pillar Point Avionics, that builds the perfect electronic
controller for this. Looks to be excellent quality and I was
particularly impressed by an e-mail exchange, initiate by Pillar,
confirming technical details of the installation.
Thought I share: http://www.ppavionics.com

I have made an error in construction in the interior of the wings and very
cleverly close then (with the error inside).
So now I have to open them again.
Any ideas anyone?
Thanks

I guess I had better 'fess up.
I did the reinforcements 0/90 instead of 45deg. And then adding really dumb
behaviour to stupidity, I closed the wings out and then realized what I had
done...
I talked to andy about this and he said that the general opinion was to open
up and do them again. He suggested heat and wished me luck! He was very
nice about it
I am currently trying to heat up the skins to loosen the Araldite but I am
getting the distinct feeling that I will end up without useful skins and
with damage to the underneath structure. So I fear than unless anyone has a
bright I idea that new skins are the order of the day. Expensive.
So any ideas or help gratefully received. Anyone got a spare pair of skins
- or perhaps someone who changed standard wings for glider wings?
Will

Hi! Will..
I would have thought a heat gun applied to the joint in one place at a
time and gradually prise the skins apart with a wedge or blunt chisel
would be a possibility. However I'm not an XS man and so unaware of
where you will be applying heat and at how many points. Why not make one
or two test pieces of waste bonded together to develop a technique prior
to setting to work on the wing?
Regards
Bob Harrison.
