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.

    Subject: Long Range Fuel tank - transfer
    From: grroberts3@juno.com
    --> 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 GRoberts A187 Tucson XS 914 Conventional, 60%

    Subject: Wing skin separation HELP
    --> Europa-List message posted by: "William Daniell" <wdaniell@etb.net.co> 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?

    Subject: Wing skin separation HELP
    --> Europa-List message posted by: "R.C.Harrison" <ptag.dev@tiscali.co.uk> 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?
