From: "scrimm" --> Europa-List message posted by: "scrimm" Today after almost 10 months of non-Europa flying, I went flying. You may ask why such a gap, well in June of 2005 my wife had a non-malignant (meningioma) brain tumor removed. Two weeks after her surgery, I fell and broke my left wrist. My wife is back at 100%, my wrist, now that is another story. It is healed, but still a little swollen and it still can't support a lot of weight. So what broke? I blew out my brake seals and pissed DOT 5 all over the undercarriage, fortunately on my return to my new home field (20GA). If anyone would like to share with me a source for pads and seals on this side of the pond I would greatly appreciate the reference. Or do I need to just order them from Europa? I have also added a picture of my aircraft from today at Chilowee Gliderport at Benton, TN.
