    Subject: Pitch pushrod spacing washers (bond them)
    From: <rparigor@suffolk.lib.ny.us>
    --> Europa-List message posted by: <rparigor@suffolk.lib.ny.us> Trying to assemble the front or rear pitch pushrod (bolt through heims with a spacing washer on each side of heims) with the top bonded on and baggage bulkhead in place would be a bit of a hardship. Last night we bonded the washers to the inside of the front and rear horn. Would be easier to do so with CPM not bonded in place and the pitch horn on the table. Anyway, took a course thread 5/16 nut and sanded down 1 side nice and flat with 320 grit, then 600 grit, then sticky back tape to hold on a piece of 80 grit sandpaper, then put nut between horn and hand threaded a fine thread 5/16 bolt into it (it jams in ~ 1/2 a turn). Works great as a finger spin sander, the sanding takes place towards the bolt (must pull bolt), and only sands the area of contact of the washer. Then waxed 2 5/16" bolts and assembled with washers, coated washers and horn with redux, and held in place with a bull dog clip on each washer. If CPM is bonded in place, have a few feet of 1/4" extensions and universal handy to make life easier. Ron Parigoris

    Subject: Re: Maybe Changing the subgect will help!Bonding The Top
    Wing Panels Hi Keith: Nev got in touch with me on this hot topic. < Hot for more reasons than one> While he had no idea how to fix my email problem he was gracious enough to offer his suggestion on bonding the top. He recommends that you do indeed use the vinyl flooring on both the flap an aileron for proper gap. In addition he added these hints. Cut out the webbing on the wing between the flaps and ailerons leaving only a 1/4 inch ridge. This will allow easier lift and separation between the flaps / aileron and the top. Also he recommends a "dry run" installation of the top. Use packing tape for release on the back of the top. Sand and redux the ribs. Install the top with the weights and bars as described. After cure peal the top back up. This will fill any gaps that you have on the edges and ribs and give a good flat surface to bond on. Sand the cured redux on the ribs and and file the drips off the edges and then bond the top on permanently. Brian Skelly europaxsa276 >>> Question to any that have cut out the webbing. Did you leave it open after the bonding was completed or perhaps make a cover and redux it in place. I'm thinking of varmint entry here. That's going to make a rather large hole. -----Original Message----- From: Keith Hickling <keithhickling@clear.net.nz> Sent: Thu, 15 Jun 2006 18:39:18 +1200 Subject: Re: Europa-List: Question: Bonding The Top Wing Panels Hi all, In spite of the millions of emails I am interested in this too. I am also waiting to bond on the top skin and wondered why only thin plastic is suggested under the aileron closeout rather than spacers as under the flap closeout during bonding ? Would spacers such as mixing sticks not reduce the need to sand the closeout back later? I might have missed some replies as my mailbox was full for 2 days.

I am in the process of bonding the wing tops on. The manual says to use tongue depressors for spacers on the top of the flaps to give clearance. < Some of you have used a strip of Vinyl flooring> However for the Ailerons, only a thin strip of packing tape is used to "keep them from bonding to the top skin". No spacers??? I have a problem that I have a slight rub with the ailerons on the top of the ailerons close out. This rubbing area occurs on both ailerons towards the root end. I did get the updated manual that says to use a 2" spacer when doing the reinforcement lay-up. I sanded and did another lay-up and this helped considerably. But there is still a slight rub. Would attaching some tongue depressors on the top of the ailerons during the top panel bonding fix this aliment? Thanks in advance.

    Top Wing Panels This is a correction from Nev on the instructions -----Original Message----- From: NevEyre@aol.com Sent: Thu, 15 Jun 2006 3:19:12 PM Eastern Daylight Time Subject: Re: Nev: One Last Question on the Top glue down Hi Brian, You are only cutting the part of the vertical web that is up against the aileron closeout [ sort of half an Octogan shape], there will be no hole through into the inside of the wing, leave the web that fairs the flap closeout into the lower skin intact. So if you are standing behind / under the wing, where the flap closeout is, looking outboard, you will see the ''nose'' shape of the vertical flap web,which runs aft to leave a sort of Octagonal ''C'' web that you can see the aileron closeout through...... Does that make sense ? There will be no holes into the wing, only a clear view to where the aileron drive bolt / pushrod will be later. I posted a full description of this, I have no idea how to access that from the Forum, it's in there somewhere ?

    Subject: Re: Zillions of e-mails about "Bonding on Tops" !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    --> Europa-List message posted by: Matt Dralle <dralle@matronics.com> Sorry guys, I've been a little out of commission the last few days with an eye infection and haven't been able to check my email as regularly as normal. I'm getting better and am back to checking email again. I think it was Monday night that this little mail loop issue occurred. I fortunately caught it pretty early and I think only around 136 copies of the message made it to the List. Another 400 or so were subsequently diverted! This problem is caused by a combination of two things. The details of exactly what happens is in the archives somewhere, but I'll paraphrase. The problem starts when someone Cc:'s the email list rather than putting it in the To: field. In and of itself, this doesn't cause a problem. The problem occurs later on some version of, I believe, a Microsoft Email Server. When the destination email address isn't available for some reason - like mailbx full, or just doesn't exist - the MSES sends a bounce email address back to the sender (in the case of the Matronics Email Lists, this would be "owner-europa-list-server@matronics.com which is directed to me as the administrator of the list). No problem so far, that how its all suppose to work. The problem is that the MSES also then Cc's a copy back to the actual List because the list was Cc'd on the original!! But this means that the MSES server gets another copy of the message, which in turn, causes the MSES to eventually fire off yet another copy and you've got a giant mail loop. Anyway, I thought that I had put a stop to this little problem the last time it happened with some tricky filtering code, but in looking at my patch I have discovered that it didn't quite work (doh!). Can't really test it without pissing everyone off... :-) I think what I'm going to try is limiting posts to the list to only the To: field, and bouncing posts back to the sender if they try to Cc: the List. This should at least keep this particular problem from happening again. Actually, I might try rewriting the contents of the Cc: field into the To: field, then I won't have to bounce the message back. Anyway, I'm looking into it. Sorry for all the hassle! Matt Dralle Matronics Email List Admin. At 12:55 PM 6/15/2006 Thursday, you wrote: >Brian, >I am no longer receiving them.
