Colin, Put a sticky PVC circle over them, along with your other access
holes, and wing roots. It will go faster apart from keeping the water out.

A quick solution for covering the pip pin holes is to use discs of self
adhesive white pvc sheet. They look neat and unobtrusive. I used them
for the wing drag pin and flap rod inspection holes as well. They cope
well with the surface curvature, especially at the wing root. It does
mean that you need a new set every time the pins are removed. This is
only a significant problem if you rig and derig for each flight.

Hi Colin,
I have had to deal with H2O ingress in tail planes and wings. The wing was
difficult but tailplanes a lot easier to dry out. It would be simpler to
describe the method when we meet at Bosworth Hall on Saturday rather than by
e mail.
See you Saturday

Subject: | RE: It's arrived :-) |
Hello All
After many arduous and stressful battles with the U.S. customs (and lots of
money changing hands), my Europa finally arrived here in Spruce Creek
Florida at 4pm this evening. Tomorrow I will start the delicate unpacking
process and hope not too many parts are damaged. The whole process involved
me being considered a "dodgy character" (some may agree with that view) by
the customs authority and having the aircraft moved to a secure storage
facility where it could be thoroughly searched for illicit contraband. The
container had three separate holds placed on it and was only released after
many irate phone calls from me and a thorough in depth search by the men in
power. Oh yes and did I mention the fact that they were charging me storage
whilst they had the container. They released the container ( and the
aircraft) yesterday and our trucker turned up today to collect it all only
to be told that they couldn't release it as the " Inspection fee" had not
been paid.... it had but they just didn't look at the right bank account for
it! SO more irate phone calls and we were finally informed that they had
found the money and we could have the container. The trucker had been there
from 11am to 2.30pm waiting for it. But now it's here as you can imagine,
life is good again. And tomorrow we start battle with the FAA.
Hope to see everyone at Sun 'n Fun.
Happy Flying and building
Cheers
Alan

Delighted to hear that you have finally arrived safely but staggered that
you have had so much trouble getting the aircraft through. I look forward to
hearing more detail of your trials as I was hoping to take my Europa over in
the next few years, but you seem to be putting me off.
Regards
Steve Pitt G-SMDH
PS Would it have been easier to take it on a roll on roll off in its own
trailer?
