    To all of you attending the Rough River Fly-In, Sorry to have to drop out of the Rough River Fly In. I have contracted some upper respiratory virus which has affected my inner ear and goofed up my equilibrium, grounding me and the constant vertigo has been a problem even driving. Doc says it will clear up in a week, so just live with it. I'm a dirt bag...I really needed a vacation too. That's what I get for cleaning up the shop and stirring up the dust.

    Subject: Broken Mag wire
    As a card-carrying member of CAMRA for over 20 years, I have to ask: "What on earth is bitter ale?????" It's either ale, or it's bitter. If it's yellow, pasteurised and fizzy, it's p**s (which may alternatively be spelled "xxxx"). Of course, I would hate to imply that Kingsley hasn't a clue about beer... Graham, don't forget that there are only three great beer-making nations in this world: Britain, Belgium and the Czech Republic. Budvar are in the latter, not Slovakia. Germany, Oz and the USA don't come close and I'd be happy to assist any dissenters by furthering their education as to why :-) Regards, JD -----Original Message----- From: owner-europa-list-server@matronics.com [mailto:owner-europa-list-server@matronics.com] On Behalf Of Kingsley Hurst Sent: 30 August 2007 01:33 Subject: RE: Europa-List: Broken Mag wire > Kingsley ole mate that's a matter of a pinion or two! btw four ex- what?

Dont wish to spend time at an aerobatic school for the one manoeuvre ! > Bob, Please, please, at least take some knowledgeable aerobatics pilot with you. This one manoeuvre is so easy when you know how to do it, and can kill you if things go awry... Aerobatics newbies, be it old or young pilots, invariably fail to adequately raise the nose when doing this manoeuvre. Some stop the roll when inverted, some can't refrain from pulling when inverted (the last thing to do). If the airplane is sleek, things can go out of hand much quicker than you can think. Sooo, why not take an aerobatics instructor with you ? Best regards, -- Gilles, aerobatics FI http://contrails.free.fr

    Subject: Mod 74.
    Re Mod 74 and the addition of the backnut to the longer-threaded lift pin, the motorglider manual states, by way of comparison, that: "The pin should be screwed into the backnut, not the nut screwed onto the pin. Any mismatch of the angle between the backnut and the rib will be taken out with the Araldite pad that is formed in the process. If you try to tighten the backnut, you may end up with the nut acting as a locknut, which will hinder removal of the pins if required at a later date". We are warned in the Mod 74 instructions that any future removal of the rear lift pins will require digging again through the wing skin to access the nut. What is different about the retention of the nut in the motorglider wing that allows simple removal of the pins? And what is the simple detail that reliably captivates the nut? The latter would seem sensible. I know that Bob H. had given this some thought, but had not included any captivation of the nut. Duncan McF.

    Subject: Re: Mod 74.
    Duncan and Fellows I can't imagine why any locking of the nut is needed either; the pin is tight with Loctite and the nut will be encased in the flox mix so cannot turn. You would have to heat the pin to remove it. So I also say why the nylock or any locking at all needed on the nut? At least if somehow you ruined the pin you could replace it without digging up the wing again. So I will wait a bit and see what more is said before digging the holes!

    Subject: Rough River Fly-in Events
    For the folks attending the Rough River Fly-in. I would like to host an evening in our lodge at the resort for everyone to get together. Since I am traveling light I need to make it a "Bring your own" event for nibbles and drinks. Just so everyone is aware the resort is in a dry county and you have to go a long way to buy a beer, so you will need to haul it in. At this time lets all plan on getting together on Saturday night around 6.00, I will pass around your cabin number once I have checked in. Regards, Paul

    Subject: Re: Mod 74.
    Agreed; added to which the pin is restrained from unscrewing by the pip pin, although it could be argued that a plain nut could vibrate off. But the instructions don't call for the 'potting' of the nut. And the threads are to be coated with flox; so there would be fat chance of getting enough heat in to this to debond it without collateral damage, should the pin need to be moved. I had in mind glassing-in the nut to the outboard side of the rib. At least then, only a small hole would need to be made to check that the nut had not moved, should it be necessary in future to remove the pin.
