HOO Ray i finally found it.
The trim system i was looking at was for the cozy. but we could use it,
under the seat i am guessing would be the best spot
acting on the torque tube, no steel springs to fail etc, benign failure if
it does brake for some reason.

here is the method they are using to make the "Spring" sorry there isnt
much detail here
http://www.maddyhome.com/canardpages/pages/JonDembs/Ch17.htm
and go to the bottom.
I'm sure the cozy boys wont mind sharing one of their mods with us : )

I remember seeing this trim setup for another airplane and decided to do
the same for the Europa. I think it was on an RV-6 or 9. I tried looking
through my URL that I have saved, but could not find it. I don't think it
would be to hard to set it up. I'm working on the cockpit module now and
will be installing the aileron push rod in the next couple of weeks. That
was one of the mods I will be making. I did not like like the trim out on
the aileron and covered it back up. I'll sent you some of the pictures as I
start to work on it.

Just in case you missed it the first time, here is an aileron trim system
IMHO that would be great for us Europhiles. Its from the cozy canard
system, and i think it would be easily adapted to Europa, either under
the seat, or in a captive sliding arrangement on the push rod itself, or maybe
in one wing.

Some months ago the same happened in Belgium at the airport of Sint Truiden
EBST where a Squale was molested in a closed hangar. The Rotax 912 ULS was
sawn from the fuselage as well as the instrument panel. Even the propeller
was sawn so that we can presume they did it to store the stolen goods in a
small van. If you ask me to follow the traces then I should go East, but I
don't know where.

Great, I looked for two hours yesterday, as it was to cold to work in the garage.
I knew I had see it, but where? I copied both links and will be looking
at doing it this month. I start vacation on the 22nd and have until the 7th off.
I'm hoping I can do a lot of work on the kit.

Subject: | PFA approval for Mod 10623 Torque tube clamps to exempt from |
use of loctite and 10 hourly inspections.
Hi! All
At last I have PFA approval for exemption from the use of loctite to
stop
differential tail plane slop and the necessity to submit to 10 hourly
inspections.
Would those who have the mod fitted and/or who are in the process of
fitting
during build please contact me directly (due to my previous computer
failure) when I will forward you the copy of the exemption letter for
your
records.
My e-mail is :-- ptag.dev@tiscali.co.uk
