    Subject: mod 70 clearance for balance weights
    Craig I have kept the cables as well as using turnbuckles to keep it centered Mod 11510 allow's retaining the cables, Regards Ivor I have done the replacement of the elevator mass balance arm, using the tufnol bushes as supplied instead of the cables to control lateral movement, but i am wondering if i have too much clearance. I packed the bushes with thin strips of timber to give about 1mm of total clearance but it still thumps when moved from side to side. I have concerns about going too tight here in case it wants to bind through a steep turn or similar. I wonder if the cables are not a better way to go. :roll:

    For what its worth. I have just found out that the FAA have either removed the need for this certificate or put it off until next year.

    Subject: English language certificate
    That's not what is happening. If you do not fly outside of the USA then you don't need to do anything. If you are an airline type and fly across borders then you need to have your certificate replaced with one that states you meet ICAO standards. All certificates being isuued from OKC will have a statement on them stating that the holder meets ICAO standards. If you need one then go on the FAA.GOV website give them two dollars and they will sent you one.

    Subject: Re: mod 70 clearance for balance weights
    Craig, I retained my cables also. But, take care, I was villified by the pundits etc, for suggesting that the tufnol bushes was a backward step from the cables/turnbuckle arrangement. It was and remains, in my opinion, an ill thought out modification which at best, lacked elegance. Talk about throwing the baby out with the bath water!!!! regards, Mike ----- Original Message ----- From: "raggi6771" <craigb@onthenet.com.au> Sent: Friday, March 07, 2008 8:50 PM Subject: Europa-List: mod 70 clearance for balance weights > > I have done the replacement of the elevator mass balance arm, using > the tufnol bushes as supplied instead of the cables to control lateral > movement, but i am wondering if i have too much clearance.

    thanks mike, well I had already done the tufnol runners, I did think the cables would be better, but thought the runners would be faster as i still have the top off. Anyway I have both now, with turnbuckles in there as well. I guess the runners would be good if you didn't have the turn buckles as i would think it near on impossible to get the new cables fitted around the nylon retainer on the torque tube if you had the top on. regards Craig do not archive Visit - www.EuropaOwners.org

    Subject: High temperature fiberglass
    Hi all, I was looking at a Rotax installation in a Diamond Kintana the other day and I noticed that they have manufactured a fiberglass plenum air duct to drive the airflow over the cylinder heads and downwards. Anyhow, I am curious about what type of fiberglass cloth and resin system they use that could withstand the temperatures under the cowling. Does anyone have any idea ? Thanks, Paul

    Paul, I wouldn't know the answers to those questions. Most 912S's have that shrou d. I once checked the temperature under the shroud and found it only to be about 45C above oat. I was hoping to tap into that for cabin heat, but it w asn't hot enough, at least not near the front of the engine. Of course the under cowling temperatures rise dramatically after engine shutdown.

    There are many high temp epoxy systems available which will handle temps up to 450f, the use of carbon fibre cloth will help as well but glass cloth should be more than adequate. I saw ONCE (do you think i can find it again) that there was an epoxy capable of being used to fabricate exhaust headers if used with carbon fibre cloth. Imagine the weight saving. :roll: If it is just ground temps after shut down you are concerned about, maybe you could put a small 12v brush-less DC fan to move some air after shut down, they are small light and draw about half an amp. Only issue would be the mounting so it worked ok when stopped but didn't get destroyed in flight Craig Visit - www.EuropaOwners.org

    Subject: High temperature fiberglass
    Hi! Paul No specific temperatures but due to a minor conflict with the vac pump I used I had to apply heat to the plenum/hood and it responds to temperature and allows a deformation so IMHO it is still standard resin and fiberglass. I am catching air aft of oil cooler and radiator with adequate heat (not as hot as I used to get from the Jabiru oil Cooler but comfortable.
