| Subject: | Europa in Northern Ireland |
Is there an owner with a Europa, based in Northern Ireland, who would
allow an aquaintance of mine to look at the aircraft and sit in it. This
aquaintance is considering buying my Tri-gear but would like to see one,
either Trigear or Monowheel, closer to home ! I am based in Devon.
Regards
John

Good day All,
I have a quick question.......would those people that have already bonded
their top wing skins give their opinion as to the build manual using stir sticks
as a spacer when bonding on the top skin? Is their thickness the right
amount? If I remember correctly, my stir sticks measure about .070" thick.
Thanks in advance.

My tongue depressors are the same thickness as yours and did the job exactly
as expected.

Dear Gerry
Thank you for your detailed reply but yes I rember I had aheard of the gauge
but thought it was to be installed within the tank and I did not want to cut
into the tank.
And thank you also for your reply to Ferg and Craig.
Just as I got my kit in 1996 I had to spend 3 yrs building a new front on
the house we had just moved into. Add some urgently needed jobs in Rotary
Club, and then as you Gerry, would know, and Josok may not, there was
1000hrs work on the fin, rudder wings and tailplanes that is now already
done in the kit.
Thank you Josok for your thoughts about getting assistance; I am only too
aware now that time is running out.
I hope to finish filling the flying pieces in the next couple of weeks
(using depth strings, and a roller over clear plastic to squeeze the filler
to level, as suggested by Kingsley Hurst) and add the fillets.
Now thanks to Josok's arguments I will have asssistance with completing the
filling on the fuselage and to spray the primer-filling . My son-in-law will
build a David Watts type trailer.
And yes there is a great lot more to think about!
