I and others have mentioned this before on this site about expiration d
ates on the Redux. Alot of that is due to how long they want to keep reco
rds and liability. If you are concerned about the suitability of the mater

f the thickness or number of plies of fiberglass etc that you are anticipa

Roger, and other Europa Builders in need of Redux also known as Ara
ldite 420 or Epibond 420 A/B.
I order Redux in cases direct through my long time distributor TAPE
. As there is no other acceptable substitute for Redux, for the Europa and
as a result I am still buying it in bulk and shipping it. I have looked f
or substitutes, and many epoxies are as strong, but none as ductile or will
ing to be used in aircraft.
I have been informed by my US distributor of Epibond 420 A/B (Redux
) that the manufacturer, Huntsman Products in California, has restructured
their pricing and packaging. I have been in contact with my distributor a
nd Huntsman over the last four months trying to resolve the issue. Gladly,
Huntsman has at least changed their policy and have agreed to distribute E
pibond 420 in 6 quart cases again. Unfortunately, Huntsman has nearly doub
led the price per case with no significant bulk discounts available for mul
tiple cases. I've researched importing fresh Redux from overseas and it
is slightly more costly due to the weak dollar and high shipping/hazardous
fees.
If I order soon, and I can still combine with other distributors I
can get 6 quarts for about $280 a quart plus shipping to you (typically $20
). Yes, I know that is $120 more than last year. Airbus is the primary us
er so if anyone knows someone at Airbus that can steal you some and smuggle
it into the states, we are stuck with some pretty ugly prices.
Delivery is 30-45 days to me so it will all be a fresh batch. Shel
f life is a year opened or unopened but usually good for at least two if un
opened.
I have tentative orders for 2-3 quarts so far. I need three others

Wow, that was quite awhile ago. It sure WOULD have to be long lasting. I
believe that was one year before I was born, or before we landed on the
moon. I wouldn't want to date my age and say its OLD per se, but might be
too old for Europa work :-) ;-)

I have a batch of Redux with an expiry date 1998 (so about 12 yrs old).
Not sure why I keep it but do test samples from time to time and apart
from the emerald green now being more of a grey green it sets as hard as
ever. The mix goes off just fine with no sticky residue. Using a hammer
to separate the bond always ends up with the components breaking rather
than the Redux.
Probably OK as a general adhesive but wouldnt risk it on anything
structural.
If you had an out of date batch and only needed a couple of small jobs
needing Redux it might be worth speaking with Europa. On the non
structural bonds (eg: bedding in bolt heads) flox/ resin is often an
acceptable substitute but check with Europa first.
Its a pity the factory cant supply smaller quantities for repair
purposes. Maybe something the Europa club would be willing to look at.
It would be possible to split a 2kg tin into 200 or 500 g batches.
Just a thought.

I just checked and the packs are 1.4kg, not 2kg as I believed.
In the UK these are available for L80 including tax and shipping. Split
into 200g batches would work out at L12 each plus postage.
OK, I know that posting is a no no due to them being classed as
hazardous chemicals but small batches properly packaged shouldnt be a
problem.

Ron,
You have an excellent memory. When my Redux played out, I finished the
job (wings) with Aeropoxy 6228, mixed with a little flox, then
reinforced with a couple of layers of bid, as I did on the fuse joint,
which was a Redux joint. Absolutely no problems with any of the joints.
The point I was getting to was that, in all joints, using out of date
Redux, there have been no problems. I believe the expiry, to a point,
is a lawyer thing... :)
Sorry for any confusion...

I am not sure whether this email got sent first time around. Apologies
if it is a repeat.
This is a reminder for anyone considering attending the Lydeway Fly-In
this year. There are still a few places left. As this is a strictly PPR
fly-in with limited places if you are interested in attending please
respond to this email. It isn't necessary to have a flying Europa for
this event. In fact a variety of aircraft types adds to the interest of
the event so if you have an alternative aircraft we would be pleased to
welcome you. With that in mind feel free to pass on details of this
event to other GA pilots.
Regards
Nigel Charles
-----------------------------------------
LYDEWAY BBQ/FLY-IN 2008
The Lydeway BBQ/Fly-In will be held on Saturday 14th June 2008 with
Sunday 15th June as a back-up day in case of bad weather. For those who
haven't been to Lydeway before it is a 790m grass strip 11nm south of
RAF Lyneham. A BBQ and drinks are provided for free in exchange for a
couple of joyride flights for local residents. Due to the numbers of
flight movements during the day I need to limit the event to 12-14
aircraft. With that in mind it is strictly PPR and I am now taking
bookings. If you are only able to make one or other of the 2 days set
aside for the event that is OK as I am taking bookings for both days
independently. There will be a weather check at 2000hrs on Friday 14th
June and immediately afterwards pilots will be notified by email as to
which day the event will go ahead.
Anyone interested in attending should contact me at nwcmc@tiscali.co.uk
or by phone on 01380 860620.
Nigel Charles.

Surely there is Technological fix that would allow you to keep flying.
Like one of those BOSE or ZULU ANR headsets to cut out
virtually all background noise and turn the radio way up so you can
hear it clearly. Sure they are not cheap but if it lets you keep

Hi Karel
Thanks for the note.
How do you fly into controlled airspace and to fields with towers?

If anyone has an XS monowheel sitting on a factory-supplied trailer
with wings stowed for travel, a yardstick and measuring tape, and a bit
of spare time, I have a request. Could you please:
1. Establish a waterline at the bottom door sill, extending aft from
the rear edge of the door about 18 inches.
2. Measure down 10".
3. Record the distance from the side of the fuselage at that point out
to the surface of the wing.
In the interest of drag reduction, I've been working on a fuselage/wing
fillet which mates w/ the standard XS wing fairing just forward of the
spar. Of necessity, a portion of this fillet will be attached to the
wing, a portion to the flap, and a portion to the fuselage. I am trying
to establish the location of the joints, and the extent to which the
portion attached to the fuselage can extend beyond the surface of the
fuselage without impacting the wing when trailering is the big unknown.
A few pixs below explain the general form this fillet is taking
Your assistance would be much appreciated.

Hi! Fred.
You need to take care to allow for wing deflection with your fillet
fairing and can easily finish up with it too tight making it difficult
to assemble the wings and causing fretting on the fuselage sies. Too
loose and you finish up with gaps. Your shapes look good. However take a
look at my "rendition" at ......http://www.crix.org.uk
Of course I don't know what contribution to drag reduction it makes but
I believe it saves air run off the flap inboard end with flaps deployed
to a degree and it blocks off the flap actuating tube slot.
Regards
Bob H G-PTAG
