Paddy,
Sorry I could not make it as my exhaust is broken and I have not had a
chance to repair it yet.
I am waiting to carry out my permit review so that is also exercising me
at present but I hope to be around later in the year.
Regards
Steve Pitt

Hi Folks,
Many thanks to all who got to Conington today, making our most
successful DOTH ever.
I made it one more aircraft than Bryan - 7 trigears, 6 monos, 1 Vans
and 1 AT-3, 15 in all.
A really superb turnout!
All the Best, Paddy

Email address of Gary Hall does not work.
From the Cozy list archive I understand that the parts can be procured
from McMasterCarr:
teflon sleeve: 5335K17, ID 0.066" (1.6764 mm), wall 0.012", OD 0.090"
(2.286 mm), $2.30 per 10 feet
pin: 7972A261, 1/16" (1.5875 mm), $17.60 forr 32 lengths of 3 feet
McMasterCarr does not ship overseas anymore so a US builder might
intermediate.
The diameters are smaller than the ones you mention Graham, but more
likely to be correct?
Could it be that you have larger hinges than MS20001?
I measure hinge ID of MS20001 at about 1.8 or 1.9 mm, regular pin OD at
about 1.5 or 1.6 mm.
Inserting the teflon sleeve proposed above will be a stretch already.
A question also arises concerning the pin proposed above - diameter
seems rather similar to that of the regular pin.

| Subject: | Flap root extensions |
Hi there,
When I bought my Europa Classic two years ago it was "delivered" without the flap
root extensions fitted.
The baby flies smoothly, while I suspect some undesirable drag generated by the
gaps between flaps and fuselage, not talking about the fact it is unaesthetic.
In the bunch of materials and parts inherited from the previous owner I found the
relevant foam cores, and I think it's time to correct this and retrofit the
extensions. Busy winter ahead !
The manual is not so clear about the process and any advice or pictures will be
therefore warmly welcome.

some pix for you to look at. You should also look at Justin Kennedy's
and Fred Klein's design. Very nice
