My wings measure from the inboard rip to the first hole in the spars to Port 104mm and the Starboard to 106mm The reply from Andy through Roger was It is OK to cut the w26 block to fit, but the exposed material must be treated to protect it I will install the wings now so I can proceed, and I could come back to this problem later. I was thinking of putting an extra flat plate on the inside and have some longer pins made. Something to what you have set up. Thank you for the pictures.

This means that you will not obtain permission to start an new one. You can buy a second hand aircraft (incomplete or flying). Their are other tail dragger conversions (the Flyer version and the US (Bob Berude)). The Flyer version might fly one day but when is unknown. The US version is unlikely to be submitted to UK approval due to the costs and work involved. If you would like to discuss further give me a ring on 01483 714096 Ian Rickard G-IANI XS Trigear, 200 hours Europa Club Mods Rep (Trigear) e-mail mods@europaclub.org.uk or direct g-iani@ntlworld.com ________________________________ Message 5 _____________________________________ Time: 05:18:01 PM PST US From: DuaneFamly@aol.com Subject: Re: Europa-List: Taildragger version Roger, I am in the USA and am building the Bob Berube version. I am not flying yet but have heard a lot of good things about it. I've attached a pix of mine during the build.
