| Subject: | Aircraft Covers in U.K. |
Hi Folks,
It looks as though I'm going to have to get some winter weight covers
for my XS mono.
It seems that I have a choice between a fully waterproof felt backed
material that isn't breathable, and a breathable canvass that is not
so waterproof and deteriorates quicker.
The aircraft is 7 years old and was filled and primed with Polyfibre
products. To date, I have had absolutely no issues with paint
bubbling but I am concerned that keeping it outside in very wet
conditions under a non-breathable cover may cause problems.
Has anyone had any experience of this - or not as the case may be?
Has anyone got any firms to be recommended or to be avoided?
What sort of material have others settled on?
Many Thanks, Paddy

Bob
according to my firewall fwd for the 912 ULS the cables come over the top or
the LG frame and do a barrel roll to arrive at their respective
carburettors.

One of my doors bows out proud of the fuselage along its lower edge,
evidently the door frame is too curved along the bottom.
Has anyone else encountered this and tried remodelling the frame
(perspex not in yet) with gentle heat ?
Or any other ideas ?

Hi Paddy,
My aircraft lived outside for the first few months and it too, was
primed with Polifiber - applied by roller.
I had bought Cambrai covers, which are of the canvas sort and are
excellent, but after sitting under several inches of snow and then ice
when the snow melted, the dreaded "pimples" appeared! I can't say
whether fully waterproof ones would have protected the thing any better!
Since the a/c was stripped and re-painted using the products supplied by
Europa, I have had no further trouble - but she now lives in a hangar!
By the way, is your "lineone" email address still valid 'cos I sent you
a message a week or so ago!!
Regards,
Ron.

Hi John,
Nearly every Europa I have seen in the field (i.e., out of the build
environment) has this issue. It seems to happen more rapidly in
warm environments like Florida. Many fixes have been proposed,
none agreed upon. Moving the strut helps the rear bulge, but not the
base of door bulge. A few folks re-engineered the shoot bolt mechanism
to add a third locking point at the bottom of the door into the side of
the fuselage. I don't know if this is effective in the long term.

John,
I too have encountered this...Bud Yerly had a fairly comprehensive
post some time ago about this condition and how to deal with it.

don't do this, not approved in UK, it weakens the door sill too much..
You can make a nylon wedge/latch that will work just as well. Mal McLure
did it this way years ago. Neat and effective. Might have been Bob
Berube's idea although Jonti Docker suggested it too. He used to make
all the fuselage mouldings

| Subject: | What This Loctite For? |
Hi All,
I hesitate to bring it up but I'd like to know. I have this 5ml bottle
of Loctite 648 with only German language on it. I can't remember where I
used it, or if I have still to use it on something important. There's
nothing on my punch list other than service bulletin 15 which uses
Loctite, and that's Loctite 603. Could it be for the elbows on the water
pump that I had to change out. Just wondering around in the fog....
