| Subject: | Another one for Ivan.... |
Dear All,
Today at 12.15 Europa Mono #103 took to the skies in the very capable hands
of Nigel Charles who kindly accepted the responsibility of conducting the
test flying schedule. The initial flight lasted 20 minutes, followed by one
hour with myself in P2 and by some miracle very few problems were apparent.
If I had ever deluded myself I had built it single handed, it could not have
been with without much guidance and support from many, but in the main to
the likes of Neville who put me straight on many technical aspects as well
as signing off the plane. Without this technical support the project would
have been a lot harder. Why is this man not still working at the factory?!
Now looking forward to getting to the D.O.T.H.'s and not asking Paddy to
take his plane apart any more so I can see how he did his fuel system!

I am selling my Europa XS motorglider kit, Rotax 914, Airmaster CS prop,
Dynon 180 etc. I've been flying an RV 6 and have lost interest in
finishing the Europa. The a/c is at Stead airport, home of the Reno Air
Races. All components are new zero time. $50,000 takes it all.
You may contact me via email at N100RH@sbcglobal.net and I will send you
a complete listing.
Thank you,
Ralph

| Subject: | worn aileron hinges |
My Classic Europa G-EIKY first flew in July 1997 and has over 840 hours. The port
inboard aileron hinge is particularly worn and the other hinges are less so.
I'm keen to avoid having to drill out and disbond the halves of each hinge which
attaches to the aileron itself.
I've heard of a fix involving teflon sleeving and stainless steel pins and would
like to learn more about this, or any other safe fixes.
Please send you responses to Jonathan Milbank jdmilbank@hotmail.com. Many thanks.

Congratulations Richard
I think 99% of us would not finish without the help of our builder friends,
most of them new friends!
Enjoy the results of your efforts!

| Subject: | worn aileron hinges |
Jonathan,
I had the same problem with the outboard aileron hinges after only some 50
hours. A U.S. individual used to sell kits comprising Teflon sleeving and
stainless steel piano wire matching our hinges, to PREVENT wear but not to
make up for any already existing wear. I purchased some of his last stock a
year ago, and he told me that he was to discontinue this side-line business.
I am presently not at home but I'll try to find his name and number when I
get home over the week-end, in case you wish to contact him to see if he has
anything left over.
Instead of replacing the worn hinges, I fitted an additional hinge close to
the outer end of each aileron. I think the original position of the outer
hinge was too far from the end, this new hinge stiffened the aileron and
makes it feel "right". On all other hinges (including the trim tabs) I put
in Teflon sleeves and the new pins made from the piano wire. I was not able
to pull out the original pins from the rudder hinges, they were all glued to
one of the hinge halves during fitting of the hinges (before I learned how
to do it properly!).
