Hi Folks,
The best weather this week seems to be Thursday again ( sorry Bryan!
). We have a voucher in Pilot for Shobdon, always a favourite, so I
suggest there for a DOTH.
Usual time,
All the best, Paddy

Hello, Paddy,
Sadly I will be wandering around the tourist sites in Cairo on Thursday,
so will not be here to greet you all - but have a good day!

Those Europa Club members who have already received issue 62 of the
Europa Flyer will notice that sew-on patches are now available with
the new Club logo. You can now order those online from the Club
website - there are links on several pages to buy "Club membership
items".
At the urging of the Committee, I have added this new entry point for
purchases that does not require you to renew your subscription at the
same time. Very shortly I will add the new items to the
joining/renewing page to keep everything in harmony.
Remember that you will need your Europa Club membership number to log
in and make these purchases - and you can find it on the address
label of any Club communication, such as The Europa Flyer!
Let me know if you have any problems with these new pages.
regards
Rowland

Hello Ralph,
Have you sold your Europa motorglider yet ? As I said previously I am very
interested if you have not sold it, and would appreciate further details -
eg how far advanced is your build, when was it purchased etc.
Thanks,
Regards,
Keith Hickling,
New Zealand.

Does anyone in the States have a source for these if longer ones are needed
after finishing Mod 73?

With the premise that the only stupid questions are those which aren't
asked, I have a couple for anyone who'd like to comment on this Mod 73.
As I recall, Mod 73 is a direct outcome of the initial concerns
following William Mills' tragic in-flight break up...particularly a
concern that the triggering event was one of the tailplanes moving
outboard and decoupling from the pins on the torque tube flange.
Following the grounding of UK-based Europas, Mod 73 was devised,
approved, and implemented on the entire UK fleet as well as on many
other aircraft based elsewhere. From the list prepared of those who
implimented Mod 73 (I don't believe) any instances were discovered or
reported of incipient failures.
Subsequently, the accident investigation (if I recall correctly)
determined that the triggering event was a failure caused by the
incorrect location of embedded aluminum plates on the inboard face of
a flap...a condition which precluded the proper threading for the flap
pin which was pulled free and destabilised the aircraft...a condition
totally unrelated to issues intended to be addressed by Mod 73.
If I am even partially incorrect thus far, please enlighten me.
So my questions are:
- Is Mod 73 a required mod for any aircraft based outside of the
UK?...particularly in the US?
- If not, why implement Mod 73 when there is no evidence that a
problem with the original design exists?
- Is Mod 73 an example of a prematurely arrived at "fix", approved and
implemented in a rush to get the Europa fleet airborne again before
the real culprit was determined...and...does it remain in effect today
out of a reluctance of regulatory agencies to set things right?
Thanks for any comments and input,
Fred
