| Subject: | rudder cable hint |
For those builders that want control cable cutters, I have a pair of CK
cutters (CK TOOLS T3744, 190mm AIRCRAFT CABLE & WIRE ROPE CUTTER), they have
worked perfectly. They are not very expensive and are readily available.
See the attached ebay link. A google search showed plenty of suppliers on
both sides of the pond.

| Subject: | Naca Vent Position |
David,
I do not know the factory recommanded position. For the position of the
vents on my own airplane, see attached picture. They are very effective
but the pilot side vent used to have a tendency to recycle exhaust gases
at high angle of attack with the engine at low power, so I had to close
it before approach and landing! I had to extend the exhaust pipe two
inches to solve that problem. So I believe a higher and/or more forward
position of the vents would have been better.
I hope that helps.
Regards

<<<<<<<<I'm trying to find the recommended position for the Naca fresh
air vents
in the front fuselage side. I understand that at one time the factory
recommended a position and produced a drawing. From an approval point of
view with the LAA it would help considerably if I stayed with this
recommendation.If anyone has access to this drawing then a copy would be
greatly
appreciated.Regards David Steade>>>>>>>>>>>

Europa's original view on this was "...as far forward and as high as
possible..." in the lower fuselage moulding.

Thanks for the number of observations regarding cutting SS rudder cable.....
yes, I tried each one and they are good - as bench tools.
However, I should have said "I'm lying on my gut in the back of
the aircraft, with my head about 1/2inch below the ceiling, and pocket
change and hand tools sliding out of my pockets........*
Now I need to clip about 1/16inch off the end of the cable. Do I
drag in the high-speed drill and diamond disc, manage the cut without
fraggling the ends or setting fire to the composite, then drag in the vacuum
and seek out the tiny burnt ends?....or do I reach into my pocket, grip the
cutter. save the 19 pieces of 1/16inch clippings in my other hand, and put
the cutter away?
Ferg
PS: Whacking a chisel onto a steel plate don't cut the mustard 'back here',
especially for 1/16inch clip.
* I made a platform (which will eventually be a folding bed base) from the
throttle stand through the headrests, span the back space and cantilever
across the D-panel bottom to two supporters on either side of the fuselage
at the canoe-join level.
