| Subject: | Singleton tailwheel mod |
I am finally getting to installing my Singleton tailwheel mod. The instructions
I have, end before explaining the install of the pushrod connection and hardware
into the rudder leading edge. Can anyone give me this section of the instructions.
I understand it might be part of the Classic Manual which I do not
have. Or maybe it is posted some where else. I emailed Graham directly and
he is in France until the 17th without access to a sendable copy of his instructions.
Thanks,
Bill McClellan

Hello Friends and Fellow Aviators,
Today at 1145 EDT, at KAVL (Asheville, NC, USA), Europa N120EU broke
the surly bonds of Earth and lept into the air on it's maiden voyage.
Well, actually the voyage was just orbiting the airport but she did so
very well. I was amazed at the short take off, maybe 500 ft someone
said. I don't know, I was too busy. I climbed to 5000 ft and the temps
and pressures were well with the limits for the whole flight which
lasted 35 minutes. I did some manuevers and stalls. No drama except for
a left wing drop deep into the stall in dirty configuration. Mostly just
mushed. I need a rudder trim tab, need to tighten the tail wheel
cables, and recheck the weight and balance. (I needed a bit too much
nose down trim for straight and level.) But all in all I am very happy.
It went well today. I was worried about the weather. The wind had picked
up from earlier in the week, but I couldn't take off work. Turns out
that winds were at just 6-10 knots almost straight down the runway.
For the records: It is kit number UK 120, weighed in at 850 lbs, Rotax
912S. Build hours were in excess of 4000, (a lot of mods, plus I'm
slow). So now to debug it and enjoy it at long last.
I want to thank each and everyone that has contributed ideas, helped
solve problems and encouraged me to keep on keeping on during the long
journey of building. It feels great to be up there pushing that stick
around and have her respond so gracefully. That's it! Her name will be
Grace...after my mom. See yall,
Troy Maynor

Troy,
This is the best news. I know how hard you've worked, dreamed and
planed. Just get use to flying her. Get comfortable under most
conditions and we'll see ya soon. She looks great with air under her.
