It may have gone to your personal address. I have attached some further clarification on rigging and trimming in that post. I personally use clay to determine my Tufnol Euro 8 pad thickness. To do this simply put a thin layer of clay on your fuselage Quick Disconnects. Lightly oil the wing bell crank to keep the clay from sticking after disassembly. Simply rig the aircraft and then move the aileron a 1/4 inch or so then disassembly. Use an inexpensive caliper or machinist rule with a slide to determine the thickness of spacer you require. You don't want to have the QDs hard pressed against one another but just touching. Then just install your Euro 8 to the thickness measured off the clay. A caliper when opened has a small metal depth gauge which makes it easy to measure your thickness, a machinist rule works well also. I carry varying thicknesses of phenolic in my shop as one size does not fit all situations.

I have set up at site N-20 which is on the end row off Hangar D. We are next to the group making the new Spitfire replica. It is our little British Corner. We will display N12AY this year. For the Jabiru engine owners we will be able to show the AP420 for the Jabiru 3300. Jerry Hope, Ira Rampil, have already booked the trip, and John Kershner will have his plane there and hopefully others weather permitting. Ed Pellenze is our A&P and Rotax repairman extraordinaire and will be at the site except when we are looking for stuff for the shop. He has been instrumental in helping us open up more service work for Europa owners and working with me on the hazards of ethanol, Jabiru cooling and other topics... Look for us when you get there and join us for some camaraderie and after the show for some "engineering meetings" at our favorite watering hole..
