I am proposing to fly to Bagby. Freebie in Pilot mag. So far as I can see, refreshments available at the field. There is a slope on 24/06 but wind is forecast to be NE which puts the landing on the upslope. Look forward to seeing anyone else who can make it.

No big deal to cut a slot in the rear tunnel, just make only a few mm larger in width and depth than absolutely needed since the tunnel is structural for the lengthwise flexing load. I did not flox the rod into the structure and would defer to Bud as to whether that is a good idea or not. BTW, the lateral attach points and bolts of the rod were the absolutely most difficult part of the entire kit since it was a late addition and there was no room for my fingers behind the seat/tank back. -------- Ira N224XS Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=372268#372268 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Other Matronics Email List Services ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Post A New Message europa-list@matronics.com UN/SUBSCRIBE http://www.matronics.com/subscription List FAQ http://www.matronics.com/FAQ/Europa-List.htm Web Forum Interface To Lists http://forums.matronics.com Matronics List Wiki http://wiki.matronics.com Full Archive Search Engine http://www.matronics.com/search 7-Day List Browse http://www.matronics.com/browse/europa-list Browse Digests http://www.matronics.com/digest/europa-list Browse Other Lists http://www.matronics.com/browse Live Online Chat! http://www.matronics.com/chat Archive Downloading http://www.matronics.com/archives Photo Share http://www.matronics.com/photoshare Other Email Lists http://www.matronics.com/emaillists Contributions http://www.matronics.com/contribution ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- These Email List Services are sponsored solely by Matronics and through the generous Contributions of its members.
