To all those members intending to visit the LAA Rally at Sywell on the 31st
August to 2nd September.
Can you spare a couple of hours to help man a stand?
The Club has been tasked to man two stands at the Rally and thanks to Alan
Twigg he will have his glider fuselage in the LAA Tent area.
The second stand will be part of the Europa/Swift stand in the main
commercial area. The Club will have its own marquee alongside the Caravan of
Swift and there will be the cockpit module and David Stanbridge's
demonstrator which is in course of production.
Whilst I have a core of volunteers for the three days it would be
appreciated if anyone could volunteer for either stand for a couple of
hours.
Please contact me direct on steven.pitt2@ntlworld.com.
Thanks
Steve Pitt
Chairman, Europa Club

Hello Bud,
Not sure who the Dogmatic opinion is referring to, you or me ?
But without an opinion, be it even a different opinion, we would not be discussing
this subject.
As for Me, I have never built an aeroplane except Airfix models when i was a
boy, I am now 66 years old with 25000 hours without incident, plus having flow
many Types including all flying tailplane, i personally don,t like them on small
aeroplans and will continue to carefully examine my Stab on all my Pre Flight
Checks .
All i want to do is continue without incident to 76 years old, and if that means
asking simple or even a stupid questions on the forum to members with more technical
knowledge than me i will continue to do so.
One does not have to read them, But i thank all that do read and for taking the
trouble to reply, asking simple basic question may one day just save my life.
Alan

| Subject: | Mono Master Brake cylinder |
I had a small leak at the hose fitting of the master cylinder. At a distant airport
a good Samaritan helped me out as I now had no brake. Tightened up the fitting
and put about a half once of fluid in and all was good. Except it was the
red aircraft fluid. Worked good and got me home. I flushed out the fluid and
refilled with Dot 4 and flushed a couple more times. All seems to be ok but I
wonder if I messed up a seal? I believe the bad stuff was just up at the master
because the line down was still full. The master only has a small "reservoir"
so very little fluid is in there. The wrong fluid was in less then 24 hours.
All thoughts and recommendations appreciated.
And if I need to rebuild where might I get parts?
Thanks

Alan,
It was to me, as I am the opinionated lightning rod.
Sounds like we both started our aviation careers the same way. Modeling
is not just fun, it was a dream.
Hopefully 76 years is the start of your next career.
We all want to live a long and trouble free life so we keep our
airplanes and knowledge up.
I respect that you were looking for a means of keeping a plane simple,
and trouble free. I like spirited opinions. Always fun.
I pay attention to what fails and why. An accident investigation
background can do that to you. Too bad I can't do a lot about creating
permanent fixes all the time.
There are many diverse opinions and there are many learned aviators for
all of us to brain pick. No one has the end all solution, just workable
ones. I'm sure you and your experiences have given you a unique
perspective on flying and planes which allows you to take things with a
grain of salt and let the water run off your back.
Love to chat off line anytime if you have any questions on your stab
concerns. I've had to fix a number of issues for owners.
Regards,
bud
