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 ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 11:53:57 AM PST US Subject: Europa-List: Re: Winching attachment points to Tri Gear for Trailering From: "Alan Carter" 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.

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 Jerry Mono 914 Sent from my iPad ________________________________ Message 4 _____________________________________ Time: 08:00:24 PM PST US From: "Bud Yerly" Subject: Re: Europa-List: Re: Winching attachment points to Tri Gear for Trailering 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.
