Hi,
I have an Arplast PV50 VP prop (narrow blades) that is surplus to requirements.
It has done 410 hours and is in basically sound condition. Some minor dings on
the blades but nothing major. It hasn't been used since 2007 so it probably
should be serviced before being used again. I have tested that the motor works
and it can move between the pitch limits. It's offered for sale with the Arplast
"piano wire through the prop shaft" mechanism and a spare motor and gearbox
but no electronics. The price is 1000 GBP (no VAT). If you are interested, please
call me on 07851 578 537.
Cheers,
Mark
PS I also have a classic Europa spinner with CF backplate.

Bud,
So sorry to hear about your diagnosis. But chin up: you have a lot of mental
support from all over the world. Been there done that twelve years ago, just
after buying my Europa kit. Now I am fully recovered and close to completion
of the aircraft. Some histories of men and aircraft are twisty. Stay focused
to the target of full recovery!
Best regards,
Alfred

Bud,
Really sorry to hear about your prostate problem. I went through the same
diagnosis some years ago and opted to have it removed. Best decision ever
made since I'm still around to talk about sex (but can't do anything about
it!)
Good Luck and best regards,
Dale Hetrick

I hate to admit I am getting a bit old.
I have the been diagnosed with prostate cancer. We should have caught it
earlier but that is life. I have been going through biopsies, cat scans,
bone scans, and had folks violating my body in new and unusual ways for the
last month and have a bit more to do to check all the avenues of spread. I
know I could never be a gay person now.
Good news is I have great doctors and facilities, good insurance, and have
had to learn patience with those who practice medicine. I have learned that
health insurance professionals / death board members require more of my
attention than the doctors (and I found it difficult not to be cranky with
them). My prognosis is full recovery after a few months of discomfort and
more tests. I understand that it is difficult to sleep when your groin
glows in the dark. We shall see.
So you guys lucky enough to be at Rough River, I envy you and will miss an
opportunity to bore you to death.
Regards,
Bud Yerly

Hello Graham.
I went up to Headcorn today and carried out the checks as Bud listed.
I got behind the rudder tilted it to one side and more or less did the splits with
my legs and could just reach the Stab beyond the trim.
You really do need long arm,s, i moved the Stab to each stop and applied the one
up and one down twisting pressure, and to my relief i found no movement.
Then at the ends of the Stab i applied horizontal fore and aft movement, very small
about 1/64" hardly detectable.
Pull the Stab towards and way from me again no movement,
The pipe pins that hold the Stab on the torque tube are located under an alloy
cover plate , Maybe a perspex cover would be better so you can see them.? (as
i remember the pins are long with the little retaining balls well below the tube.,
and would hit against the cover plate before coming out.)
I found slight play on the Stab Trim pin, i checked 7 Europa,s at Popham and found
all the same amount of play, only one had no play.
I then went to the joy stick here i found a clunk click ie some playA.
I measured this at the top of the joystick and would say you could wobble it fore
and aft, with a total play of between 4 to 5 mm before stab moved.
How much if any should i have,?
Alan
