Frans,
I now realize how stupid it was to suggest a reversed Naca. I should have thought
at it twice before writing!

When i got my kit (second hand and un-started) it came with two petrol tanks, one
was coated inside so fuel wouldn't soak into the moulding, a mod apparently?
but my question is how would you tell the difference between the two?

If the 'coating' you refer to is flouronation, then it is very difficult
to tell. If the flouronation is done to a high level, then the finish of
the plastic is 'frosty', similar to a 'frosted' opaque window.
That said, even if the tank has been flouronated (which they are from the
Europa factory for many years), if the vent and fill holes are cut open to
the finished sizes the fuel will still permeate and swell the plastic
through the cuts, since the flouronated layer is only 'atoms' thick.
Cheers,
Pete
A239 as always, still a pile of parts

I just recently purchased a partially completed monowheel "classic" kit.
The rear wing pins have not been installed and I have all the parts for Mod
52. The pins with the Mod are sized W24/4 and because I was unsure whether
they were the original W24 pin or new, I test fit them into the socket
assembly W26A,B,C and they fit perfectly. However, in reading Mod 74, it
lists the pins as W24/7. When reading Mod 52, in the body of the text
talking about socket assembly, it relates the new W24/5 pin should be test
fit. So, can someone tell me the difference between the W24/7, W24/5 and
W24/4 terminology as it relates to the pins? I know it is proabably a
simple answer for this esteemed group, but I appreciate any info as I am
trying to increase my knowledge of this wonderful aircraft.

Tyler,=0A-=0ARe Wing pins, W 24, I recently replaced the W 24 wing pins o
n my Europa XS, and was surprised at the increased length of the threaded p
ortion of the pin that arrived. (Approx 3 times longer than removed pins).
=0A-=0AI rang Karen at the Europa factory to check that the part was of t
he correct specification.=0A-=0AThe reply was that the long pin was now s
tandard , as supplied for the mod 52 (classic wing) modification, ie the pi
n is long enough to-pass through the mounting plates, and after cutting a
hole in the underside (of the classic) wing-a flox resin pad is created
under a washer and nylock nut, hence the longer thread.-=0A-=0ASo a che
ck assembly (dry run) should confirm if the installed pin length will allow
the nut and washer to all fit.=0A-=0AOr ring Karen first-at the Europa
factory and ask if the pins they stock are the same size as the pin you ha
ve ( and the current part number) she is very helpful .=0A-=0APS when you
go ahead get your inspectors sign off before you close up the access hole
