Kingsley,
Update on this subject : flew 2h45 yesterday. Timed the boost gauge : no
lag whatsoever, the MP reaches the red line at the same time the
throttle lever reaches the stop.
During that time the airplane runs about 30-50 ft.
FWIW,
Best regards,

amazing, ta for the pics. I should want to be sure the wheel will latch up .. and
also go down. That all looks quite tight considering my muddy field this time
of the year at least.

| Subject: | Door Lugs - serious problem |
I have nearly finished fitting my doors. Last weekend I put in the ball fittings
for the gas struts. I put on the struts, and with a felt pen in hand to cross
off yet another historic chapter I gently closed the door. Crack!!- the lug
had not just broken off but practically disintegrated.
See http://www.europaowners.org/main.php?g2_itemId=105733
Shocked but assuming this was a one off I moved to the other door. Mindfully I
treated this very carefully, but even with light hand pressure the lug also came
off forthwith.
I understand from another builder that there should be an aluminium plate inside
the lug, but there certainly are none in mine, at least not in the position
of the hole.
Anybody had this same problem? If so is there a repair method?

As you were told, there should have been a thick piece of aluminum
inside that lug. That's the way mine is made and I've never had a
problem...

Hi Jeroen,
Been there, done that, got the T-shirt: http://www.europaowners.org/main.php?g2_itemId=64400
To see my fix, go to my build album, Year 6, Q1, 2007, page 4, starting with picture
DSCN5547Ann and going to DSCN5558Ann
The fix has been working quite well since that time.
Blue skies & tailwinds,
