From: Rob Waters Hi Gerry, Yes I'm still here. so sorry to hear about your prang, but very pleased you came out of the experience OK. Sounds like what you've done is dramatically increase the value of the Corben you have now, as it's now the only one left. A very cunning plan I say :) We;ve had a great summer, day after day of blue sky. Most of the country has had no real rain for 2 months. great for the wine growers but some of the real farmers are starting to get a bit twitchy. Mind you I've never met a farmer who hasn't got something to moan about. I'm glad that you liked Queensland. Aussie's OK, it's gets too bloody hot, has too many flies, 1000's of miles of boring landscape and it's full of bloody Aussies. But it's OK. You realise of course it's just a preview for Godszone. Some day you must get over here and I'll show you a truly wonderful place. I'm still far too bloody busy to have too much fun at the moment. I'm doing a bit of motorbike riding but no flying. I've hardly used my boat all summer but actually the best boating weather is now and the next 6 weeks. Once I get a bit of business stuff out of the way I'll be getting some boat time in. Hoping to get to teh Uk in May sort of time. I'll let you know. Good to touch base old mate. Stay safe :) Rob On 13/02/2013, at 12:53 AM, Gerry Holland wrote: > > Rob!

Also i don't have the biaxial cloth which came with the kit, does anyone know of anyone with some or know where i might get some to the correct spec?. I have contacted Andy Draper at the LAA and he said if i cant get any then uni 92145 at + and - 45 degrees is the way to go. Any input is great fully received.

It is very thick and a sod to wet out properly. It is also difficult to bend and get a nice fold round the spa. I thought at the time I would much have preferred to have worked with 2 layers of uni. It would have been more work but I think it would have produced a better job.

From: "Roland" Hi Alan, yesterday I had a thorough inspection on my Trigear XS and guess what - I discovered the same dent at exactly the same place as on your Europa. I am also not aware of the dent being there before and I am as well sure not to have made a hard landing. Then I remembered the topic on the forum a while ago. You already concluded, that all is well with your aircraft but I thought that might be of interest for you or anybody else.
