Pete,
You going to be at the Black Sands fly in 2/3 Nov?
Tim
For the Europa list, every year we have a Black Sands fly-in, landing on a beach
near Raglan Airfield, New Zealand, at low tide, obviously. The annual Black
Sands dust up. Two Europa aircraft have done it so far, Gavin Lee and Bill Sisley
so hopefully a third shortly.
Will report back.

Pics attached. Fully adjustable ventilation from trickle to fully hurricane and
I've seen this arrangement clear windscreen 'fogging' in no time. But the price
. . . Fortunately for me these were already fitted when I bought the a/c.
Haven't flown much in rain but I've never had any water leakage btw. Clive

Dave,
Wow - we were just feeling sorry for ourselves because we have to deal with changes
needed on the fuselage. Working with the fairings & controls already on
would be really difficult. Nev's tips are really helpful.
One thing we did, that wasn't in the instructions, was to make a template for the
location of the hole that holds the aileron quick disconnect bracket in the
spar. We were worried that once the bid was on, we'd never find the right spot
again [Wink]

Goff,
Mine is a Rotax UL but I had the same problem last April and Europa factory
could not help. It is actually a motor cycle radiator and my engineer
contacted the original manufacturers (who had previously supplied Europa).
I know they provided an excellent service very quickly, they did not
replace the radiator but repaired it and gave it a full renovation job for
about a third of the cost Europa would have charged for a new one. It came
back looking like new and in perfect condition.
I have spoken to my engineer and inspector, Gary Johnson, he recalls (from
memory) it was a company in Saffron Walden, but will check out the name and
contact details tonight and send them to you. He can be contacted on <
thehighflyer@aol.com> .
I have just searched on Google and found a firm of motor cycle repairers
and restorers in Saffron Walden called Motorcycle Restoration Company (next
to Audley End Station), Unit 3, Wenden Court, Station Road, Wendens Ambro,
Saffron Walden, Essex, CB11 4LB, tel. 01799 542323/07734 591456,
www.motorcyclerestorationcompany.com. There is also another motorcycle
shop in Saffron Walden, Bert's Motorcycles, 13b Debden Road, Saffron
Walden, Essex, CB11 4AA, Tel. 01799 525611. I have no idea whether it was
either of them or neither, but worth a phone call. Otherwise contact Gary
tonight or he will contact you.

Subject: | Intercom Do you need one |
I would be grateful for some expert thoughts on the need
for an intercom with a modern radio. I started off 13 yrs
ago with an Icom radio and was persuaded that it was worth
having an additional Flightcom intercom. I subsequently
upgraded to a Garmin SL30 ( which has been fantastic) but
kept the intercom. Now of course we need to be 8.33KHz
compliant so I am planning on getting the Garmin
equivalent of the SL30 which infuriatingly they have made
about a 1/4" fatter vertically. This means I am going to
have to totally redesign that side of my panel, and it
occurs to me that something costing as much as the Garmin
GNC255 should be able to give good quality intercom
without the help of Flightcom and I could ditch the
latter. Any advice gratefully received.

Is there any reason why you would not use the internal intercom in the Garmin

Hi! Will.
I actually included a tapered guide tube to receive the flap drive shaft
so it engages on the drive pin when doing self assembly rigging
And I recall that I included some backing foam within the construction
and arranged for the close out to fit close to the fuselage but it needs
fairing into match the wing to fuselage radius when the flaps are in
retracted position.

Hi Dave,
To do the job properly, you are going to have to take out the aileron and a
irbrake pushrods anyway, so not much more of a job to grind / sweat off the
tufnol block at the same time. Take measurements as to where the block is
so you can replace it in exactly the same position. Best to keep to what ha
s been tested / proven ?
Make up some sort of jig so you can find the hole for the aileron belcrank
pivot after the tang has been covered with the carbon wrap [ you will need
a longer bolt
after the wrap ?]
The Instructions imply the carbon cloth goes into and ends in the corner, I
didn't like all that extra stiffness stopping in one place, so I took the
4 side plies [ front and rear face] around the corner, onto the root rib, s
tepping them off at 2'', 1.5'', 1'', .5'', and finished the 4 wraps in the
corner.
Here's the tip regarding laying up the carbon cloth.... carbon is black and
shiny when it is dry, and black and shiny when it is wet, so how does the
laminator know if he [ or she] has got it all wet ?
Weighing out the cloth and using the same amount of resin is one way, but t
here may [ will] be areas that will end up too dry, especially if wetting i
t uphill from underneath....... where a fair amount of resin will go up you
r arm !
Get some medium weight clear polythene sheet. Wash / wipe any release film
contaminates off with paper towel and acetone.
Make a card template for the side plies, and the wrap plies to use to draw
round.
Draw on the finished shape of each lay up onto the poly' with a ball pen,
do this for every individual ply, and cut them out with a couple of inches
to spare all around. Cut out the same number of blank pieces the same size
.
Turn the poly' over onto a poly' covered bench so the pen ink is on the und
erside, place the precut [ slightly oversize] carbon cloth on top of the p
oly', so it overhangs the pen line, and pull the fibres about to get it all
square and even. [the carbon is far looser in weave, it goes out of shape
easier, but not as soft to go round corners.]
Wet the carbon cloth initially with a brush, dibbing rather than brushing s
o as not to disturbthe weave, when it is wet and stuck to the poly', give i
t a gentle go over with a foam roller. Cover that with one of the plain she
ets of poly', and squeegee through the poly' so it goes clear and you can s
ee no dry weave areas thru it. Flip the poly' cloth sandwhich over and sque
egee it on the other side until there are no visible dry weave areas, you c
an chase the exess resin about to wet out any dry areas. Once it looks all
wet, squeegee quite hard to wipe out the exess out of the sandwhich, and sc
oop up that resin off the bench back into your pot.
Flip the sandwhich back over, and cut through all of it with SHARP scissors
, to the pen line which will just about be visable in good light. Bin the o
ffcut, you now have a poor mans prepreg ! Peel off the poly from the side y
ou want to stick it on, and you can carry it onto the job, it won't stretch
/ sag / and can be placed and removed until you are happy with the positio
n. Squeegee it through the poly and chase out any air.
Peel off the poly', and then roll over the carbon with a roller made from p
lain and spring washers, to get all the air out and really mash the cloth o
nto the surface.
Wipe off the poly' covered bench to remove all resin, and start again. You
will need to put on new gloves for each ply, as you won't be able to smooth
/ stretch the cloth about with sticky gloves. Reckon on using a couple of
gallons of acetone, 2 or three paper towel rolls and 200 gloves for all of
this, with all the poly' off cuts and sheets you will fill 3 dustbin liners
!
Do a trial poly' prepreg before the real deal, to get the hang of doing it,
really makes it easy compared with trying to juggle with the cloth and wet
ting on the job. Ensure there are no creases / wrinkles in the poly, tailor
the ink lines to miss any.
Good luck,
Nev

Subject: Europa-List: Re: MOD 78
Thanks Nev. I have ground one spar tang today. Had to quit due to roasting
in
the sun and just the mess of it. I'm wondering if anyone has done this mod
on a
flying airplane. The reason I ask is that the speed brake control tufnol bl
ock
is right there where the fiberglass is layed up against the root rib. To gr
ind
those payers off the root rib, I would ahve to remove the controls for the
speed
brakes and also the ailerons. What I was hoping to do is leave the fibergla
ss on
the spar out about 2 to 3 inches and then add the new layers as called for
in
the build manual, but only run them up the root rib where possible. Otherwi
se,
the new plies would essentially splice onto the existing pile on the root r
ib.
Where I can run them up the root rib, it would be thicker than called for i
n the
manual. There is also the issue of the glass that is holding on the wing ro
ot
fairing, which is why I'm asking about not taking off the layers that are n
ow on
the root rib.
I'm still getting lost in the terminology - roves - tows, etc. Is there a s
ource
on the internet that defines what these terms mean?
I'm attaching a photo of it now, with the intensifier board on top for scal
e.
Oh - How far does the carbon fibre cloth go toward the rot rib? ALl the way
to
the 90 degree corner?
Off to shower off the dust - you are right - it goes everywhere. I am weari
ng a
space suit and I still get it on me.
Dave
PS On one spar, There was a spot of somthing that looks almost like sap in
a
spot when I was grinding the shear web layers - toward the wing root. Like
a
pocket of sap or a pocket of something that was not cured. This is about a
12

Does anyone by any chance have a small radio that they
have been forced to replace by an 8.33KHz version, that
they would be prepared to part with to a good cause,
namely the Stroud Schools Build a Plane Project? Someone
did very kindly donate an old Icom portable, but with the
plane now flying there have been issues about getting any
workable tie up to an intercom. They could have my SL30
but there isn't sufficient panel room! Regards, David

I am just about to bond the 1/2" bushes to the cockpit module along with the spar
end caps but have a question. The original method was to set the cockpit module
upside down and then rig everything but now they get you to stand it up on
end to rig it all why? Also I would prefer to rig it all the 1st way because
I can support the wings much safer and better this way, so could someone please
send me the original pages of the Manuel to refer to. Thanks Frank

I can't see why setting the wings upside down will be easier, but it
might have been different with the classic wings. I think the vertical
setup will take less floor space, as you can stick the wing tips out
through a small door or even window. With the module set vertical, it
is very stable because the front firewall tunnel is sturdy and flat. I
built a wing dolly to clamp the wings in the vertical position and
roll it around into position. If you are interested, you can see my
setup at this site:
