| Subject: | Build Master Task List |
I've been reading the Europa build manual, on to my 20th time now I think, and
although very good, I find it wordy and not conducive to tracking the progress
of work. I was therefore considering producing a Master Task List for each chapter
as this would make is far easier to use the kitlog prgramme I've bought
to track and report on build progress. Has anyone produced A MTL before that I
could use as a starting point?
Thanks
Alan

Alan - this MTL idea is new to me, but sounds very sensible for both planning &
logging - and I'd be interested to get access to it if it's ever created! The
only thing I can think of as a springboard towards producing such a document
is the LAA list of inspections. Here's a copy of that list:
1 Workroom conditions Check workroom for suitability and cleanliness.
Check thermometer and hygrometer available.
Check epoxy ratio balance for accuracy.
2 Education layup Check Euro Chock for quality of layup, correct ply orientation
and flox corners for voids.
3 Rudder Check for lean or rich areas in layup, ply orientation, leading and trailing
edges for straightness.
Check close-out layup and reinforced areas for hinge attachment.
4 Tailplane Check outboard rib for correct layup and accuracy.
5 Tailplane Check skins for quality and ply orientation.
Check inboard rib and rear spar for hinge area reinforcements.
Check anti-servo tab for correct layup and hinge attachment, free movement without
hinge binding.
Check correct fitting to torque tube, inboard rib bushes and pip pin operation.
Check that both tailplanes have the same incidence.
6 Ailerons Check top skin, bottom skin and close-outs for correct layup, cure and
ply orientation and straightness of aileron.
7 Ailerons Check inboard rib and insert for position and push rod attachment pin
for correct installation.
8 Ailerons Check correct hinge attachment, position and safety.
9 Ailerons Check mass balance weight for correct attachment.
10 Flaps Check top and bottom skins for correct layup, ply orientation and quality.
11 Flaps Check end ribs for correct layup and insert position accuracy.
12 Flaps Check aileron and flap close-outs for correct layup and ply orientation.
13 Wing Inspection stage 1 Working conditions must have been satisfied prior to
start of wing build.
Check all layups for full cure using scratch and tap test if in doubt.
Ply orientation +/- 10 degrees, wet or dry areas, all joints for correct layup
procedure and general cleanliness.
14 Wing Check aileron bellcrank attachment to spar, and inspection hole. Check
bellcrank assembly for correct assembly and riveting.
15 Wing Inspect spar to upper and lower skins layups for quality and ply orientation,
also root rib, diagonal rib, and walkway rib to skin layups for quality
and ply orientation.
16 Wing Inspect outrigger double rib to skin layup for quality and ply orientation,
also correct installation of 3mm plywood transverse rib and associated layups
between double ribs.
17 Wing Check upper trailing edge skin bond to main wing structure and alignment
with leading edge.
18 Wing Check position of inserts and orientation of 12mm stainless root pins.
19 Wing Check hinge arm alignment using templates on outboard and inboard sighting
centre as per plans.
With ailerons and flaps attached check for smooth operation, interference, travel
and outrigger retract and extension mechanism.
20 Fuselage Inspection stage 1 Workroom conditions must have been satisfied prior
to start of fuselage build.
Check all layups for full cure using scratch and tap test if in doubt.
Check ply orientation +/- 10 degrees, wet or dry areas, all joints for correct
layup procedure and general cleanliness.
Check all parts for quality before assembly.
21 Fuselage Check installation of rear bulkhead.
22 Fuselage Check installation and alignment of tailplane torque tube bushes and
tailplane.
23 Fuselage Prior to installation of completed cockpit module into bottom of fuselage,
check fitment and operation of flying controls (with wings attached).
24 Fuselage Check final installation of cockpit module into fuselage.
25 Fuselage Check installation and operation of fuel system.
26 Fuselage Check installation of main and tailwheel undercarriage.
27 Fuselage Check installation and operation of electrical system.
28 Fuselage Check installation and operation of panel and instruments.
29 Fuselage Final check of completed fuselage including doors and all hardware.
30 Fuselage Check installation of engine including all systems, propeller and cowlings.
Record fuel flow checks in build book.
31 Structure - general Check structure after filling and sanding for excessive
sanding which may compromise the integrity of the structure.
32 Final inspection Final check of complete aircraft including rigging and control
movements, correct operation of all systems, proper cockpit and panel placarding,
cockpit furnishings including harness installation, external markings
including registration. Weigh aircraft and forward results and weight schedule
to PFA.
The tab characters that separate item number, functional area, and description

Hi Tony
You can look at my Nicos in two pages at below link. They look like yours. My large
tool like yours came with a gauge, you can adjust crimp size. I am pretty
sure 43.13 would give you dimension. If you are only going with one Nico, leave
some cable sticking out, if two Niocos, then you can capture end with second.
I use Teflon shrink tube, needs lots of heat and expensive, but holds up to
nasty sharp end of cable.
I forget if you are building a mono, check out slick 3 Nico short tailwheel cable.
I mentioned it before, turnbuckles can get tangled together and shorten up, very
bad because you lose rudder travel. See cause and resolution.

Hi Tony You must leave an inch long tail after the sleeve and shrink a
short length of electric wire sleeving on to that end for protection.
Two things you can do also, conduct a proof load test, I don=92t know
the loads but Europa may, or you could drop an email to Andy Draper at
the LAA engineering dept he would know. The other way of being certain
is to build the cables with two Nicopress sleeves on each end. I know
its more weight but =93Piece of mind=94is worth a few ounces .

Hi Tim,
So did you use two on all the ends, from pedal all the way thru to rudder?

| Subject: | Potential problem with second Nicopress and dull SS control,cable |
question
Gidday,
So, I've tried using a second incompressible, but am now concerned I have do
ne that correctly. I placed the second one up against the other one, and as t
hey compress, we know they exude outward, even a little bit. I reckon the ca
ble I between the 2 could now be under tension, continually, and possibly qu
ite a lot. Whatever stress it is preloaded is an equivalent weight, which in
essence would minimise the stress loading on the cable.
I've Lao got cable kicking around that looks more like gal than Stainless St
eel, but I know I have only ever bought the right stuff 7x7 3/32" dia contro
l cable. Is there a reason why over time Stainess Steel cable can go dull o
ver time?

The final proof is in the testing.
AC43-13-1b chapter 7 gives a chart and testing procedure.
Attached is a picture of my cable test rig.
When I was doing the actual test I had a large ladder between myself and
the victim. If they break they can go with a bang.

Hi Lance,
Thanks for responding. That looks a great tester. With the various holes, did you
do the maths to calculate and what is the formula you use?
Good setup. I am impressed. I believe you are close to flying. Is that right?

The beam is part of a sash clamp I used for making window frames many
years ago.
I set it in the nearest hole to give me the weight I required and
adjusted the rest with the much under used weights from my barbell, then
carefully lowered the jack and kept my fingers crossed.
Im sure a Man of your ability can do the maths for whatever you have
available.
The check is 60% of 700 lbs for 3 minutes I think, but read the document.
Incidentally, the breaking strain of a well made Nicopress is about 1.5
times the minimum breaking strain of the cable hence I only used one on
the ends of my cables.
I was hoping to be flying by mid year until my neighbour conned me into
helping lay 160 meters of concrete during our 30 Degree, 70% humidity
days, which has slowed build progress a couple of Months.

Hi Lance,
What powerplant are you using again? I am wondering whether I fit my flap floor
hinge hardware at this stage, or just rely on the redux pads, and put them in
later? I figure filling and painting might be easier without obstructions, although
I will be making up a cover I would imagine, or fill to hide them. Do you
have a recommendation there? Also, I am struggling with my rudder cables but
might be starting to see light at the wnd of the tunnel, to coin a phrase. I
have both stainless steel cable I have bought from ACS and what appears to be
Gal cable, probably from Europa but it is not labelled, and I truly dont know
where it came from. It must have been Europa, but it definitely is NOT SS, as
it is far more magnetic. Did u use the Europa cable or some other? I will do
2 crimps even though I know they are 1.5 the load of the cable, as cheap insurance
in case something slips, but, it comes with its own pitfalls. If you dont
leave a reasonable gap, it loads up the cable between them, as they pull in when
you crimp them, as we all probably know. So, I put 2 butted together for one
cable, and if I imagine the internal tension, that atatic load I could have
created, I cant leave it as is. I dont know how many times I have done this,
but at least I have turnbuckle to make the work a bit easier. I couldnt imagine
doing this without then, and the tensioner in the manual, well, I didnt even
bother to read the manual properly to digest how those things worked. So, I have
mow run out of Nicopress,
& cable, at a very inconvenient time. I will get some locally, or ACS to send it
out, but there packaging is ridiculous. I think they have a rates deal with
their courier company to maximise space over weight, and rhen they charge you
on volume. I have asked them to minimise the packaging but you get a box full
of these air bladders to fill the space, and then a baby package within. Crazy!
Anyway, onward and upward. As for my maths, I have to be really good at my 3 x
tables for profile management on descent, and ideally fast at it otherwise, I
get high and fast, both of which can get a bit ugly.
So, watch your back with that concrete, says he who only learnt the benefits of
a Larry Hoe after hand mixing about 1,000 wheelbarrow full of concrete. So, I
at the local RSL to watch the Reds against the Waratahs, and need to eat first.
Thks for the advice.
