Retractable Outrigger Legs and a Tail Wheel with a mounting plate on top for the tow clutch. I am not quite sure if this was from an old Cessna Taildragger or a Husky. He is using his own landing strip for towing the smaller glider he is manufacturing. He also manufactures the EB 28 /29. Some years ago he had to use a parachute by test flying.

He might have some pictures.

I hadn't made the connection with the name earlier but now I have. Much respect due to this chap - his EB29 has an L/D of 68:1 !! A quick look at google images for 'D-EPWB europa' does in fact show a Europa mono with a tow hook attachment above the tail wheel and very interesting looking outriggers (let alone different cowls and many lightening holes in the swinging arm). Looking at the cowls, I guess he's fixed any potential cooling issues during the tow. Obviously a man who is not afraid to modify his aircraft! Many thanks for the contact info.

If you were to cut across the finished nicopress sleeve and wire joint you would see that it is almost welder together. More importantly during the squeeze you are work hardening the copper sleeve, more squeezing could cause fatigue cracks. Best of luck Richard -----Original Message----- From: Tony Renshaw Sent: Monday, February 17, 2014 12:04 PM Subject: Europa-List: Nicopress Sleeves Gidday, Quick question.why cant I tidy up a nicopress and squeeze it 90 degrees rotated after the first squeeze, to tidy the compress? If the first squeeze is correct, the second squeeze shouldnt disturb the consequences of the first, should it?? Tony R. Sydney Aussie ----- No virus found in this message.
