| Subject: | Re: Wing missing mass balance reassess |
Hi! Tony. I was sold a hybrid classic wings and xs cockpit module but also
paid for a mono and trike conversion by the factory and was somewhat miffed
to find the new quick build wings were about to hit the market! I placated
my self by the thought that the foam filled wings or parts of them may flo
at if ditched! Since then I am very happy to have abandoned the mono conce
pt and have landed in 35 knot cross winds and have done 1200 hours landing
in every country in Europe. My friends think I need my "bumps" feeling for
flying to Texel direct over the North Sea in 1 hour 45 ! Still I guess you
wouldn't be much of a similar mind in O Z! Just get it completed and join t
he satisfied Europa owners .
Regards Bob Harrison. G-PTAG (kit 337 first flew 06/09/2000.

Subject: Europa-List: Re: Wing missing mass balance reassess
Hello again,
Well I think I have finally worked out what's happened. I only took possess
ion of this aircraft 2 weeks ago and been busy reviewing what I have and wh
at is missing.
The aircraft was sold to me as an XS and came from the USA s/n A011 but on
closer inspection of the wings seemed to show that they are foam core. So I
think I was sold a Europa Classic. It is for this reason that the mass-bal
ance reassesses are missing at that they are not cut out. In reviewing the
Builders Manual for the Classic Wing, the mass balance boxes are not provid
ed and need to be build. Also the reassess is constructed AFTER the wing i
s closed.
I feel releaved in one way but annoyed in another that I was sold a Classic
when I was assured it was an XS.
Has anyone heard of this happening before - should I be concerned with the
Classic as compared to the XS?
Thanks once again..
Tony

| Subject: | retract lever slot |
Ive started marking out the position of the landing gear retract lever slot on
the top of the tunnel, but Im worried that it appears rather close to the edge
of the top surface at its aft end. If I put the guide plate on top of where Ive
marked, it protrudes beyond the edge of the tunnel, so it looks as though Id
need a fillet of filler to blend it in after fitting it. I double-checked between
the paper & PDF manuals (Ive been caught before with differences between
the two) but both have the same dimensions.
Is this something I should worry about? Should I move the slot slightly more towards
the centreline to avoid the possibility of it breaking out of the side of
the tunnel?
All input gratefully received.
in friendship
Rowland
