Phew thanks very much, I jut had a restless night with "leftover"
syndrome imagining where it should go.
this one turned up in my speed kit box which I dug out all covered with
dust and full of spiders having put it away nigh on 10 years ago...
I certainly already have the link rods so it must be an extra one.

Hello,
As I am considering the Europa I would be grateful if you could inform
me about the possibilities of removing and attaching the wings single
handed. I have seen in the manual that this can be done by two people.
However, my requirement is for this to be done single handed, as hangar
space is expensive.
My idea is to go to the airfield, attach the wings on the aircraft, fly
and prior to inserting in the hangar to remove the wings. Is there any
equipment available which enables this to be done single handed with an
Europa? In that case I reckon that the equipment will be bound at the
home base so removing and reattaching wings will not be possible at
other airfields.
Thank you for your reply.

Many gliders and some Europas have a 'one man (woman)' rigging aid. It consists
of a wing dolly that can be rotated between vertical and horizontal, while you
handle the wing root. I digest you look initially on glider web sites.

George - yes, one-man (or one-woman) rigging is possible. Ive been doing quite
a bit of that recently while setting up the wing pin sockets; see my photo pages:
http://www.rowlandcarson.org.uk/aviation/europa_435/dolly_transfer.php
http://www.rowlandcarson.org.uk/aviation/europa_435/first_wing_rig.php
http://www.rowlandcarson.org.uk/aviation/europa_435/try_wing_incidence.php
for pictures of the fuselage and wing dollies.
Yes, the rigging kit definitely stays at the departure airfield!
My dollies came with the covered trailer I bought from Roger Huttlestone who operates
from an industrial unit near Moreton-in-Marsh. However, I believe that
he is no longer making the trailers. It's possible he might consider making the
rigging kit if he still has the templates and fixtures.
Please let me know if you would like contact details for Roger (he does seem to
be well-known to Google . . . ).

Hi George
Yes it is straight forward single person rigging as Alan said. You will ne
ed a dolly constructed that swivels thru 90 degrees with golf cart wheels
etc. I constructed one =2Cas I use to rig and de- rig my europa every fli
ght up until 3 or 4 years ago.

Alan - I dont know what proportion of the trailer cost was allocated by Roger Huttlestone
to the dollies etc. He gave me a discount on the standard trailer and
rigging set price because I fitted the ramp, floored, undersealed and wired
the trailer myself, and also provided some manual labour for fitting the roof
at his workshop. His bill in November 1999 came to 3850.
If Rogers not prepared to make the rigging kit any more (I see hes into car restorations
now), Im sure he wouldnt mind you taking measurements from mine to prepare
a spec for construction by A N Other.

My apologies for the crudity of the title original email, I meant to include
a small portion of the multi-page insert, comprising a multitude of random
numbers - say five pages of space, not once but twice in the same list. I
suspect it's a graphic or photo and I am out of the mainstream in this..

With the wings off you will need a dolly that quickly attaches and removes. The
unit I ginned up has been very robust. I have done full throttle run ups many
times with the wings off. With the plane tied to the back of the car of course.

A question for the assembled wisdom.
The port side of the stern post has to be cut back as does the outer skin.
As I understand it the stern post on the port side glues to the foam.
>From the manual it appears that one should glue first and then cut
back....but it looks easier to cut first and then glue.
Any thoughts?

Hi there,
Does anyone have a Tail Wheel Fairing/spat wanting a home?
Certain amount of damage has occurred on my one after 500 hours.
Have had a protector on it made from fiberglass which has been good but now the
fairing has cracked. Has anyone some better ideas on how to protect the leading
edge of the fairing from
stone damage?
Cheers,

Mine wore out several times due to rough strips and finally I took it
off and do without it. No noticeable performance at all.
I plan to bring my long ranger tank down to you at Great Plains assuming
you still want it.
