After 4 uneventful flying seasons I have been carrying out the annual inspection prior to the 5th. The aircraft had been garaged for 3 months with wings and tailplanes removed and the fuselage supported on dummy spars with wheeled supports. On checking the controls a rubbing sound was evident on moving the stick fore & aft and this was traced to contact of the Pitch torque tube CS10 with the rubber hose securing the port side Tank outlet fitting. Stb side clearance is just adequate. This is very strange as I don't recall any possibility of this happening during construction so a reasonable clearance must have existed then. Has anyone else experienced this? Can the tank have moved UP? What is the fix? Comments and advice please.

Have the standard GPS installation in my Europa, and I am getting a constant timed flash of interference coming through the head set. Switch the GPS OFF and the flash of interference stops, Pull the unit out of its housing by about 3 inches with it turned on and the interference has gone, What is causing this constant timed flash of interference. 1.If I can fix the cause of it, 2.How can I shield the GPS unit from picking this signal up, As I said pull the unit away from its housing by about 3 " and its gone. Regards.
