Dear Listers,
There are just two more full days left in this year's List Fund Raiser. Over the
last couple of weeks I have received some really nice comments from members
on what the Lists have meant to them and I really appreciate the feedback!
At this point, unfortunately, we are still well behind last year in total Contributions
to support the continued operation of these services. I really want
to keep providing these Lists and Forums to the home built community, but it takes
resources. Since there's no advertising budget or deep pockets to keep the
operation a float, it's *solely your generosity* during the yearly Fund Raiser
that keeps things going. Please make a Contribution today so that I can keep
the bills paid and the services and systems turned on. If you've been putting
off showing your support for the Lists, now is the time to do it!

| Subject: | Fitting MOD 52 after MOD 74 |
Morning All,
I am looking to retrofit MOD 52 to get the MTOW increase. My Europa, when purchased,
has MOD72 with the articulating rear sockets installed. I want to check
my understanding, because I am in touch with Europa about exactly what I need
to purchse. (The aircraft records show that the whole of MOD52 was purchased,
but this was not passed on to me as part of the sale so therefore it is difficult
for Karen to work out what I need).
If I understand correctly:-
MOD52 is divided into three main parts:-
1) Main Wing Spar socket and Pin size increase from 3/8" to 1/2"
2) The Tie Bar (with W26A/B/C)
3) Spar Strap
MOD 74 is divided into two main parts: -
1) Wing rear pin reinforcement
2) The Tie Bar (without W26A/B/C)
This, I think, then means that because my aircraft was fitted with Mod74 with W26A/B/C;
then I only need to ficus on the Main Wing Spar Socket and Pin size increase
and the Spar Strap.
Does that sound right?
Thanks
Jon

| Subject: | Mod 76 pitch hold control rod |
I have decided to follow mod 76 Attitude Hold Autopilot after looking at the pain,
delay and cost of submitting LAA form Mod 2 and Mod 3 and so I am collecting
and ordering bits. The long aluminium push rod didn't come with the standard
kit from Tru Track with the Gemini AP and doesn't seem to be a Europa supplied
part and so I need to source a tube 22" long OD 10.45 (0.41) or more and ID
for UNC 10-32 4mm (0.156), tried Aircraft Spruce, LAS, Farnell, RS and local
engineering companies, any ideas?
I have a 1/2" pipe with standard 1/4" ends on - I guess I could buy new dash 3
bearings but they may be a bit bulky.

Graeme - why not buy a piece of solid aluminium bar and drill & tap the ends 10-32
UNC? There's plenty of online metal suppliers if you cant find anyone local.
I have used:
http://www.metalandplastic.co.uk
http://www.mallardmetals.co.uk
http://www.nogginend.com
https://www.metals4u.co.uk
http://www.glrkennions.co.uk (worth visiting this website for the little Walschaert gear animation alone!)
http://www.chronos.ltd.uk
for various sorts of metal supplies in the past and have been generally satisfied
with all of them.
If you dont have a lathe that can swallow, for centre-drilling, the size of round
bar you need, have a search for model engineering societies in your area. They
can often find a member with a well-equipped workshop very happy to tackle
one-offs like this, usually in return for some bottled muscle relaxant.
Hope this helps.
in friendship
Rowland
