Tail plane torque tube assembly tips needed
From: 
Graeme Hart <graeme.hart@onecoolkat.com>
      
      Hi All
      
      I am about to assemble my tail plane torque tube for the first time and
      need some advice.  This is from an approximately 1999 vintage Trigear XS
      kit if that affects the answer.
      
      I have pictures showing the torque tube assembled on a bench by a previous
      owner so I know the parts fit together.
      
      The parts such as TP12 and TP9 are an extremely tight fit over the tube TP4.
      
      During summer I managed to partially install TP12 on the end of TP4.  This
      was after the parts had been sitting in the car and they were quite warm.
      This makes me think heat may be part of the answer.  I don't know the
      temperature they reached but it could have been up to 35 degrees C from the
      car but more likely about 25.
      
      Now when I try to remove TP12 it won't budge.
      
      I'd appreciate any suggestions or advice from those who have done it before.
      
      
      Thanks
      Graeme

      Hi Graeme,
      
      
      My kit around 2000 I had the same problem.   I spent a long time trying 
      to lap the outer parts for the tailplanes to the tube.   I think that is 
      possible but I gave up and got a replacement tube from Europa.   I 
      believe that kit was No 517 or thereabouts.
