| Subject: | Re: Wings for monowheel trailer stability |
Hello William,
I was also a bit concerned about the roll axis stability of my in-build mono in
its trailer. My solution shown in the attached pic - a piece of original mono
classic fuel filler hose bolted through to the top of the sling arm and wrapped
in peel ply to stop the black rubber marking the fuselage.
Once loaded, it touches the fuselage side in the vicinity of the forward lift pin
mounting area.
The blue foam blocks under the slings are to counter my paranoia about them breaking
in transit - which could do all sorts of expensive damage to the wing pin
sockets glued into the wing . . .

| Subject: | Bungee nosewheel broke - need to order new |
Hi all,
Yesterday the bungee cord of my nose-gear broke and I need to order a new one.
A long search on this forum did not yield an answer to what length I will need
to order. Can anyone please tell me?
While trying to figure out what exactly I will need to order, I noticed that the LAS Aerospace site (see: https://www.lasaero.com/site/products/article?id-1J6VQML) mentions "Standard Type" and "Strong Type". Which of these types does the Europa Trigear ask for?
I already found out that I will be needing the 12mm diameter one.
If anyone has any tips/suggestions on how to most conveniently put a new bungee
on a flying aircraft, please chime in ;)
(my first phone call will be to Europa to find out if they have it on stock and
order with them. My questions around required length an 'type' are "Plan B",
in case Europe cannot supply immediately. Either case, tips/suggestions to have
a convenient install are appreciated)

I updated to the springs. I have had no problems.

Marcel,
I agree with Kevin. Upgrade to the springs if at all possible.

Thanks Kevin, I will move to springs in the future. For now I will just be replacing
the bungee.

Hello William,
this simple solution has worked for me nicely years.
See attached pics.
