Thanks Nigel I will get it inspected before covering it up. I will also
take pictures.
I am in New Zealand so there is no formal inspection required until the
build is finished.

Graeme,
many thanks for sharing this. Although mine is an XS, I will check the pins thoroughly
more often since I trailer my Europa to the airfield and so have access
to them.

| Subject: | Callisto Talk - White Waltham - on the 24th |
Apologies to anybody that doesn't live in the South of England as this
won't be of any interest.
I am giving a talk on the development of the "Callisto".
https://www.flickr.com/photos/jlt_egcc74/28854313663/in/photolist-pyBgiA-p3KZq4-p1MNbQ-LVwvBG-KXKUbB-LUHVMD/
There will be a "picture rich" presentation and I'll take loads of mould
parts along. The evening should appeal to anyone that has toyed with the
idea of customising his plane, or is curious to know how composite parts
are made.
When: next Monday 24th October - 19.30
Where: "The JOYSTICK CLUB"
West London Aero Club
White Waltham Airfield
Maidenhead
SL6 3NJ
Web: wlac.co.uk <http://wlac.co.uk>
Mike Clews has arranged this and has extended the invitation to all
Europa owners/builders that can make it.
Food will be available from 1800 from the bar, with aviation videos
running until 19.30 when meeting proper starts.
There's no charge and you don't need to book.
Nigel

Graeme,
I fail to see how there is any turning moment on the flap drive pin. Both the flap
and the flap cross tube pivot around a common axis.
However, because of the wings dihedral, if the floating bearing in the end of the
flap cross tube is seized or very tight, this may possibly induce some turning
moment especially if the bearing surface of the pin inside the bearing was
not lubricated.
Personally, I hope there is no knee jerk reaction to this failure resulting in
a mandatory mod. My flap drive pins were reduxed in and if the problem I had
getting my rear wing pins out for that mod are any example, there is no way my
flap drive pins are ever going to back out of their own accord.
Best Regards

on this one. This is not true of the other pins. The rear wing pin has a
nut on the back and a pin through it. I haven't checked starboard flap pin yet.
It maybe that the turning tends to tighten that side and loosen the Port. And
it maybe that due to alignment perhaps there was some pressure on it.

if the socket it goes is a bearing and whether lubrication should have been
regularly applied. The other pins are greased.

Hi Graham,
When I spoke to you at Gloucester, you said that you had a great collection of
bits, some of which are available, so I was just wondering if you had a Classic
Mono Brake Disc amongst those bits.
I am not desperate for it, but I am aware that after 2,300 hours mine is starting
get to a bit thinner and the factory don't have any stock of them.

I can now confirm it was a build issue and not a design problem. The starboard
pin was fully in and had not moved, but not glued in. I shall also be checking
these regularly now and will also keeping lubricated along with the bearing.

| Subject: | Gold Rush N128LJ For Sale |
Hello Europa Fans,
Some of you might remember about 5 years back we attempted to sell Gold
Rush. When it looked like we would have to give it a way and after a
move to Florida I decided to embrace her again and invest in a brand new
912ULS. Ever since I have had a blast flying throughout the state
putting 150 plus hours on the new engine & Gold Rush. We=99re now
living at Leeward Air Ranch and are looking to move up to a 4 place if
possible. Lots of grand kids to pick up all the time. So I thought I
should let the group know that Europa N128LJ is for sale. She only has
455 hours TTAF. The new 912ULS installed in 2013 by Bud Yearly only has
152 hours on it. This plane has been very well maintained and is in fly
away condition! In 2014 she won an outstanding home built award at
Sun-N-Fun! She has a Sensenich carbon fiber prop, and is a day night
VFR, 130 KTS flyer. She cruises around 127 KTS at 5200 RPM at 5GPH 93
octane. She is registered as experimental NOT Light Sport. The panel has
AV-Map connected to a Trio auto pilot. Garmin transponder with an I-Con
radio intercom and more. We=99re asking only 52K as we we want to
move it. I can send pictures and any info if you want to contact me off
list. Please no tire kickers ;-)
