Your summary of CBM1 is correct.
While CBM page 1-9 indicates you can use Q-Cel for final finishing, it is not preferred.
It is typically used on foam, prior to layup of fiberglass cloth. The
second sentence of the last paragraph on page 37-3 says to use Expancel. Expancel
is lighter, more flexible and easier to sand; which is why it is better.
You should not need to buy any glass microspheres.
Expancel should be mixed very dry to keep it light. To be consistent, we used the
same amount of Expancel to resin in every batch. We used a 10:1 ratio by volume.
This is important if you have to go back and refill if the batches are
not consistent, it is difficult to sand evenly as some sections are harder than
others (due to more or less epoxy in the mix) so you can get bumps and dips.
It is possible that the filler delaminated because it did not adhere properly to
the fiberglass. To prevent that, we used a clean dry cloth (old sock) to rub
a very small amount of resin on the fiberglass just before spreading the Expancel.
Yes, the photo you attached shows pretty thick filler. For some reason we did
not receive the original post with photos of the damaged areas so we dont know
where that came from. Filler used to blend two areas where one is proud of the
other can be somewhat thick, so areas where fairings are glued to the wing
near the wing root can have more buildup than other areas. Normally it should
not be as thick as the piece in your photo.
Since Expancel may be hard to find in the US, some people have used West System
407 / 410 products or Poly Fiber Superfil. We have not used either, maybe others
can comment.

some time ago which I have a print out of and have come across an article in
an old flyer magazine but thought Id ask the question myself.............so what
do you carry?

Hi Frank,
I carry with me an inner tube for the main tire (Monowheel), spare outrigger arm,
battery charger, and a multi craft tool. Along with the glass fuel sampler,
small torch, paper maps, required documents, fuel cards, spare headphone batteries,
first aid, ELT, window cleaner, oil rag and window cleaning rag. Not to
get mixed up!
Lastly, for me, a spare pair of spectacles.
Cheers,
Tim

| Subject: | Re: Throttle cables |
We installed solid wire throttle cables during our initial build and they have
performed perfectly for over 12 years, 900 hours. We copied Erich Trombleys install.
Unfortunately we cant find our original notes or photos. Sorry!
We initially tried to replace the stranded core of the supplied cables with piano
wire. The piano wire we purchased came tightly rolled about 6 inches in diameter.
We were unable to get the wire straight enough to work properly in the
sheath.
We ultimately purchased Bowden cable from Aircraft Spruce (p/n 05-15500). To connect
to the throttle arm in the aircraft, we used small round pulleys, AN111-3
cable bushings and wrapped the wire around them and secured them with clamps,
we think similar to cable end fitting (ACS p/n 15-06291 or 05-16100). We used
adjusters at the throttle box as well as at the carbs, (Lockwood BR03K).
We recall drilling out the ID of the adjusters to accept the diameter of the sheath.

| Subject: | Tool kit and spares kit |
Frank,
Attached are a couple of checklists I made in 2000 when I got back into ser
ious flying. I updated them for the Europa and the new cell phone/iPad tec
hnology.
I put in my aircraft spares that I carry if I=92m going to Oshkosh or somew
here where other pilots are gathering so if someone has a problem, I=92ve g
enerally got the tool. On short over night jaunts to take a client home ne
arby, I don=92t carry all that stuff (or even flight plan that much).
On my cell I keep a complete list of the manuals for the aircraft engine, s
ome avionics, wheel parts, and the like. It is all on the cloud now a days
. I just like having a file.
The files have everything from medication, prep for cross country, maintena
nce manual, installation manuals (because I often forget how to set the dar
n fuel totalizer), troubleshooting stuff I=92ve done and the like which are
specific to my needs and my particular aircraft. They are just .pdf files
but in a pinch if you need to know what size seal is leaking on the 914 fu
el pressure regulator, you=92ve got it.
In the military we had what was known as the In-Flight Guide and as a new L
ieutenant that was always going cross country without a hitch, so the boss
had me make up a checklist for the students and IPs and it paid off. I gue
ss I just never stopped making checklists. Most of my clients are quite ex
perienced and dedicated pilots so I just never published them outside the s
hop as a serious pilot will plan his flight and fly the plan without incide
nt. New pilots or really rusty pilots, may find these checklists handy.
It seems if you prepare for your flight and carry spares you never have a p
roblem nor need all that prep.
Fly Safe,
Bud Yerly
