the reason they wear on the outside is when you set the legs on the build the weight
of the aircraft is suspended so no weight on the legs,
when the aircraft is fully built with engine/ prop/ paint / fuel it will cause
the legs to toe in and create wear on the outside of the tyres,
i gave mine an additional bit of toe out, ( just the thickness of a tongue depressor)
and my tyres seem to be wearing evenly,

Hi
Hats of for Trig Avionics.
I ordered a TT31 transponder for 7-8 years ago and during the installation
I had some issues. Trig staff was very supportive via phone and mail.
In order to send ADS-B OUT with Pilot Aware, I had to upgrade the TT31 to
latest software version.
Again staff at Trig was extremely supportive. Response time close to zero.
Upgrade, shipping and handling free charge.
I have had my share of none existing, or very poor, support from other BIG
avionics companies.
I will strongly recommend Trig not only for the outstanding TT31 but also
for outstanding support.
Merry Christmas

PRICE REDUCTION
Due to the number of owners showing interest and assuming they are converted into
orders the price has been reduced to 195 GBP plus postage.
The reduction of course applies to the those who have already signed up!

| Subject: | Bug Eye Canopy anyone? |
Hi
I'm just waiting on news from Europa as to prices/availability of the "bug eye"
canopy mod as I could really do with a little bit more headroom, to help straighten
my back out.
So, just wondered if anyone has done this mod, how much extra headroom it actually
provides and if there were any disadvantages worthy of note?
Many thanks
Jeremy

JeremyI see in the suppliers online catalogue that the domed door windows are still
being offered.
While these windows give a distinctive look to our birds which some may belittle,
installing them would be something I would do if I were rebuildingIve not,
however, ever sat in a Europa with them fittednothing is free, of course, but
Im unaware of any measured (cruise speed) penalty.
Good luck,
F.

Hi Richard
You have a Classic the pictures were for the XS with a side filler. The
AD applies to both.
I have just inspected mine and whilst the inside looked perfect the fuel
tank end was noticeably soft compared to the top section. I intend to
replace it with aluminium as per Standard Mod 13070. If you are
interested John Archer, who is getting the pipes made, is taking orders now.
Regards
Pete

etc point to the side-filler Europa pipe, with 45 degree bend, which was an
alternative to the top-of-fuselage original filler. I have the latter, the long
pipe coming down through a hole in the rear bulkhead. Was this a different
pipe batch? Inspection shows no problem with mine, I fill to the top before
every flight, ie right up the pipe, then fly, then leave tank with about 3/4
full ie the pipe is not immersed for long. I fly once a month, Nice constant
temps in Kenya 15-28 C for storage, all seems to be OK.

| Subject: | Mod 64B - Hi Top Fuselage |
Hi All
I am seeking tips and advice on completing this mod from those who have
done it before me.
I hope to complete the first step of gluing the in-fill piece to the top of
the canopy over the Christmas / New Year break. We are having an unusually
warm summer this year so early evening I often have temps of around 22
degrees C in the garage which should be perfect for the gluing I need to
do. Daytime temps are getting up to 38 degrees C so I shouldn't have any
issues with the glue taking a long time to cure.
I have found a few pictures that show the work required around the
windscreen and some that show the finished mod from the outside.
Can anyone point me to pictures showing the inside and the work required on
the in-fill pieces (not the foam but the factory provided glass layups that
I need to trim to fit).
I'd also appreciate any tips on the best way to build a support so I can
tip the fuselage top on its side to work on.
Thanks
Graeme
