| Subject: | Re: removing mono outrigger nylon section |
After trying different combinations of cooling this, heating and after much hammering,
forcing, pressing and cursing I discovered that the coefficient of thermal
expansion of nylon (50-90) is much higher than that of aluminum (21-24).
With this fact in mind I put the assembled legs (I needed to take them apart) in
a freezer but make sure to leave for hours (it takes a long time for the nylon
to come to temperature internally and it wont move if you don't wait long enough)
and then they slid in and out effortlessly. Zero force required!!
BTW, my legs are turned with a slightly smaller diameter than the stock rod. Don't
know if that is the way they come or the previous kit owner did this.
Hope it helps, it really did for me.
Chris

Dear forum members,
I have to report I am making great progress on my Europa Mono. Wings are on and
working on the tie bar now. You can see progress here:
https://myeaa.org/MartinEuroXS
or this other site which may not have the latest stuff but goes back to the beginning
of the project:
https://sites.google.com/site/martineuropaxsa291/
It's a whole airplane now! Only 10 years to go, right :)
But I could use assistance from the groups knowledge base:
I wonder if I can get feedback as to possible alternatives to procure a radiator
and oil cooler for my Europa XS build. I am trying with Europa but, after placing
an order 12 weeks ago and getting no responses to my emails requesting updates,
I think I need to research alternatives.
It is very possible Europa will come through before I order from an alternative
supplier but I want to have an option if they don't.
BTW, I do appreciate that Europa is there at all and don't want to bash. When I
got this used kit I didn't even think they were still around. But not answering
emails is kind of rude, I think. Anyway, I can always call which I haven't
yet. They are supposed to be on vacation right now.
Thanks in advanced,
Chris
