| Subject: | Airmaster blade/prop request |
A few weeks ago my Europa was damaged at Glos airport when an R44 overturned on
the ramp. The rotor blades fragmented then passed through the hangar walls and
hit a shipping container. The debris field consisting of several kg chunks
of rotor blade structure and lead ballast hit my prop causing surface damage.
Other minor damage occurred to the screen and paintwork.
Following some subjective testing, tap testing and NDI, l am still uncomfortable
using my damaged blade(s).
Airmaster has back orders resulting in delays in UK delivery until (possibly) August.
Does anyone have a set of Warp Drive blades or complete prop assy that can be loaned
(at cost) to me whilst the issue is resolved and new parts sourced? Rotax
912ULS, 64in prop. I have the spinner backplate mounted brushes.

I had Warp Drive prop fitted to my ac G-LDVO during initial test flying then fitted
the Airmaster. I still have the Warp Drive prop and all fitting parts if
its any help till you get new blades.

Please can some (offline if necessary) suggest an insurance company for
N460HJ based in Richards Field Miami.
I am really concerned about liability and weather damage more than hull.
Thanks
Will
Ps my DAR visits in two weeks so with a bit of luck i should be flying
again soon. The downside is that i have to go through a testing program
as if it were a new aircraft. But still ....flying is much better than no
flying!

| Subject: | UCMF Beefing up for Mono |
Hi Group
I wanted to beef up UCMF on mono before hanging engine. I purchased a nice reamer
from McMaster and made an extension so I could ream with UCMF in situation.
Reamer worked well but the hole on both sides is not uniform. Stbd ranges .655"
aft to .659" fwd. The Prt side ranges from .654" aft to .622" fwd. The cluster
weld deforms and reaming the weld hurts operation as well. I'm using a .750"
OD x 7/16" ID 4130 Chrome Moly Tube for insert. Resolution: I cut off Twelve
1/2" slugs of tube, welded to 7/16" Threaded Rod to the slug, then turned starting
with .649" and ending at .660". I kept tolerance = or (-) two .0001". So
now I have a dozen guages growing in size .001" and began mapping out hole.
Worked great. Tap in place till it gets stuck and remove using threaded rod as
a slug puller. Thus I now have a nice map of each hole and will turn my inserts
.001" undersized. Will let you know how it goes. If all goes well I can lend
out plugs and extended reamer. Just a note: I just completed installing inserts
for Mod 72 and the holes were nice and parallel, the cluster weld down below
is a lot harder on reaming operation.

| Subject: | Re: Mono Brake Line |
BTW in case anyone wants to know how Nylon 6 will hold up with Brake Fluid:
file:///C:/Users/Parigoris/Downloads/Gehr_Chemical_Resistance_Chart%20(4).pdf I
imagine they are considering Brake Fluid to be Dot 3 or Dot 4. PA 6 is Nylon
6 which is the tube I purchased, PA 6.6 is Nylon 66. The website says working
pressure is only 720psi @ 73F,m they don't mention burtst pressure, but I can
tell you it feels the same with about the same bend radius as the Black tube supplied
from Europa and after tightening the nut, creates a "mush / push" pseudo
crimp that looks exactly like the black supplied hose with about the same amount
of torquing the nut as the supplied Black.
