Major alerts are also announced in the Europa Flyer and the Europa Club website. Particularly useful for those Europa owners and builders who are not resident in the UK and not members of the LAA. Records from the various sources of mandatory and non mandatory modifications are found within the Building section of the club website. https://www.theeuropaclub.org/building/europa-mods-and-sbs/laa-standard-mods Europa Club Modifications Officers continue to maintain this useful archive. There are a number of sources for these modifications held on the website:- Factory changes and updates are covered in Europa Service bulletins (Europa SBs) and Factory Newsletters. You must comply with Europa SBs and any mandatory instructions from your regulatory authority. In the UK these are Mandatory Permit Directives (MPDs) and Airworthness Information Leaflets (AILs). Europa Modifications (Europa Mods). These are factory options you may wish to fit. LAA Standard Mods. These are options fully approved by the LAA Repeat and other useful mods. These are Mods previously made by builders and approved by the LAA for their aircraft. Obsolete Mods. These are mandatory modifcations which SHOULD have been carried out already. You should only need to check these once, when completing a new aircraft, but it MUST be done. Europa Parts. This section contains details of the parts kits for instruments offered Europa. The Europa Club may also create an Alert in certain circumstances. Often then superseded by an official comment.

On several Europa pictures some lines and squares can be seen on the inside skin of the aircraft. Are those lines related to some left-over peel ply, or is there some other purpose, reason, origin for those lines ?

The approved LAA Modification can be found here: http://www.lightaircraftassociation.co.uk/engineering/TADs/247/MOD80.pdf I sourced my silicon hoses and clamps from this UK outfit: https://www.merlinmotorsport.co.uk/s?search=Samco+ProFue However, I found it difficult to tighten the hoses sufficiently to stop a small amount of fulel seeping out. The solution was to spread a thin layer of Hylomar blue on the outside of the aluminium tube where it connects with the silicon tubing, under the clamps. This gives a fuelproof seal to the connection. The sealant can be found here: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0064M6A6G/ref=pe_3187911_189395841_TE_3p_dp_1 Hope this helps -------- Bob Dawson Europa XS TG || 912 ULS || G-NHRJ || Dynon Skyview || PilotAware || SmartAss3 Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=490664#490664 ________________________________ Message 6 _____________________________________ Time: 12:04:19 PM PST US Subject: Europa-List: Lines on pre-prep [was: fuel odor in the cockpit] From: Rowland Carson Those are guide lines in the pre-preg used for the kit parts supplied ready- made.

To save time I riveted a second one, exactly the same. Now I am thinking they should have been a mirror image of each other. Are there any builders with really good memories (or records) out there that can confirm I have screwed up? Brian in Aus. ________________________________ Message 8 _____________________________________ Time: 09:14:32 PM PST US From: Martin Tuck Subject: Re: Europa-List: Port wing bellcrank Hi Brian, the aileron assemblies are handed (mirrored), I dont think you can get away with just flipping the bellcrank around either but you might try.
