To do so you risk the lives of those on board and those located wherever the ensuing crash occurs. Would you fly without a fin? Impatience is a killer. Finish the aircraft to spec and then go and enjoy it. -------- John Wighton Europa XS trigear G-IPOD Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=499748#499748 ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 02:42:28 AM PST US Subject: Europa-List: Re: Spar Strap From: "jglazener" Thanks everybody for all the useful information and particularly Bud for once again coming to the rescue with really good instructions. When are you going to bundle and publish these? I take to heart the point about getting it finished properly. I haven't cut corners so far and agree this is probably not the best place to start. I will give the styrofoam idea a try- as soon as they will allow me into a shop to buy some... . Winter here is everything epoxy and I don't like: cool and very damp so I am sure that will make the difference between ending up with a strong part or a soggy mess. -------- Jeroen http://www.europaowners.org/main.php?g2_itemId=44165 Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=499749#499749 ________________________________ Message 3 _____________________________________ Time: 02:48:53 AM PST US From: "Bill" Subject: RE: Europa-List: Oil Catch Can Ron, Here's what I used. $10 on ebay.

I had to do this in bogota which has quite cold nights almost all year round. Greenhouse plastic sheet...lots of spring clips (the ones for paper) and fan heaters with the aircraft spruce temperature cut out.

You are correct the original design was by Miles who is now my inspector and John did the stress work to get the design approved. As a side note to this, I am currently working on another conventional tail dragger design that should be a lot easier to install than the Miles set up. There will also be no internal structure as it will mostly be contained in the wheel well. It too will use tri-gear legs similar to Miles' set up, it's early days yet but I hope to get a design to the LAA early next year and hopefully John will do some stress work on it (when I can contact him). So watch this space.
