Cable/module interference will happen. Pain in the butt. Some of the aircraft had a partially hanging brake caliper. (Don't know if it was miss-drilled or what. Only way to clean it up was a small fairing attached to the arm and fuselage to clean it up. I never liked the fairing from a maintenance and time to fabricate standpoint. Kim Prout did one of the first ones.

Does anyone know if repositioning the brake caliper 180 degree to the upper position on a mono interfere with the rudder cables when the main gear is in retracted position?

In my experience that was a feature of SU carbs, not Bing. Or am I missing something?

From: "Griffo" Yep! 912 ULS not fitted to a Europa. 2 blade Fiti ground adjustable prop. Anal about static balance. Then got a dynamic balance done - some improvement Then fitted a BM, just in case I got a chip out of blade (changing balance) - no noticeable difference - so far no chip/change of balance to test idea. Probably black magic. -------- 46 Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=504972#504972 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Other Matronics Email List Services ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Post A New Message europa-list@matronics.com UN/SUBSCRIBE http://www.matronics.com/subscription List FAQ http://www.matronics.com/FAQ/Europa-List.htm Web Forum Interface To Lists http://forums.matronics.com Matronics List Wiki http://wiki.matronics.com Full Archive Search Engine http://www.matronics.com/search 7-Day List Browse http://www.matronics.com/browse/europa-list Browse Digests http://www.matronics.com/digest/europa-list Browse Other Lists http://www.matronics.com/browse Live Online Chat! http://www.matronics.com/chat Archive Downloading http://www.matronics.com/archives Photo Share http://www.matronics.com/photoshare Other Email Lists http://www.matronics.com/emaillists Contributions http://www.matronics.com/contribution ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- These Email List Services are sponsored solely by Matronics and through the generous Contributions of its members.
