Thanks for these measurements - the builder manual gives a choice of bearings but
one of them leads to a metric sized bearing which is definitely wrong. The
sizes above are spot on, thank you

Over the past 40 years experience has shown that Koyo or Timken equally make the
best quality longest lasting bearings; worth the extra dollars...

Been arriving at the field each day this week at sparrows fart for circuit practice
and beginning to explore flight performance a bit deeper now that all post-purchase
safety and quality inspections are completed.... cold thick air until
08.00hrs all week.
Launched 181 into the 15C sky this morning and decided to see how good it can really
climb... 1600fpm at 80kt and 5000rpm constant from 80hp 912... bloody beast;
killer whale!! Bought the right machine...

This week I bonded into the stabs 2 BID tube's, they mechanically retain the TP5
& 6 sleeves although they are also reduxed as well.
Thx To Nigel Graham for his genius in developing this mod. The Europa factory
incorporated this idea in the NG stabs.
The BID cloth was wetted with redux on advise from Nev.
The stabs which previously fit just horrible ( I didn't build it ) now fit beautifully,
1/8" gaps top & bottom front to back.
I did make a mistake on the project though. I opened more of the the stab than
needed, more work to re-glass but it allowed me to put a flox fillet on both
sides of the rib. Oh...that's one more of my mistakes...I removed a part of the
rib flange,,,it can be put back though.
This seems to be air my dirty laundry week lol

Hi Pete,
I too was worried about epoxy sticking to the Torque tube, so I got some release
wax as insurance , applied it to the tube.
The Mod plans called for some paper between the sleeves ( so BID tube is in contact
only with sleeve's, not torque tube too ) then cellophane, Nev said spread
some Redux on the sleeves, & wet out the BID with Redux on polythene and apply
it on the tube, carefully removing polythene as required since you do 2 wraps
BID.
The plans don't call for Redux but Nev said when bonding to metal it's a better
choice, Aeropoxy can be just fine.
The plans available from Europa Club are well written.

Pete, or anyone interested,
I just remembered a detail of the BID tube construction, it was done in two wraps
of BID, first wrap wetted with Redux as Nev advised and he suggested the second
wrap of BID to be wetted with Aeropoxy.
The Europa Club approved Mod just has one do two to three wraps all in conventional
Epoxy.

Sounds like a good idea. I will plan on wetting with redux the first ply where
the bushings are. :)
Thx!

| Subject: | I think I found the leak! |
In 2018 while my Mono was waiting for me to get it airworthy, the fuel tank dumped
the very stale gas, and it smelled very bad btw.
The other day I think I found the leak, starboard side, rear wall of tank near
center hump.
One could seal it from the outside but maybe that is a non durable idea?
Thoughts anyone?
