The laid up ply and steel plate on mine appear to have been crushed ever so slightly but enough for me want to fix immediately. Can't feel any movement but when i grab the spring and apply lateral pressure it creaks, indicating some movement even if i can't feel it. I read somewhere about a reinforcement fix but can't find the mod on the LAA or Europa club site. Any help appreciated.

It is pretty easy to put a heat shield on it, on the side facing the wing fabric and problem solved. We did this on both the FSII and the Firefly and it worked OK.

They suggested the same as you did. Heat shield. I may try to modify the mounts to raise the muffler some and go with a heat shield.

From: "Charlie Mike" My slingshot has the aileron balance tubes in place. I have the weights that go inside to neutralize control. There are no holes in either to secure the weights. The drawings show a bolt thru set up. . Are you using these? And if so, how are the weights secured in the tubes? Thanks -------- Kolb Slingshot 582, C gearbox.
