Further to this - used parts in good condition would be fine too. Anyone got a used but unwanted tail spring and tailwheel fork in good condition?

Has anyone had corrosion on their tri-gear main legs? If so, how much is too much?
If there was some pitting after the corrosion was cleaned off, could this be ground away or would the leg be scra ...

A quick question for tri-gear owners.

Do you lower your flaps by holding your finger down on the flap switch until the motor drives the flaps to the correct setting?

Or

Do you have a clever ...

Thanks for all of your comments on this - it's really useful.

Hi,

I'm looking for all the parts to make a complete XS tailwheel assembly.
I ideally want new, unused parts - does anyone have any bits lying around that they'd like to sell?

Thanks,

Phil

A bit of a random question.

I have a noseleg assembly - NG01 (see the rear part of this in the attached image). Should I be able to disassemble this by sliding the sub assembly off the main tube or ...

You trimmed the bottom of the page off John.

Here is the full page, I've been looking at it recently and the bottom image is relevant too.

Hi,
I'm soon going to make a wing holder or cradle to hold the wings upright during the kit build. Before I do, there isn't anyone with a set that they no longer need is there?
Thanks,
Phil

Thanks for all the responses and it looks like I need to post cure the control surfaces then!

I'm still a little confused. There are other layups on the Europa - in the wings and in the fuselage ...

Ah!
So does it mean that the 'Tg' is essentially room temperature unless you post cure it and raise it to a higher figure?

Does that also mean that unused control surfaces that are 19 years old sh ...

Tony, just out of interest, when were the control surfaces laid up?

I remember having a conversation with Andy Draper about this and I've just read the Gurit 'Guide to Composites'. As I understand ...

Thanks for the picture Bill - yes a 7.5T truck seems to work very well. It's an option if we can't find a dedicated trailer.

Does anyone in the midlands / south east of the UK have a Europa trailer (mono / tri, open / closed) that they could help move a Europa kit with? It needs to move from St Albans to Huntingdon. When ...

Hello everyone,

After a few years playing with another type of 'Euro' aircraft, I'm now helping someone with their Tri-Gear kit.
I'm doing an inventory and of course have got a load of out of date ...

Well spotted Richard. Definitely worth talking to Duc about the possibility though.

I've been running a Duc Windspoon on another aircraft and am very happy with it and don't know of any problems w ...

Graeme,

If I was in your situation I'd be looking at this new prop from Duc. Looks like they've thought about the design and have done a fair bit of computer analysis on it. It claims to have a ' ...

I recognise those wing stands Simon.
Yes, they are functional but I think Clive's are far more elegant.
Hope your build is going well Smile

There’s a service bulletin telling you to replace waterless coolant (Evans) with a glycol/water mix.

You spotted my deliberate mistake Wink
