 |

<?xml:namespace prefix="v" /><?xml:namespace prefix="o" /><![endif]-->
To all Motor Glider Owners,
Europa Aircraft has published Mod 78 and SBs 17 and 18 affecting the motor glider wings and attachments. The modifications have been accomplished a number of times at the Europa Center and we believe that the modifications to the spar are possible for the amateur builder. The Mod 78, Service Bulletins 17 and 18 and original BOM is attached so you can see what is in the kit and the instructions.
Mod 78 and Service Bulletins 17 and 18 are now published on the www.europa-aircraft.com website if you have difficulty down loading from this message. The prices for the modification and options is listed below, and as of my last look, the prices are not yet posted in the Modifications section of the Europa website. Glue availability in the small quantities that were required for this mod and the huge shipping costs of hazardous materials from the UK has been the reason for this delay until now. We have a Gurit supplier now established here in the United States for Ampreg 21 which can supply in the smaller quantities necessary. For your information the manufacturer of the required Ampreg 21 normally supplies in large volumes as this is a common marine industry resin used in high performance racing boats and large fabrication facilities using autoclave technology and therefore it is not stocked in smaller quantities. Listed below is the price for the modification parts and glue supplies:
Kit Price:
Option 1 - Parts & Tooling : GBP £869.14 Or about $1480 US
Option 2 - Parts, Tooling & Resin Kit : GBP £1163.74 or $1980 US. Shipping and Hazardous not included from the UK. See below for US glue option.
Option 3 - Additional 2 off Wing Forward Pins (W25M78) for XS wings : GBP £96.74 or about $165 US (These pins are required for those with both sets of wings.)
Note the resin kit is an extra 294 British Pounds or $500 US rather than the $255 below and does not include the substantial shipping and hazardous fees.
Expect at least 4-6 weeks for the shipping of your kit depending on volume.
For US customers, listed below is the Ampreg 21 dealer quote which is now a couple of weeks old but indicative of the size and savings. This price does not include shipping or handling fees to Custom Flight Creations which are normally very small in bulk orders of 6 or more.
Stock Name Price Delivery Time
F121-034
AMPREG21 RESIN 10KG
ea.
$ 155.16
10 weeks
F121-036
AMPREG21 HARD STD 3.33KG
ea.
$ 100.199
10 weeks
Note the delivery times. If shipped by Custom Flight Creations from Florida to US addresses, we can ship USPS ground and forgo the hazardous fee rather than UPS which is an extra $65 minimum hazardous fee plus the shipping. USPS ground shipping will probably be about $30 US.
Please indicate your order at the earliest at the addresses below or to Europa via phone. We will then assemble the kits and begin shipping.
There are suggested proposals to the wing spar cup elimination to improve rigging ease and these will follow through the tech talk section of the website. Hopefully additional photo's will be included later for techniques on the modification.
For those not able to accomplish this modification or have concerns on their ability to successfully accomplish this modification, Custom Flight Creations is ramping up equipment and space to accomplish the modification and will be ready in about 14 days to begin.
Best Regards,
Alan K. “Bud” Yerly
