I've been reading the Europa build manual, on to my 20th time now I think, and although very good, I find it wordy and not conducive to tracking the progress of work. I was therefore considering producing a Master Task List for each chapter as this would make is far easier to use the kitlog prgramme I've bought to track and report on build progress. Has anyone produced A MTL before that I could use as a starting point?

Thanks

Alan

Alan - this MTL idea is new to me, but sounds very sensible for both planning & logging - and I'd be interested to get access to it if it's ever created! The only thing I can think of as a springboard towards producing such a document is the LAA list of inspections. Here's a copy of that list:

1 Workroom conditions Check workroom for suitability and cleanliness. Check thermometer and hygrometer available. Check epoxy ratio balance for accuracy.
2 Education layup Check “Euro Chock” for quality of layup, correct ply orientation and flox corners for voids.
3 Rudder Check for lean or rich areas in layup, ply orientation, leading and trailing edges for straightness. Check close-out layup and reinforced areas for hinge attachment.
4 Tailplane Check outboard rib for correct layup and accuracy.
5 Tailplane Check skins for quality and ply orientation. Check inboard rib and rear spar for hinge area reinforcements. Check anti-servo tab for correct layup and hinge attachment, free movement without hinge binding. Check correct fitting to torque tube, inboard rib bushes and pip pin operation. Check that both tailplanes have the same incidence.
6 Ailerons Check top skin, bottom skin and close-outs for correct layup, cure and ply orientation and straightness of aileron.
7 Ailerons Check inboard rib and insert for position and push rod attachment pin for correct installation.
8 Ailerons Check correct hinge attachment, position and safety.
9 Ailerons Check mass balance weight for correct attachment.
10 Flaps Check top and bottom skins for correct layup, ply orientation and quality.
11 Flaps Check end ribs for correct layup and insert position accuracy.
12 Flaps Check aileron and flap close-outs for correct layup and ply orientation.
13 Wing Inspection stage 1 “Working conditions” must have been satisfied prior to start of wing build. Check all layups for full cure using scratch and tap test if in doubt. Ply orientation +/- 10 degrees, wet or dry areas, all joints for correct layup procedure and general cleanliness.
14 Wing Check aileron bellcrank attachment to spar, and inspection hole. Check bellcrank assembly for correct assembly and riveting.
15 Wing Inspect spar to upper and lower skins layups for quality and ply orientation, also root rib, diagonal rib, and walkway rib to skin layups for quality and ply orientation.
16 Wing Inspect outrigger double rib to skin layup for quality and ply orientation, also correct installation of 3mm plywood transverse rib and associated layups between double ribs.
17 Wing Check upper trailing edge skin bond to main wing structure and alignment with leading edge.
18 Wing Check position of inserts and orientation of 12mm stainless root pins.
19 Wing Check hinge arm alignment using templates on outboard and inboard sighting centre as per plans. With ailerons and flaps attached check for smooth operation, interference, travel and outrigger retract and extension mechanism.
20 Fuselage Inspection stage 1 “Workroom conditions” must have been satisfied prior to start of fuselage build. Check all layups for full cure using scratch and tap test if in doubt. Check ply orientation +/- 10 degrees, wet or dry areas, all joints for correct layup procedure and general cleanliness. Check all parts for quality before assembly.
21 Fuselage Check installation of rear bulkhead.
22 Fuselage Check installation and alignment of tailplane torque tube bushes and tailplane.
23 Fuselage Prior to installation of completed cockpit module into bottom of fuselage, check fitment and operation of flying controls (with wings attached).
24 Fuselage Check final installation of cockpit module into fuselage.
25 Fuselage Check installation and operation of fuel system.
26 Fuselage Check installation of main and tailwheel undercarriage.
27 Fuselage Check installation and operation of electrical system.
28 Fuselage Check installation and operation of panel and instruments.
29 Fuselage Final check of completed fuselage including doors and all hardware.
30 Fuselage Check installation of engine including all systems, propeller and cowlings. Record fuel flow checks in build book.
31 Structure - general Check structure after filling and sanding for excessive sanding which may compromise the integrity of the structure.
32 Final inspection Final check of complete aircraft including rigging and control movements, correct operation of all systems, proper cockpit and panel placarding, cockpit furnishings including harness installation, external markings including registration. Weigh aircraft and forward results and weight schedule to PFA.

The tab characters that separate item number, functional area, and description may not survive the e-mail transmission process. If you want a clean copy please ask for an attachment.

in friendship
