Dear forum members,



Does anyone know of what torques to use on the brake components at the wheel. At least in the Cleveland units used in the certified world the torque of the two bolts that hold the brake pad back plate is very important.



For now I just made it nice'n tight.

Page 370 in the combined builders manual is your friend and list the torques you’re need.

Thanks Alan and Remi,



80-90 in*lbs is in line with what I use in the Clevelands (75-80, at one point they changed it a little).



Alan, what do you mean by page 370 of the combined builders manual. My big paper manual is divided in sections so a little hard to find page 370. I looked around the manual (its been a while I looked at it in its entirety) and can't find a list of torques.



Best Regards,

Chris

Oh, just wanted to post a picture of my Europa doing taxi test last weekend. Very exciting moment to be able to finally put all the parts together, see it as complete airplane and take it around the neighborhood for a spin. As you can see a lot of things are still being held by Clecoes.



Still lots to do to complete (pretty much all control surfaces and wings need filling and lots of little things here and there but it is a complete machine right now.



Special thanks go out to the this group, the Europa Club and in particular Bud Yerly for all the help and support during this arduous process. I'll post something when the airplane finally flies which I expect around the beginning of next year.



Now all I need to do is find a way to put the wings on that doesn't take an hours (how in the world Europa claimed the setup would take less than 5 minutes dunno) Maybe with practice

Chris I have a pdf copy of the builders manual, Combined Builders Manual, I downloaded from the Europa Website.



It contains all the build info for mono and tri-gear builds. I found the torque settings in there, page 370. Or section CBM 29T.

OK got it Alan. The tri gear manual does seem to have a little more info on torques for some of the landing gear components. Not so much for the mono but Remi provided a torque and I'll go with that. Thanks
