One of our members has applied for his PFA permit to test on an aircraft

he purchased half built.  Francis has turned this down as he has not

confirmed that his early aircraft has been fitted with:-



MOD 6 Tailplane rib/t.e. close-out bracket All aircraft

MOD 12 Rudder pedal stiffening All aircraft

MOD 14 Fuel tank spacers All aircraft

MOD 15 Forward lift pin/fuselage stiffening All aircraft

MOD 17 Rudder pedal guides All aircraft

MOD 18 Pitot positioning All aircraft



On later aircraft the instructions are included in the build manual but

I cannot identify what each the mod was.



As these mods are no longer listed on the Europa(2004) site (or

SteveD's) it is proving very difficult to get copies of them to find out

exactly what they are.  I think I know what Mods 12, 14 and 15 are but I

may be wrong.



Does anyone have copies they could let us have or at least a detailed

description to confirm what it is?

Hi Ian,

 From memory.....

 Mod 6, Bid bracket between tailplane outboard rib and closeout, in current  Manual.

 Mod 12, Steel tubes Reduxed inside rudder pedal tubes, in current  Manual.

 Mod 14,  1/2'' ply / Bid ''tee'' / alloy angle spacer between rear  face of seatback and forward face of tank, in current Manual.

 Mod16, 1/4'' foam / Bid '' top hat stiffener'', vertically from thigh  support to door sill, in current Manual.

 Mod 17, ? Might be the Tufnel blocks at the forward end of the tunnel, to  keep the rudder cable away from the Undercarriage Frame, in current  Manual.

 Mod 18, move the Pitot from next to the aileron belcrank inspection panel,  further aft and outboard [ to the position of the XS wing ] along with the  Static.

 All these Mods will be visible, even on a completed airframe, have the  owner contact me, I can put his Inspector right.

 Cheers,

 Nev.
