Any idea as to why this "mandatory" modification is not classified as a Service Bulletin. 

(In the US, it is SB which are rated as Airworthiness Directives) 

It was not on the web site last week when I completed my Annual

Greetings all,

  

  Reading through SB72 it says that engine installations OTR (other than  Rotax) should contact Europa directly for a solution to SB72.

  



 Anyone know off hand who the new technical contact is at Europa? Their  website sill shows Andy's e-mail, but I seem to recall he's left the company for  greener pastures.

Hi Folks,

 

 I would be interested into any facts regarding the single failure that seems to have occurred after all these years and thousands of fleet hours. Number of hours, number of landings, heavy landing history, operation from grass, etc.

 

 Like the tailplane drive pin mod (caused by one failure) I will no doubt carry out this mod as it is factory recommended/mandatory in the UK even though it seems at first to be a knee-jerk reaction to what may be a unique incident.

 

 Regards,

Yes, I completely agree with Martin's sentiment. Aircraft should not designed like tractors and are therefore always susceptible to abusive treatment. There comes a point where you have to point a finger at the pilot for breaking his aircraft, not at the aircraft for not being bombproof.

By the way how does the internal sleeve (that’s a contradiction I know) stay there.  Does it get reduxed in?

For once im glad we have an OLD aircraft with the simple ground  adjustable prop.

  

 I suspect prop balance comes into the equation as well. We decided to get  the prop checked for balance last year (first time ever). Spent 2 hrs adding and  removing washers but ended exactly with the same setup we started off with  (ie: no extra washers). So I guess the prop has been in balance all this  time.

  

 Were carrying out the annual/100hr engine service tomorrow so will check  and see if theres anything to worry about.

Hi All, 

 

Where is E04?  They actually did mention the new mod in the new Tech Bulletin (available on the website, as usual) 

I doubt they have all the EMail addresses of current owners in the company.  Recall that they also seem to have a  

policy against offical posting in the mail-list. Why, I don't know.

Fellow Europaphiles, 



I have placed an order with E04 for Mod 72.  John Wheeler replied that the Mod 72 parts should start shipping in about 3 weeks. 



For those of us in the U.S., I am trying to find a local source for a 16.5mm hand reamer.  If I can source one, I'll be glad to share it as needed. 



Good building and great flying, 

Bob Borger

 If he is not the one then he should pass it on appropriately.
