Any one received mod 72 yet. My engine's hanging off, and I'm reamed and 

ready.

Ordered two weeks ago and nothing yet. I would be interested in whether or not they have shipped.

You will be waiting a while yet. The factory placed an order for 400 pairs a few weeks ago. To my knowledge no one in the UK has received parts yet.   

   

On the basis that the mod only has to be completed within 25 flying hours anyone with a flying aircraft may wish to delay preparation for the mod until they know the parts have been shipped.

Recieved an e-mail from Roger Bull this morning that expressed hope he could ship them in a week.  I asked him in a e-mail the specs on the inserts but recieved no reply on the matter.  Seems it would be simple to make your own with proper specs and a lathe. I'm down and ready too since I just completed annual inpection.  I wonder how long it will take once they leave the U.K.. Every pretty day gone by hurts a little more.

As soon as I button up and go flying they will arrive.  If I stay down and wait it will drag on past Sun-N-Fun.  Thats just the way my luck goes.

Interesting question Danny, I ordered the mod almost three weeks ago and

was told 10 days, I rang end of last week to be told 10-15 days, the

explanation being - because thats how long it takes !!! for a couple of

tubes ??.



I often wondered why people were looking to source components elsewhere, as

I believed we should support the new organisation, however with service

like this you have to wonder.



Hope this is the only problem we have with Europa.

Hello Nigel!

 Does anybody there know what the material and dimensions for the inserts should be? We just might be better off getting a few pieces machined locally (and quickly).

 Thanks!

I also ordered a few weeks ago. But Roger Bull may serve you first for my 

part. You are the kind of man who is even making his children himself 

without needing a woman if you can get the specs.

I'm ordering 3/4" 4130 tubing 3/16 wall and turning it down to 16.5 mm.  Length to suite the distance to just shy of the  through bolts going into the  fuselage.

While I do not mean to denigrate in any way the various approaches 

which have been suggested to deal w/ the structural deficiency which 

mod 72 is intended to correct, what comes up for me is an appreciation 

of the amount of work which Europa04 has done to ensure the integrity 

of the aircraft. I'm imagining the design calculations, the paperwork 

for the PFA, and testing and the real costs associated therewith. The 

costs of the hardware is negligible.



My concern is that I think the Europa design loses value if there is an 

awareness in the experimental/homebuilt aircraft community that the 

engine mounting frames were cracking and guys took it upon themselves 

to install one or another kind of a fix of their own design. it seems 

to me that it would be far more preferable for the story to be that 

there were some failures in the engine mount, the problem was addressed 

by E04, a fix was designed, tested, and approved, and every Europa 

flying has had the mod installed.



I feel it is a huge benefit to me that E04 exists and continues to 

service the design and kits sold by the predecessor company; I want to 

support them to remain in business, and I don't begrudge them the 15 

pounds for a couple of sleeves.



..just my 2 cents (or 15 pounds) worth of  opinion....

I would also like to put my 2 pence in , it strikes me that a lot of 

members/owner don't appreciate the work that Europa 04 does and waste an 

awful lot of time trying to reinvent the wheel so to speak! If you have any 

doubts regarding Mod 72  why not ring Roger at E04 he won't bit!
