Dear Europa Forum Members,

When I got my kit, the hole for the tailwheel spring on the sternpost was already drilled. The hole was drilled 1" above the inside skin, not outside.

How critical is this dimension, provided I can adjust to obtain the proper tailwheel height?

I would rather not enlarge the sternpost hole if possible unless the forum members tell me that doing so is not a big issue. I imagine the glassed wood with a thinner layer of Redux is a better bearing surface than a thick blob of Redux.

My other question is about the joggle at the port side of the sternpost. Seems to me that even if I trim the TE edge of the sternpost on that side forward to match the foam in the fin skin the joggle would still be a little forward over the skin (foam) and not allow a nice flat thin fit. How did you guys negotiate this challenge.

Thanks,

Chris
