Like G-ROOV we did not build our plane and are somewhat inexperienced in these matters. I just wonder if anyone is currently undertaking the mod 73 work could a few pictures be taken of the various stages and posted? This would really help us get a feel for the job. Thanks in advance.

If you arent experienced in glassfibre layups and in Europa construction 

methofs I would strongly suggest you find someone who has.



The required excavations are very close to a structural rib, which if 

damaged could seriously weaken the tailplane structure.



Anyone who has built a tailplane knows exactly where this is.



Its a very simple job if you know what you are doing. Im not sure pictures 

will make it any easier if you havent had previous experience - IMHO.



You dont say if you have experience in glass cloth construction. Is might be 

worth getting in touch with the Europa club secretary to see if any their 

members can help. If im not mistaken, Peter Kember is fairly close to you.

Thanks to Steve for the pics and Carl for the words of wisdom. Clearly that advice is very sound and for us non-builders expert help would be the best option. So bearing that in mind is there any body in the South East who might be able to give practical help? There are 3 (sometimes 4) Europa's at Rochester and, perhaps if there are other owners (such as G-ROOV), who wanted to get together and pool expertise/resources, with an expert on hand, one weekend the job could be done with minimal fuss and minimal cock ups. 

Any thoughts and/or help would be appreciated.

I'd like to add my voice as an non-builder owner in the South East (Sussex) who would welcome a group solution to getting through Mod 73 - 



I bought a small glider repair kit so I could have a practice with the materials before touching the plane and convincingly demonstrated to myself that I don't (yet) have the skill set required   



Rochester is within reach

It might be worth talking to Peter Kember or David Watts. They are based 

at Laddingford
