Roger, I am willing to stand corrected but my understanding is that the balancing should be done with the torque tube "in situ" and with the rest of the control system connected. The control system f

One thing that has been puzzling me over the last couple of days is why Mod 73 should require longer pip pins than those originally supplied - 1.75" My aircraft hasnt undergone the mod as yet and at

Richard That explains things and I can see why you wouldnt want to remove any layers of bid fron the upper recess. The standard design dosent seem to have much contact area at the base Is there any r

I dont want to knock anybodys worthy efforts in compiling a list of Mod 73'ers but I agree whole heartedly that this job would be better handled by the Europa club committee. My pesonal view (which I

I have seen the work on the only Europa which has undergone Mod 74 courtesy Andy Draper. We asked the same question and the feeling is there isnt enough room to get a spanner around the securing nut

I wont deny that Europa spares are expensive but they are cheap by commercial aviation standards. Just remember someone has to pay the wages of the Europa team at Kirkbymoorside. Without them it woul

Hi Tim, I had the same thought - the answer is almost certainly NO ! Theres a lot more work/ parts involved in Mod 52 - unfortunately. I think its probably better to do Mod 52 if possible first. We a

Thanks Rowland - You have left us in no doubt that you know your stuff - and have put it over in a manner that most of us can understand. My comments were based on my experience of aviation headsets

Richard, While I cant fault your reasoning on this matter all I would say is that you are missing the point. Europa aircraft provides a service, not just bundled components sourced --From RS or elsew
