Hi Alan, If you look at the homepage of "Gallery", the organisation that hosts europaowners.org ( http://galleryproject.org/ ), you will see the following announcement. This may explain your lack of
Ira, I hope someone will "Record the Minutes" and distribute appropriate pictures to those of us not able to attend. ....oh, ... and don't worry if one or two of the servers should happen to appear i
Ah! yes, those stress observations ..... I remember them well. I haven't been to any of those meeting for a long time ......but I like to keep my hand in ;-) Nigel
Steve, FYI I have just received a reply from John Tempest at the LAA regarding my Callisto mod submission. Reproduced below is his (predictably conservative) response to the MAUW increase proposal. I

Jon, The Bing carburettors used on the 912/4 series engines were developed originally for the BMW R65 motorcycle (Mid '70's era) Overhaul kits for these can be obtained from vintage BMW motorcycle sp
Ken, Unfortunately it would appear to be true. It seems that following an in-flight failure of an Arplast propeller, two disgruntled pilots sued the company. After much too-ing and fro-ing the appeal
The "intent" of the procedure is to allow the steel insert to be assembled into the frame in a way that reduces the chance of moisture "wicking" into the gap and causing unseen corrosion in the futur
I just want to second David's comment (2) on scuff sanding. The wing mouldings are very thin and it's easy to inadvertently cut through the structural weave if you're over zealous. Use only 200 - 400
