Hi! Ira.
Why should you have it any easier than us chaps who had to retro-fit it
!!!!!!?
I will concur though that Messrs.Europa Aircraft Co.Ltd. don't give much
thought to builders and operators time  being a valuable comodity.
In sympathy

Hi All,

Just back from another build session on my XS trigear.
Forgive me but I simply have an irresistable urge to vent
my frustration.

It seems with the current plans that securing the tie bar with
the 5 bolts through the plates and W35 is needlessly frustrating and
difficult in the trgear with those landing leg ribs in place, even
though I had pretrimmed the shape of the rib going to that corner before
glassing it in. Getting the nuts on is more than a simple pain! Further,
the apex of W35 really should have been chamferred to avoid bubbles.  A
figure in the manual of the structure in situ would have help plan these
things in advance!

Flame off.

Cheers,

Ira
