Thanks to all who made the effort to investigate this. There was no
reason to suppose that the factory got their sums wrong but the
temptation to add an additional pair of braces was very high,
particularly given the wires were in place and to replace them in situe
would be near impossible!
Regards
Pete

Subject: Europa-List: Mod 70 Club view
Some of you may be interested in the Club's view of Mod70. You can find
this
at:
http://www.europaclub.org.uk/ in the 'News' pages.
I realise it may not be what you wanted to hear, but in view of the
seven complaints I received, plus a small number relayed through the
Committee and noted on the list, we have certainly put some time into
it, and I believe the Mod does the job in replacing what it does.
It has been interesting to note a couple of comments on the list in
favour of the Mod, and for us UK owners, I think we are lucky not to be
in the position of those Shadow Microlight owners, who were grounded for
months due to undercarriage problems and no one to support them. At
least we have a Factory to support our plane.
If anyone wishes to pursue this further, and perhaps requires a PFA
mod number for the fitting of turnbuckles, then you can use mine: <<
G-BXUM, kit67, PFA 247-12611, 'Additional cable Turnbuckles', Mod:
M10028, dated April 1997: Turnbuckles in both TP18 cables, Bolted at the
front onto the lugs with castle nuts and split pins.

If this is you configuration then feel free to use it as a reference.
All the best,
dave
