Hi Builders and Owners,
At the Kemble FFF05 event Ian and Ivor inspected the ciol springs of my
bird. I sent them all info about the stainless steel coilsprings which were
calculated and tested by Nico Groot. He had to remove the first pair and
recalculated the specifications for the second set. The are fine.
I ordered 3 pairs of springs for Ian and Ivor and will fly them as soon as
possible (VFR weather) to Fairoaks (EGTF) where Ian will collect them.
I discovered I payed 200 euro's for 2 springs because I ordered only two
(one pair). Thats 100 euros per spring. But the 6 springs (3 pairs) for Ian
and Ivor are only 307 euro's. Thats 51,17 euro's per spring, allmost half
price!!
It's wise to wait untill Ian and Ivor receive PFA approval. Then collect all
names of interested Europa owners and order them in one shipment. Most of
the cost is the man who has to install the settings and set the machines,
there after it's just material.
Regards,
Tim Weert.
