Re the turn and slip indicator, the fix is relatively simple provided
you can access the back of the instrument panel and reposition the
instrument.
The original Europa panels didnt have a removable front and are nigh on
impossible to get at without removing the entire instrument panel - a
nightmare of a job.
Its a good idea to ensure the panel mounting screw holes for the T&S are
elongated so that the instrument can be rotated within the main panel.
That way the ball can be centered without too much fuss.
We lined our instrument panel squarely (or so we thought) within the
cockpit but it was clear once we started flying that the panel didnt
line up with the wings.

One useful thing about learning to fly in giders, was the constant
yelling from the back seat;
Keep the speed up
Keep the string straight.
I still miss the yaw string, the cheapest and most useful instrument
made.
I'm indebted to Carl for his comments on the ball. In what feels like
straight and level flight, mine sits a bit to the left.
My feeling was that the instrument was wrong, or that the view from
the left seat was distorting my perspective, or that I'd just lost the
touch for what is straight and level.
Also to Mike for comments regarding the ailerons, mine are level on
the ground, but seem to adopt a slight droop in cruise.
Some things to look at and fix on C-FBZI
