Gert,
I also did the mod last year. Before doing it I asked Andy about the
possibilities of having to do it again and he told me that, so far as he
knew, no one has had to do it twice (although he could be proved
wrong!). Mine have not shown any sign of loosening again since I did
the mod.

Subject: Europa-List: Mod. 62 - Replacement of tailplane torque tube
drive pins
OK, I have now done the HYPERLINK
"http://www.europa-aircraft.biz/pdfs/modifications/Mod%252062.pdf"Europa
modification No 62!
Amen.
Easy to write, but believe me - a hard job.
I did the fix according to the factory recommendations, but actually I
feel that it's just a matter of time before the problem occurs again.
Think a better fix would have been to put AN5 bolts instead of the pins
and to mill a aluminum plug which could slide inside the TP4 torque tube
and give you the possibility to tighten the arrangement together.
I am interested in comments from folks who have done this mod. the
Europa way to hear from their experience.
