Hi All,
I have the classic engine installation with the Rotax 912S.
Interesting specs, as my Airmaster Prop weighs in at 26lbs!!! except I 
kept the glass spinner which weighs 1 lb less than the metal one!
So that is within the specs as the cracks are not there!! Already 
checked it long ago when the fault was first observed .
Will do it anyway, in time.
My 1 lbs worth.
Cheers,
Tim

  All Europas except those with the classic engine installation

  (radiators each side of the spinner) with the Rotax 912 or 912S

  engine and Warp Drive ground adjustable propeller or other

  propeller weighing less than 25lb (912S engine) or 28lb (912

  engine) and no cracks found in the landing gear frame, or those

  with landing gear frames supplied by Europa after January 2007.


  Straight from the Mod leaflet.

  regards,

  MP

    If its a mandatory mod, why havent Europa written to us and why 
havent we been sent the requisite parts. BTW are we talking about monos 
or trigears or both???

    We had enough of this aggro when we were building the aircraft - 
about 60 or so mods from memory (yes, we were one of the early ones 
(no49!!!).

    Now not so happy G-LABS.

it Geoff,

        Just checked on Europa's website and discovered yet another 
mandatory mod.
        This is Mod No. 72 and involves nearly all aircraft and involves 
a check of the landing frame for cracks before next flight and then 
fitting sleeves to the frame before next permit renewal or 25 hours. 
This operation needs the engine to be removed.
