Hi again,
I have, thanks to Bob Hitchcock, now found the page and picture I refer to. The
assembly I refer to is on P 29M - 7 of the build manual. The item I refer to
which can be fitted the wrong way round is LG 05 ( shock absorber top plate).
Please chech this before you start filing anything.

H Pete,
I am afraid your description and photo do not tell me a great deal about your 
problem
BUT I would like you to check something that causes a restriction much
as you describe Ie leg not retracting or extending properly. I would use a 
manual
page to refer you to but I am unable to get onto the Europa Aircraft web site.
I know I am registered but they don't think I am.
There is one unit that can be fitted either one of two ways round. One is right
and the other will give you a problemm such as you describe. I now have a tri
gear so only have immediate access to a Tri Gear manual. Not too helpful when
you are talking Mono problems.

Hi Folks,

My kits  (circa-2001) frame seem to have an offset error on the swing-arm tube
centering tabs, making it not possible to drop the gear without interference.
Anyone else seen this error?  Looks like a fiddly fix to carefully grind down
one tab and adding to the other. 
 Picture is attached (if it gets through - also posted on the Europa Aircraft 
Owners
FB page)

Thoughts/experiences anyone?

Many thanks,
Pete
