dmac7 - thanks for your kind words about the TP5/TP6 mod promoted through the
Europa
Club. The late Nigel Graham wrote the original description and when I embodied
it in my own build I did some minor editing and added photos to turn it
into a document acceptable to LAA Engineering. Im pleased to know that it is
still of use.
I was in correspondence with LAA Engineering earlier this year after noticing
some
out-of-date stuff on the original document. My suggestion to amend it and
submit a new version was accepted, but so far the new PDF I sent in has not made
its way to the LAA website. I am happy to send the April 2022 Issue 2 PDF to
anyone who would like to have it. I suppose it could go up on the Club website
too . . . .
in friendship
