Still some work to do but happy so far.]]> Alan Hunter photo Sat, 12 Sep 2015 20:27:05 +0000 <![CDATA[DSC00228]]> http://europaowners.org/gallery2/v/Europa+630/MOD+77/DSC00228.JPG.html http://europaowners.org/gallery2/v/Europa+630/MOD+77/DSC00228.JPG.html

Had to remove more of the rudder than I wanted so build up rudder trailing edge by attaching peel ply to the outside of the rudder and build up trailing edge using flox around the edge and an initial 2 ply of bid. i'll apply an additional 2 ply after the initial 2 ply has cured to prevent sagging.]]> Alan Hunter photo Sat, 12 Sep 2015 20:27:04 +0000 <![CDATA[DSC00215]]> http://europaowners.org/gallery2/v/Europa+630/MOD+77/DSC00215.JPG.html http://europaowners.org/gallery2/v/Europa+630/MOD+77/DSC00215.JPG.html

Trial fit of the push rod bracket! Doesn't look good. This is going to take some thought.]]> Alan Hunter photo Thu, 03 Sep 2015 21:28:40 +0000 <![CDATA[DSC00163]]> http://europaowners.org/gallery2/v/Europa+630/MOD+77/DSC00163.JPG.html http://europaowners.org/gallery2/v/Europa+630/MOD+77/DSC00163.JPG.html

Rudder opened up to accept the push rod bracket. Alas no blue foam as it is the NG model. No instructions on how to proceed. Advice from Europa is to bod in some blue foam is it is not load bearing and is just a bed for the composite.]]> Alan Hunter photo Thu, 03 Sep 2015 21:28:39 +0000 <![CDATA[DSC00160]]> http://europaowners.org/gallery2/v/Europa+630/MOD+77/DSC00160.JPG.html http://europaowners.org/gallery2/v/Europa+630/MOD+77/DSC00160.JPG.html

Next problem. Once the push rod end was fitted and drilled according to the manual the rivets provided were too short to go through the whole structure. Awaiting a response from Europa]]> Alan Hunter photo Thu, 03 Sep 2015 21:28:39 +0000
