Hello,
My tech counselor looked at my progress today and as usual
commented on what a fine kit the Europa is.
However, he does have an issue with not using castle nuts and cotter pins
on bolts that are holding rotating parts together. The aircraft maintenance
manual does say that cotter keys should be used on all rotating parts. This
includes
all the controls in the cockpit module, the wings, flap pivot points and others
I
haven't found yet. So, I am in the process of getting new bolts, nuts and
cotter
pins.
Has anyone else run into this problem?
The Europa is not the only kit with this problem, he was the TC on a Kitfox
and it had the same lack of proper hardware.
I am sure there are others.
