Re: Europa-List: Outrigger Pivot Bearing Mod

Hi Bob,
Did you read the mail of Steve Vestuti? The clonking sit not in the 
tail. That's another story of pro and contra taper pins. There I found a 
little play on starboard side. Not enough to postpone my first flight. 
The winter is long and will bring solutions for every problem. And see, 
I know of your particular solution. Maybe after consulting the forum the 
verdict will be easy....or not?

  Hi! Karel

  Have you checked it isn't the stabilator drive bushes causing 
differential slop which you can feel down the stick?

  The bushes at the bottom of the stick were tufnol and factory 
produced. Some became tight on fixing of the cockpit module as indeed 
mine did and needed freeing off with "brasso" so I'd be very surprised 
if you have wear there?  Could be a loose or collapsed connector? Needs 
identifying before flight.

  I have no clonks or likes anywhere in my control chain at 600 hours.
