Fellow Europaphiles,
The Mod 72 topic has become too quiet. I've decided to give it a poke and see
if I can wake it up again.
I have all the various bits for Mod 72 on order. Etching primer, ACF-50, 16.5
mm hand reamer & Mod 72 kit.
I am wondering why the heavy wall tubing is not bonded in place with something
like Redux.
Is the press fit good enough to support the frame?
Would it be better to Redux the insert in place? Better support and corrosion
protection?
If not, why not?
Good building and great flying,
Bob Borger
Standing by, wearing my nomex undies, ready for the flames.
P.S.
The reamer will be available for loan to any Europa builder in the U.S. or
Canada
who needs it for Mod 72.
