OK I know it is not going to be complete and maybe those who do have
problems may not want it known. It is a start however and it already
gives me a little more confidence knowing that all those who have
responded so far have had no problems with disbonding etc.
As I said, if anyone has a better idea or someone from the EC wants to
take it on, please do so.

Subject: Re: Europa-List: TP6 Bonding Survey
I dont want to knock anybodys worthy efforts in compiling a list of Mod
73'ers but I agree whole heartedly that this job would be better handled
by the Europa club committee.
My pesonal view (which I have stated before) is that inspectors should
be required report irregularities/ problems as a matter of routine to
either the PFA or the aircraft manfacturer so that results can be
collated and potential accidents pre-empted. Unfortunately this isnt
going to happen.
I agree that confidentiality is a big issue and those of us who find
irregularities may choose not add their details to the list. This will
create the impression that everything in the garden is rosy when it may
in fact not be.
Another complication is that some of us (me included) may choose to fly
off the 10 hours allowed before undertaking the work so it may be some
time before a complete list is compiled.
Finally many Europa owners are not membersof this forum so will be
excluded from the survey.
The only way to produce a meaningful survey would be for the factory to
require all Europa owners to participate in the survey which would be
collated by either themselves or the PFA. The advantage of channeling
this exercise through the Europa club (assuming they would accept the
task) is that individual annonymity could be guaranteed and only the
figures need be reported back to the authorities.
I am totally in favour with your proposal Bryan but I will be happy to
add my details to the current list if the EC arent able step into the
breach.
