Roger
Having answered my own question re lead times by properly reading your
original email another question; is there any reason why Mod 74 could
not be
done straight away and then at a latter date the remaining work to fully
implement Mod 52 be completed. My concern would be that having
installed
the new wing pin for the existing fuselage sockets, will that then work
with
the new sockets required by Mod 52? Obviously if the adjustment of the
new
wing pin is required to subsequently implement Mod 52 then doing Mod 74
first would be a non starter.
Regards
Pete

I think I should point out that Mod 74 does not call for Mod 52 to be
incorporated if not already done so; the requirement is to fit a tie bar
to
the existing rear wing pin sockets, the tie bar being part of Mod 52 as
well. Builders can of course fit Mod 52 in its entirety, which, plus
the
new pin arangement in the wing, will satisfy Mod 74.
We at Europa were unaware until earlier this week that the tie bar would
be
required, so it has been a rush to get the parts as soon as possible.
If
builders want to incorporate Mod 52 in its entirety the lead time will
be
longer, proably about 3 weeks, as it will be necessary to get extra
supplies
of the 3 part wing socket included in that Mod.
Getting out the Mod leaflet, sorting out the logistics, etc. has been a
bit
of a nightmare, so I would be extremely grateful if Richard Holder would
come and take over the company - he would undoubtedly be able to offer
a
better and cheaper service, and then John and I would be able to retire
on
our (non-existent) ill gotten gains!
Regards,
Roger

Europhiles everywhere - Francis Donaldson has asked me to advise you all
that Europa Mod 74 is now on the Europa 2004 Ltd website, under
Technical
and then Modifications. There is a very strict time limit - within 10
hours
---From 1 August 2007. Mod 74 affects classic aircraft with foam-filled
wings;
those classic aircraft that do not already have Mod 52 (the weight
increase
mod) will be required to fit Mod 52 as part of Mod 74.
As it is Friday evening here, I cannot check with Roger Bull to find out
what the lead time is going to be for the parts; but I am copying this
to
him, and hope that, in order to save every one of us ringing him, he
will
put a short statement on this forum to advise likely delivery
availability.
I will also be forwarding to the forum, within a few minutes, a copy of
an
e-mail written by Francis to Ted Gladstone setting out the PFA's view of
the
accident sequence; this is not a definitive account - that can only be
issued by UK AAIB. However, Francis's e-mail does give the reasoning
behind
the decisions to issue the MPD's and now the Mods.
