Ian,
I have all the detail on this. I have built 4 MGs and even a Classic
MG.
Please note that it is fitting process and quite easy but requires (like
all airplane building) to rig the wings and derig to get it right.
Contact me off line and we will supply you with the appropriate info,
tips and tricks.
Regards

Subject: Europa-List: Glider Wing Build
<g-iani@ntlworld.com<mailto:g-iani@ntlworld.com>>
This is an appeal for information from glider wing builders.
Steve Leisch (Kit A208) has realised that there are 2 Tufnol bearings
part
number GAB03 that are not referenced in any of the build documents.
I have checked with Karen at Europa and can confirm that GAB03s are
diamond
shaped Tufnol blocks with a hole in the middle (which is large enough
for
the airbrake push rod to pass through). Talking to Nev, I believe
they are
fixed on the root rib to act as an inboard bearing for the airbrake
pushrod. The end of the pushrod enters the cabin and is attaches to
the
cables as per Fig 11 on Page 28a
In the Glider manual, section 8-13 refers to cutting the air brake
push rods
(roughly) to length and fitting the bell crank end. There is no
detail for
cutting the holes through the ribs forward of the spar, finalising the
length, attaching the inboard end fitting on the pushrod or the final
connection to the cables.
As no one at Europa has any further information I will try and collect
as
much as I can. I would be pleased to have
have any notes, pictures or drawings you may have.
When I have got this together I am happy to produce a Build manual
supplement covering this area.
