This appears to be related to an expansion issue between the outer fuselag
e and the interior cobra used for fueling. I would look at the bonding on t
he inside between the cobra and the fuselage to see if there might have bee
n a difference in the expansion rate or amount that could have caused this
buckling.=C2-If there is a blob of adhesive or other bonding material dir
ectly behind the buckling, you might think about removing this material, sl
owly rewarming the fuselage from the inside, and having a smooth contouring
backing against the outside at the buckling point to see if you could pres
s the warmed fiberglass back into it's original shape.I do not believe it's
a structural issue that would cease any flying.=C2-But that is MY 2 cent
s and it's only worth the paper it's written on.

Hello to everybody
Would be great if someone could help me with my issue:
I=C3=A2=82=AC=84=A2ve got some deforming on my Europa XS Monowheel of
the glass fiber at 4 positions on my fuselage, due to an inappropriate cov
er which got to hot from the sunshine. I guess it tempered the glass fiber.
The positions are on both sides directly behind the doors and on top betwe
en the doors next to the fixations of the doors. Attached are two pictures
of the biggest deformation.
So my question is, whether this is an structural damage which I should repa
ir or its still good to fly?
In case it=C3=A2=82=AC=84=A2s a damage, how should I repair this?
With which temperature was the glass fiber pre-tempered?
Does someone has a datasheet of this glass fiber?
Many thanks for your help
Best regards,
Marcel
