Re: Europa-List: Tail plane questions

For what it's worth my tailplane has one side higher than the other and it flies fine.

The stab arm is sort of cushioned at the bottom.   I put a stop on the top of the ply containment thing to stop the weight hitting the fuselage top.

The plastic rings look like hdpe but i don't know for sure.

Hello all, in the absence of the factory for parts, a kit that has been waiting to be finished for a few decades and now is in progress again, the stabilator axis has been found to have one end about 8mm higher than the other.
If the plastic bush needs replacing after the removal, can anyone help with material spec and dimensions to make up a new one?

Also, the modification to strengthen the counterweight installation was deemed necessary due to a bent arm, I gather.
Has it been considered if cushioning of the mass before end of travel could achieve what the beefing up of the arm sought to do?

Best regards,
Alex Kaarsberg, kit 529
