I have (rather foolishly it seems) bonded the CS10C caps into the
ends of the CS10 pitch torque tube without measuring the depth of the
CS10C flanges. Now that I come to add the rivets, nowhere on the
diagrams or text can I find reference to how far fom the end of CS10
the rivet holes should be drilled. I have a mental picture of the
CS10C flange, but I don't feel comfortable drilling holes based on
that! There's not a lot of leeway between (a) having the hole too
close to the front face of CS10C so the rivet will be obstructed by
it and won't set properly and (b) having it too far away and breaking
out of the edge of the flange.

Anyone got a CS01C not yet inserted that they can measure and let me
have the depth of the flange, please?

regards

Rowland

Hi! Rowland
Can't help with your request for dimensions but I'm concerned that you
have the modified end caps. I recall that there was a mod involved since
the centre boss was fatiguing somehow.
Please check it out.
Regards
Bob Harrison G-PTAG

Hi Rowland,

I'm not far behind you on my (re)build.

The depth of the flange on my CS10C is 12.5mm.

I'm not sure what the mod is that Bob is talking about although the manual and the packet that my parts came in refers to CS10C / 2 which I would guess is a revision of that part. Would be worth checking with Europa on that one.

Regards,

Phil

Bob - thanks for your concern. Yes, I do have the modified caps. In
fact, looking at the illustration in the factory newsletter #26 (June
2000) p12 showing old and new, I wouldn't have needed to post this
question if I'd had the old caps as the flange appears to be visible
from outside on the original design.

If no-one can help here with the necessary dimension I'll call the
factory and get them to measure a CS10C, and tell them to amend the
manual.

regards

Rowland

Phil - thanks, I really appreciate your help! That will let me get on
with it today instead of waiting until Monday - I wasn't sure if the
non-technical people on duty at the factory today would be able to
find the right part.

[What I'm really waiting for, of course, is for the rain to stop long
enough so I can get the wings out of the trailer and do the stuff in
manual chapter 14 with the spar sockets and bushes on the cockpit
module out on the lawn. Theoretically I'd have room in the garage -
33' long - but surprisingly there is other stuff in there!]

Yes, mine were also CS10C/2; see my reply to Bob for more.

Hi Rowland,

Ah, yes, I can see the mod now and my end caps are correct. Phew.

No problem with the dimension - I'm 'working from home' today !
