Maybe others have the same issues with the  outrigger mechanism on the Europa monowheel. 

  

 For retraction, the outrigger OR1 pivots around a  AN4-21 bolt, which pivots within FL9 bushes in the two W21 plates.   Thus, the entire pivot mechanism is on two small bushes, the FL9s.  Imagine  the bashing these things get, especially on rough runways, and also the sideways  dragging/pressure against them when you have to spin the Europa around to  backtrack a runway.  I am finding that I have to replace the FL9s every 300  landings or so, with the rough runways (murram, stones, coral) we have  here.  Is is not possible to beef everything up by reduxing a big AN970-4  washer onto the outer faces of the W21 plates, the AN4-21 goes through that as  well as the FL9s, so that the poor FL9s dont take all that  wear?

  

 Does anyone have any ideas on that, or any other  way to impart extra strength around the pivot holes in the W21  plates?

  

 best to all

Hi Richard,

  

 please read the message below.

 Maybe that is an answer to you.

 I will try it during next delay.

 I have about 250 landings so far and you are right - then  there is too much sideplay.

 Hi Jim



The Mod is on the Europa Club website.  It is Mod 10661  Version 2, May 2007.  Version 2 changes the pivot bolt to AN5.



We've  done this Mod and it works fine.
