Further to earlier e-mails this evening, Richard Holder has drawn my attention to Tech Talk on the factory website – which gives an indication of price and delivery date for the kits.

Yup.



FORTY POUNDS plus VAT plus carriage for



2 x pins

2 x M12 Nylocs

2 x M12 "thick" washers



The Nylocs are £8 a hundred from RS ! Washers unlikely to

be more !



I won't say what I think of this !

Conversely, the addition of £49 (=£89) for the inclusion of the Mod 52 kit 

seems remarkably good value for money; unless there is a '2' missing off the 

front of that number (=£289).



So I've ordered mine already: offer + acceptance = binding contract!

I wont deny that Europa spares are expensive but they are cheap by 

commercial aviation standards.



Just remember someone has to pay the wages of the Europa team at 

Kirkbymoorside. Without them it would be very difficult for us to keep 

flying. Once you become a Europa owner their help and expertise comes free 

of charge.



With only 500 or so aircraft out there you have to sell a hell of a lot of 

spares and kits just to cover the day to day running costs of the business.



Its easy to work out the cost of the raw materials and argue that the final 

cost is a rip off but Europa dosent enjoy the economies of scale that larger 

businesses enjoy. The thousand or so wing pins that have to be manufactured 

will certainly cost more than a few pence each.



No one likes having to shell out for mandatory mods but fifty quid for a 

safer aircraft sounds like a bargain to me.

I couldnt have put it better myself        (possibly with the exception of 

Nevilles aposite response)



May the force be with you.

Anyone who read my posting last night will realise that I wrote up today’s sequence incorrectly – the Loctite comes before the flox fillet!  

   

Apologies.
