There are some experienced Europa builders in France, but you are welcome to visit me (I live close to Bern). Regards, Alfred Europa #097 Monowheel 912S >>> owner-europa-list-server@matronics.com 06/13 12:30 >>> --> Europa-List message posted by: Hi All, I live in Switzerland (Monday - Friday anyway) and have just bought a farmhouse 3 hours away in the Vosges (NE France) which, purely coincidentally of course, has a large hayloft that would be ideal for building a Europa... :) So, realistically, how difficult is it going to be for a Brit with O Level French to build a Europa to French standards mainly at the week-end? I'd be very pleased to receive comments from anyone with experience of building in France. I am not so concerned about the language as other logistic issues such as inspections and so on. Also, I would really appreciate any advice about setting up my workshop as I have pretty much a blank sheet to work on at the moment. I have gathered some information from the Build Guide but all suggestions would be very welcome. Finally, any Europa builders in the vacinity of Xertigny 88220 (or Zurich for that matter) who would care to show me how it's done over a beer or bottle of red, please get in touch. Thanks for any help.

In considering where to plant two 7"x3"x6-1/2" batteries, I am wondering if there is room ahead of firewall for one or both. With two alternators, I only need one battery, but will make provision for two and hoped to keep both close together. Am also begging for info as to where fuel and engine instrument lines should go, as well as electric power cables. Am building Classic mono.

Mine are under the baggage floor and if I had it to do over again, I would put them farther back. The glider wings need a further aft CG, though. Forward is better for cable runs, but the CG would be a problem. I am installing my O2 bottle in the aft under the stab counter weight for CG purposes too. Dave A227 mini U2
