    Subject: Re: Wing tanks
    --> Europa-List message posted by: "Paul McAllister" <paul.mcallister@qia.net> Hi all, I believe one of the very early Europa builder did this, I think his name was Walter Binder. He added wing tanks, a glider tow hook, put the flap retract mechanism inside the wing and did some modifications to the windscreen / cowl area. He was mostly involved with gliders and was interested in drag reduction. I am sure that other forum members that have been around longer than me can provide more accurate information, but I know that this guy has never participated in the Europa community.

I have > been thinking of finishing up my commercial rating before selling my > Comanche but now I am not so sure. > > Does any one know if the same applies to US nationals who would like to > under go flight training ? I began work on my Instrument Rating on 1 Oct. I was requested to show proof of citizenship, preferably passport. That was the only requirement at that time. This was prior to the recent TSA regulation announcement so I don't know if it has changed much. I just read the AOPA blurb and it seems that this is the current status. Proof of U.S. Citizenship is necessary for Rating training. BTW, I have no problem with the background checks as I have been through several over the years while holding a Security Clearance, purchasing a couple vintage firearms from the Federal Government and for my Concealed Carry Training and Permit. If anyone is interested in flight training in the U.S., I'd be happy to check with my flight school ( http://www.usflightacademy.com/usfa/ ) to find out it they have been "qualified" to train foreign nationals. Texas usually has pretty darn good flying weather. That's why the USAAF (WW II) and the USAF (post 1949) built so many pilot training bases in Texas. And we have an empty guest bedroom we'd be happy to provide for any Europa folks who would find themselves traveling through or training in our area. Good building and great flying, Bob Borger Europa Kit #A221 N914XL, XS Mono, 914, Airmaster C/S http://forum.okhuijsen.org/N914XL (75%) Work on hold while I accumulate $$ to purchase the plexi, prop and other parts that I'll never get from EMIL or E(04). Meanwhile, working on Instrument, Commercial, CFI & CFII ratings for potential career change. 3705 Lynchburg Dr. Corinth, TX 76208 Home: 940-497-2123 Cel: 817-992-1117

    Subject: Re:TSA Rules
    --> Europa-List message posted by: EMAproducts@aol.com Have you seen the new TSA rules regarding non-US citizen flight training in the US? I have been a CFI since 62, and am a member of the National Association of Flight Instructors Yesterday I received via e-mail a big revision to the stated TSA rules. They are constantly being gone over by EAA and the NAFI and other groups to insure they will not be a burden on the schools, students or CFI's. Granted we need something, but there are limits~~~ Contact EAA/NAFI for most current info. ATP CE-500, B-737, DC-9; CFI ASMEL A&I Elbie EM Aviation www.riteangle.com

    --> Europa-List message posted by: NevEyre@aol.com Hi All, I have heard from a number of builders that they have recieved a demand for money owed to EMIL, to be paid to Redman Nichols within 7 days. None of them believe they owed anything.We are talking about small amounts, but if they have done this to a large number of you, it could add up ? Check your records before paying, or ask for details of what and when ? Might be a scam? [alledgely !] Cheers, Nev.

Walter Binder made this with a " Classic Europa Monowheel ". I suppose, it's much easier to install tanks in foam wings than now with the ready build up wings. You can contact him under: Walter Binder Motzorenbau GmbH 049-(0)9777-9200 (fon) 049-(0)9777-9201 (fax) or per e-mail: _097779200@t-online.de_ (mailto:097779200@t-online.de) Kind Regards, Bruno Reith / kit 379 XS Monowheel
