Regards Ivor _____ From: owner-europa-list-server@matronics.com [mailto:owner-europa-list-server@matronics.com] On Behalf Of Steven Pitt Sent: 30 August 2006 23:20 Subject: Europa-List: First Flight At 16.00 hrs UK Summer Time today, G-SMDH finally took to the very beautiful skies over Blackbushe Airport, Hampshire, under the capable hands of Pete Jeffers. Peter disappeared from view for about twenty minutes and on completing a successful and sweet landing pronounced that the aircraft performed well with one or two tweaks necessary. For the record, G-SMDH is a Europa XS Tri gear (no 403) with a Rotax 912S with Warp Drive fixed pitch prop. Weight has been finalised at 861lbs - total build time was +2500 hours and counting. Peter then invited me to take to the air with him (for data collection purposes) and I found it to be a wonderful experience and can't wait to sit in the left hand seat. Thanks to all my supporters and their kind words. Steve Pitt Thanks to Mike Gamble for a picture of me with a Europa smile! ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 03:23:04 AM PST US From: Subject: RE: Europa-List: First Flight Congratulations Steve, I am sure the long wait was worth it.
