They are building all kinds of planes up at kzph, their new digs. I spoke to Russ last week and he is certainly still ready and able to help Europa fans. Bud has the old Flightcrafters barn in Seffner. I spent a very pleasant 9 hours with him last week. As I mentioned previously, Bud is a former USAF fighter jock and career officer with a degree in Aero Engineering. He was a great help as my main construction consultant during the FlightCrafter days. The shop has about 6 europas in varying states of construction at the moment. Bud cranked out a couple of motorglider wings recently, and has designed a neat new gantry system for fitting and storing wing sets. They allow a single person to install MG wings and were about $2500 a set if I recall correctly. He also has built a couple of nice enclosed trailers for Europas(heated and cooled!). I don't think he was ready to sign the papers with E04 yet, but maybe the E04 website reflects changes since last week.

That is not to say Lockwood is any less qualified , I know they are good too, but to give people a choice of places to go. If you live on the west side of US or Canada it sure is a lot closer. They are located in Vernon BC. In any case I strongly recommend taking a class. I have owned both a 912 and 914 and performed maintenance but my confidence level went up dramatically, I learned a lot! I now am a certified rotax maintenance tech or at least that's what the coffee mug says that they gave me! Get out there and take a class!

After almost 4 months (three days short). we finally got an FAA airworthiness certificate today. So we now have a new N number and are legal to fly in the USA. Tomorrow I start to put everything back together after the inspection and hopefully take to the skies. The actual FAA inspection was a fairly painless experience consisting of mainly paperwork checks. It actually proved a bit of an anti climax after spending several days preparing for a full and in depth inspection process. The main thing is we are now legal to fly. I just gotta get used to the new N number instead of the G registration. Anyone interested in the process of importing a home built aircraft into the U.S contact me offline and I will be pleased to supply details of how to do it and how NOT to do it, as we have become experts of the last few months. Hope to see everyone at Sun n Fun.
