| Subject: | Europa kit for sale on Ebay |
Hi,
It is with great sadness that I have to put my kit up for sale. Business
interestes over the last 4 years have halted work on the kit due to lack of
time. The kit has been put onto Ebay with what I think is a reasonable
starting price. Anyone interested can see it at
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=280153455677. Some
of you will probably recognise your own plane in a few picures I have added
to the advert, I hope you don't mind.
Once sold, I will be on the lookout for a finished plane.
Cheers,
Mark.

Remi,
A few years ago I measured the speed difference "before and after" for my monowheel
speed kit over a range of speeds from 90 to 135 kts. The lower speed gain
was only about 5 kts but, understandably because drag increases at speed squared,
the top of the speed range had an 8 kt gain. Overall, the average gain
over this speed range was 6.5kts.
It's a worthwhile improvement in speed especially if you cruise at 120kts+ but
I can't help thinking that the design of the fairings could be improved. All
of the flap bracket fairings have a very broad trailing edge and the curved,
open tops at the back must induce drag as the air curls over into it.

I can second that, good to see some Europa's meeting up. Next time I
hope to be travelling up in mine instead of my Emeraude. Thanks Paddy
for taking so much time to explain your fuel system layout at
Treborough! Hope you all had as good a flight home as I did.

| Subject: | Fw: Try a Europa XS on for size? |
Hi,
I'm considerably larger than the FAA standard pilot - 6'3", 210 or so
lbs. I'm seriously considering building a Europa XL, but after reading a
CAF=C9 Foundation Europa Classic APR, I'm concerned there might not be
enough leg and head room. Shoulder room shouldn't be a problem; I'm
taking flying lessons in a Cessna 172, and it only has a 40" wide
cockpit. I'm jammed against the door, but its not uncomfortable.
I'm currently in Wichita, KS, and occasionally rent airline seats for
the ride back to my real home in Silicon Valley (San Jose, CA area). So,
any builders local to either area that have enough of the fuselage
finished for me to check out my fit in an XS that would let me sit in it
for a couple of minutes?
Thanks,
Richard Pottorff

Hi Richard,
I live on the east side of Wichita and have my Europa based in Augusta 9
miles east. It first flew in 1999 so you are more than welcome to sit in
it. You might also consider the 'high top' version which the Europa
Company also offers which provides a little more headroom. I'm 5 ft 10
and there is 3-4 inches clearance but then I have some pretty thick seat
cushions.
Give me a call sometime on 316-685-4275.
Also take a look at the website: http://ourworld.cs.com/MJKTuck

...Interesting to read your DOTH ideas, especially the Arrows' timings. Ten
minutes from the Wallop to Bristol............ Do you know if they spread
out enroute or is it too short to change from a gaggle to crispycrackers?
