It's nicely moored to the jetty now. This was the first time the Woodcomp reverse prop came in use. The ice was wet and hence conventional braking action zero. Reversing and hitting the throttle really brakes about as good as the monowheel brake. Tailwheel and rudder control during taxiing was good enough to keep track. It's nice to just have to walk to plane to fly, instead of driving to the airport :-) Regards, Jos Okhuijsen Visit - www.EuropaOwners.org Attachments: http://www.europaowners.org//zfiles/canon_15-12-2007_119_689.jpg ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 03:34:14 AM PST US From: Graham Singleton Subject: Re: Europa-List: Flying report Jos! congratulations! That's another dream come true, yes? Must be nice to have a 20 km long runway, but is it into wind?

What do you have in the way of a heater. It looks cold there. I don't start work on mine because the garage is to cold at 55 degrees F. josok wrote: Yesterday i flew the ship from the airport to the lake in front of our place.

Jos ...well done, for a second I thought "WHAT'S THIS HE MUST HAVE A SET OF FLOATS ON !" then I got my brain wound up ! It puts a whole new dimension on the Europa operation. I guess a set of ski's would suffice for the trike too ? I'm half sad I didn't go the reverse prop way ! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. Regards Bob H G-PTAG PS you don't have a set of my Torque tube clamps fitted do you ? -----Original Message----- From: owner-europa-list-server@matronics.com [mailto:owner-europa-list-server@matronics.com] On Behalf Of josok Sent: 16 December 2007 09:14 Subject: Europa-List: Flying report Yesterday i flew the ship from the airport to the lake in front of our place.
