David,
I used Superfil from Poly Fiber Aircraft Coatings http://www.polyfiber.com/
step/
It is not far off half the weight and very easy to sand. It also bonds to i
tself well so that constant additions work. One clonk of the Permagrit or s
and paper and it is ready to go again.
It also dries fast so is ready to sand at the following day (given a good t
emp and dry air which during a Scottish winter meant using a heater and deh
umidifier).
The sanding process was huge as we made the Classic wings from starting fro
m foam shapes. The Superfil made it a lot more pleasant and the aircraft we
ighed a lot less at the end.
We did it ourselves using their entire Top Gloss paint system to very good
effect.
Just my pennyworth.

A couple of questions.
1. while at cruise speed the aircraft is neutral in pitch. At low speed
(flaps down) it tends to hold any pitch input (nose up or nose down). Anyone
any thoughts?
2. Does anyone have recognised check lists for a 914 mono?

Hi Graeme,
There is a standard Europa mod for this. You can find details on the Europa
web site. Go to http://www.europa-aircraft.com/ . Follow links to
Technical then mods and then look at Mod 61A. I think you will find all
you need in there.

Hi,
I guess the info you provide is a bit limited but may I suggest two areas to
look at.
1. Sounds a little as though you have excessive friction in the elevator
circuit. The elevator control input is very light and any friction in the
circuit could cause hang up.
2. Flettna strips on the elevators. Are they fitted? Are they to the spec
layed down in the build instructions. Inadequate strips will cause you to
get no pitch change until the control movement gets to a certain point then
you will notice a large effect change all at once. Small trim tab movments
get lost within the boundary layer, hence need for flettnas.
Sorry no help with second question although of course there is a general
check list in the Pilots Flying Manual that should have come with your kit.
Failing that, it is available on the manufacturers web site for down load
under manuals.

11 year's!! after delivery of the kit I have great pleasure to announce
that my Europa G-CFMP had a successful first flight last evening, after a
day's testing, in the more than capable hands of Dave Bosomworth.
The long awaited weather window provided the opportunity for a day's
concentrated ground testing culminating in a first flight before the first
showers returned and darkness descended.
David reported a great flight with no real snags.
The fun continued today at Popham.
I should like to thank my inspector Alan Thorne for his encouragement and
assistance over the last 10 years.
There were certainly times when morale was low and I needed that little
push to maintain the required effort to complete.
I have just had my first observer flight and have joined that exclusive band
of pilots with that exclusive Europa grin - now recorded digitally for
posterity.
More fun tomorrow.

Hi Mike,
Many congratulations on the success of your eleven year mission to go where
no man has been before. Fortunately we can now modify that to read only a
lucky few have been before. Europa euphoria. Well done.
Looking forward to seeing your 'digital' when available.
Happy flying
Pete
