    Subject: Help a brother out? Info request
    Hi Kevin=2C I'm up in Oxford=2C but often down in Poole saili ng. I have a Europa all in bits and just re validating my licence and have been flying off and on since 18 now 56 ! Is it that long !! I also have aLo ng ez. I have been in contact with Europa and have to say slow to respond but told that kits and parts are available off the shelf. I am changing the undercarriage to trigear and 914 Rotax turbo engine with a wood comp prop All agents from all three companies responded and forwar ded details as requested. I like you am a little concerned about the level of activity on the Forums and general interest in Europa aircraft=2C I put it down to the lull before the storm! Boating and sailing is the same this is obvious by the lack of support by customers at the boat shows. little or no spare money and worrie d about the economic climate Great time to buy a plane or build one! The Europa is ..... in my view the best 2 seater light aircraft for the UK Market and my reasons are simple to built to a high standard and options of engines=2C Rotax in my view as the best option engine on the market for Europa and three or four prop options. I can confirm after flying 19+ diff erent types of light singles over the years=2C Europa in the currant and fu ture market will continue to be a favored mount of many! How many Light ai rcraft can be taken home on a trailer and kept in a garage ? Till the next flight ? I don't encourage strip downs between flights=2C but it is an opti on to take it home and do repairs services and mods in the comfort of your own garage so you can cook dinner and do the washing=2C hoovering and the i roning all at the same time=2C Us guys must multi-task with man options! Excellent support also from the LAA and its website. Contact Andy Draper I n Engineering He is X Europa Aircraft and a great knowledge on all matters light aircraft and aspects of and I have found him always willing to help a nd always enthusiastic. Also fellow members once contacted. Join the Euro pa club it will give you a list of members local to you=2C builders as well as flyers on their data base but like Europa Aircraft it is a little slow to update its data as it's all run by Owners/builders who all have jobs or don't need the contact or support as their planes are flying or still in bi ts or got board with the idea/dream of building a Europa=2C I'm sure there are a few kits in garages and enough parts to build 10 more ! Laying around . Also buy the CD A plane is born where Mark Evens builds a Europa. Its a f un light hearted film that is useful and covers the Europa well and other m arques of PFA / LAA aircraft with Cameo appearances from Andy Draper and o thers who are still very involved in Light Aviation. If you want a chat or meet up give me a call Mobile 07942 923823 Home 01 865 727660 email gbupa@hotmail.com i retired early so around in the daytime Nigel Subject: Re: Europa-List: Help a brother out?

So far I have ema iled Europa four times and phoned once in a effort to get some info on were I can see a Europa in the Flesh=2C so far Europa has not made contact with me. I lived in Eastbourne=2C East Sussex. UK Can anyone help me or know of any shows that a Europa Plane may be so I can get a closer look? Also the lack of contact from Europa is a bit worrying=2C is anying having a problem getting help from Europa with problems once you have purchased a Plane fro m them.Richard******************************Link to Post:http://www.europao wners.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=17&t=7133 ========= href="http://www.matronics.com/Navigator?Europa-List">http://www.matroni cs.com/Navigator?Europa-List ========= ums.matronics.com">http://forums.matronics.com ========= http://www.matronics.com/contribution">http://www.matronics.com/contributio n =========

    Sorry to hear you're getting a poor response from Europa - our recent experiences have been less than favourable too - Poor response to enquiries and when we bought some exhaust parts, they had been fabricated incorrectly, didn't fit and would have needed welding to make them fit (things have gone very wrong since Roger and John went). If yo don't get a positive response from Europa, a friend of mine has a complete, unstarted kit that he may well part with - let me know if you want his contact details - I'm sure he would part with it for a very fair price Peter
