I'm happy to announce that my EUROPA No. 242 - Classic has successfully reached the sky few days ago, on 08. Oct., at 12:02 a'clock local time, at the airport of Luebeck in North GERMANY- after 17 years building on it. My instructor and test pilot, C. Peter Vajen, was very happy about the workmanship, the performance and flight characteristics. I have prepared a detailed report of this first flight and the whole story about my time consuming building process and the many modifications I did. But I don't know whether somebody is interested on this? So let me know whether I should put the whole story on this forum, or somebody wants it separately by E-Mail directly from me??

I've got the mono wheel motor glider with about 550 hours on it now. I believe mine was the first customer long wing to fly. Now I am starting the infamous Mod 78. Has anyone successfully done this mod themselves yet? I have just started by pulling the wings and organizing the hangar in anticipation of the big job. The first thing I have noticed is the front pin and socket on the fuselage has significantly more play in it than the original socket. Was this socket replacement due to a structural considerations or just the make the rigging easier? It seems that socket location sets the angle if incidence and I would think there should be virtually no play there. The pin has a shoulder on it and I was thinking that the shoulder was what does the trick. It doesn't seem to, though. On the other hand, I did see a couple small parts wrapped in the package, so possibly there is some part I am not considering. I have not seen any drawings or pictures of the new socket. I hope this mod goes well. After getting all the angles and rigging set, its hard to tear that all apart again - especially after flying it for over 10 years now.
