Given James May has his pilot's license, do you think he logged
That flight as "dual" in his log book, I sure would have, got the
Video to prove it too

I took ownership of Europa Tri-Gear Kit 630 from Steve Vestuti this Saturday and
transported it from South Wales to the North West without mishap! (Longest 7
hours of my life). Does everyone get that holy sh** moment when they realise
what they have done or is it just me!

Hi Alan, Don't worry we all got that sinking feeling having spent a lot of
money and not got a plane only the promise of one. My only comment and
suggestion would be to join the Europa club ASAP, they are a very friendly
and helpful lot, me included. You will always find someone who has
experience with what ever you are having trouble with and will help you or
point you in the right direction.
Get a good inspector on side preferably with Europa experience. If there is
still quite a lot of glass work to do, have a practice by making the wheel
chocks as per the manual, don't worry if you get it wrong you can in most
cases re do it and, enjoy the build process.
I can say its a very special feeling to complete and fly your own aircraft.
As to how long it will take to complete, that will depend on you, I bought
my kit in a part finished state and pretty well went back to start again
with a new cockpit module. Mine took just over 7 years to complete including
4 years out with various Cancers and the help of two rather special friends
who came on board to help when things looked rather bleak.
Good luck.

Alan,
Welcome to the Europa Community! Gitr organized and gitr done!
Yes, driving back from Europa/Florida after having placed the order for my kit
I had the same Holy $#!^, what have I done? moment. Then, several months later
driving a rental truck full of Europa kit #242 I had exactly the same "HS,WHID?
moment.
Now, you just need to get into the shop every day and do something on the kit.
Accomplish something every day. Take pictures of your work every day and make
sure you can do an entry into your build diary every day. Then, one day, it
will come back from the paint shop ready to fly and youll get to say Holy $#!^,
Ive actually done it! And you get to start enjoying the real fruits of your
labor; flying with all those other great Europa folks all over the UK and continent.
Blue skies & tailwinds,
Bob Borger
