Tony. I was sold a hybrid classic wings and xs cockpit module but also paid for a mono and trike conversion by the factory and was somewhat miffed to find the new quick build wings were about to hit the market! I placated my self by the thought that the foam filled wings or parts of them may flo at if ditched! Since then I am very happy to have abandoned the mono conce pt and have landed in 35 knot cross winds and have done 1200 hours landing in every country in Europe. My friends think I need my "bumps" feeling for flying to Texel direct over the North Sea in 1 hour 45 ! Still I guess you wouldn't be much of a similar mind in O Z! Just get it completed and join t he satisfied Europa owners . Regards Bob Harrison.

I only took possess ion of this aircraft 2 weeks ago and been busy reviewing what I have and wh at is missing. The aircraft was sold to me as an XS and came from the USA s/n A011 but on closer inspection of the wings seemed to show that they are foam core. So I think I was sold a Europa Classic. It is for this reason that the mass-bal ance reassesses are missing at that they are not cut out. In reviewing the Builders Manual for the Classic Wing, the mass balance boxes are not provid ed and need to be build. Also the reassess is constructed AFTER the wing i s closed. I feel releaved in one way but annoyed in another that I was sold a Classic when I was assured it was an XS. Has anyone heard of this happening before - should I be concerned with the Classic as compared to the XS? Thanks once again..

If I put the guide plate on top of where Ive marked, it protrudes beyond the edge of the tunnel, so it looks as though Id need a fillet of filler to blend it in after fitting it. I double-checked between the paper & PDF manuals (Ive been caught before with differences between the two) but both have the same dimensions. Is this something I should worry about? Should I move the slot slightly more towards the centreline to avoid the possibility of it breaking out of the side of the tunnel?
