If you do the same thing on a Trigear or conventional, nothing happens! I think this makes a significant difference to the ease of the process. Ex Mono, now Trigear Brian Davies -----Original Message----- From: owner-europa-list-server@matronics.com [mailto:owner-europa-list-server@matronics.com] On Behalf Of George Nielsen Sent: 12 January 2015 21:37 Subject: RE: Europa-List: Removing and Attaching Wings Single Handed Hi Rob, You are right: I did not specify monowheel, nosewheel or conventional tailwheel. That is because I am flexible, as it may be that with one configuration it is easier to remove and attach the wings. However, I doubt whether this is the case. The replies I received have indeed given me the impression that the type of undercarriage does not make much difference in this respect. The configuration I am most inclined to get is monowheel, as it is the most efficient in flight as it is retractable. Thus it makes bes use of the space between the two seats. Thanks to all of you who replied.

Although I thought about getting a low hours engine; they seemed to be asking nearly as much. Nearly fell foul of a scam from someone in Germany and in the end decided the engine was one item I wanted to be confident in. I think the registration mentioned fitting and first run. They are pretty established and reliable so you shouldn't need the warranty unless you are doing silly hours. -------- Graeme Bird G-UMPY Mono Classic/XS 912S/Woodcomp 3000/3W Newby: 135 hours 32 months on the Mono g(at)gdbmk.co.uk Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=436958#436958 ________________________________ Message 3 _____________________________________ Time: 01:53:15 PM PST US Subject: Europa-List: Re: Rotax Engine Purchase From: "jonathanmilbank" It's so long ago since I bought my first brand new engine through Europa, who in their turn had bought a job lot from Skydrive (I think), but I seem to recall that the deal went something like this. We could purchase our engines and keep them at home or indeed fit them to our airframes up to a year before first flight. Then from the date of first flight the warranty lasted for one year. This meant that the warranty could have expired up to two years after date of purchase. Hopefully and if you decide to buy brand new, you might be able to negotiate something similar.
