Thanks for the feed back funke sounds interesting but so does the Dittel which I had not heard of before. The Dittel is also a much more sensible price at sub 800 in the UK. Trig was what I expected.

IMHO they are fantastic units and if installed properly with good antennae will prove to be great additions to your plane. The built in intercom is brilliant and coupled with good headsets beats anything else hands down. > > The frequency dual watch facility on the Radio is brilliant.

I say this purely due to the loom available, (well the one supplied by LX Avionics) is rather heavy and you can buy a plastic connector housing for the Radio from Maplins which is lighter than the one supplied with the radio. > > Call Mike Pettican from LX Avionics and he will sort a good deal for you.

I had a chance to fly a Europa once and it was an absolute joy to fly. Our thought was to give the students who built the aircraft a chance to fly in it and also handle the aircraft in the air. There was no intent to actually do any real flight training with the students. Thank You all for pointing the dangers that await us in that area. Just as a side note for everyone, Sonex Aircraft, LLC holds an FAA Letter of Deviation Authority (LODA) allowing it to provide type-specific transition flight training for the Sonex line of aircraft. The LODA authorizes Sonex Aircraft, LLC to provide training for pilots building, buying or considering a Sonex design. The training is for aircraft familiarization and transition purposes only. Student applicants must already hold a pilot certificate with appropriate category and class rating, as well as any required endorsements. So there is a way to give training in a homebuilt aircraft but it is a very special case. For those of you who have completed their Europa's and no longer need their tools we would greatly appreciate it, if you would consider possibly donating your tools to the Camden Youth Aviation Program. We are a registered 501(c)3 so your donation would be tax deductible. More information about our program can be found on our Facebook page or our website www.camdenyap.org We have aircraft A189. I have included some photos of the aircraft.
