The food, the visit to the Biltmore estate, the RC demonstration, the after dinner talks and hanging out at the campfire with smores were all great! And boy, landing on that runway is unique it is so wide and long that it is difficult to have a good reference for the centerline. Unfortunately, we were the only Europa of about 25 aircraft, but we answered a lot of questions from interested folks. The weather kept Rich Schultz from attending and we had some weather enroute. Weather at Triple Tree was clear and hot! Meeting up with Troy and Donna Maynor (Europa Classic N120EU) for lunch Saturday was a Europa bonus! We flew over 12 hours on our extended trip and really love the performance of our Europa. We carried our camping gear, clothing and most importantly, our dog, Jethro. We have to really watch weight, but the Europa is still a great cross country machine, cruising (below 10K) around 150 kts TAS on 5.5 gph, even faster up high! We work hard to use only MOGAS as we did on this trip. We have 5 gal gas bags and at three instances we used a courtesy car to drive to town and purchase MOGAS. It really isnt much of a problem. Were looking forward to Oshkosh and will announce the forum and other activities soon. Also mark your calendars for the AOPA Fly-In at Battle Creek, MI on Sept 16-17. Battle Creek is an airport of entry, so we hope to see many of our Canadian friends.
