I know yesterday was forecast for severe mountain waves in scotland
and personally i wouldnt have flown :D
but i have flown in moderate to severe turbulence, I usually slow down and tighten
the seat belts and put the Propellor into manual,
then its the case of riding it out, but other than a slight shudder when you
get a updraft with negative G i find the Europa excellent in rough air in
comparison to spam cans,

In my early days in my mono I hit some severe turbulence related to
Welsh mountains. Fortunately my straps were tight or else my head or the
canopy might have been the worse for wear. However when I came to put
the gear down the lever stopped about 1/2" from the detent. Clearly the
inertial forces on the undercarriage had forced a shift in the three
bolt join with the gear lever. In the end I managed to get it into the
detent by pulling like h++l with my right hand and thumping that hand
with my left whilst flying with my knees. Otherwise I was going to land
simply holding the lever back once throttle closed, hoping that the gear
was overcentre and not about to snatch the lever out of my hand. Morals:
1.Beware rota in mountain lea in high wind conditions.
2. Drill out bolt holes to give a tight fit and bond that joint when
initially fixing it.

Colombia is mountainous and the trades blow 15/30 kt 350 days a year. As a
consequence it's always bumpy. HJ460 handles this without any drama.
Incidentally it feels quite dramatic but my dynon G meter has never
registered over 2 G.
On sunday I landed with 18kt right X wind (for some reason I prefer L X
wind) which made me quite tense but down in one piece and in reasonable
style.

1;12 for my mono with wide blade Woodcomp prop, which will not stop
windmilling even with engine switched off. Regards, David Joyce, G-XSDJ
