| Subject: | Re: Ordering from Europa |
The situation regarding lack of response is not restricted to Europa business.
I have written several times to David with both positive feedback (including
offers to assist with Swift and Europa developments) and some criticism of parts
l received (a CS10a went back and forth a few times before l gave up). I did
actually get email response from David in 2015 concerning a proposed Mod and
the questionnaire he sent out earlier that year.
Karen normally replies and is helpful and cheery but there can be a significant
gap in communications. In all cases Europa apply a good margin on distributed
parts - it is up to the individual whether they wish to go direct (to LAS or
wherever) or not. The justification for a margin should include: a) items in
stock; b) fast turnaround. We have a vested interest keeping Swift/Europa in
business but the service received could be more timely.
I attended the RAeS Light Aircraft Design Conference in November, David was listed
as a co-presenter with the SAMAD people but l do not recall seeing him all
day. Swift co-sponsored the event but the conference subject matter did not
include Swift Aircraft this time.
The Swift website contains some information about David and their move to Coltishall.
Perhaps they are busy closing out the conformal prototype of the new aircraft
- to be flown under E-Conditions. The CGI imagined version certainly
looks good - although the RAF scheme of black/yellow may not be too practical
for a composite airframe. I guess high technology image and the potential to
generate local jobs helped clinch the 2m-3m they were granted not so long ago.
Hopefully David can take time to give the Europa forum an update on his intentions
for continued airworthiness support, including stock of spare parts?

I ordered these:
LAS item:
AA1D4 FAA / NE Stock 2 62.41 Each 124.82
McCreary 5.00-5 6ply Tyre, AA1D4
Fewer plies are less expensive!
Last pair of mains lasted 500 hours plus with 50% of landings on hard.

Must say I have had excellent service from Europa. Send them a email. They tell
me if they have the parts. I pay and they come within a couple of days.
If they dont have what I need, then I just buy it somewhere else.
If you order from LAS its usally with you the next day. Maybe just order from LAS
next time if you are having to wait months.
