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? -------- John Wighton Europa XS trigear G-IPOD Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=486125#486125 ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 08:38:37 AM PST US Subject: Europa-List: Re: Tyre suggestions: Tri Gear From: "John Wighton" 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!

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.
