Bruno Reith's Smart Turbo Europa took him down a unique path. As I recall, the installation was engineered by Otto Funk and a series of photos were posted, I believe, on this list. It appeared to be a carefully built aircraft w/ much attention to detail. I would be most curious to know what prevented flight testing. I certainly hope it finds a new home with an adventurous owner. Fred > On Jan 24, 2019, at 12:05 AM, John Wighton wrote: > > > I would sell the engine and fit a Rotax.

A bit more regarding Bruno Reith=99s Europathe confusion about whether it is a Classic or an XS stems from the fact that Bruno had access to the forward portion of a Classic which he sent off to the folks who were fabricating his engine mount and cowlings to use as a jigthe aircraft itself is an XS with the exception of his unique engine installation and cowlings. I pass along this text, written by Bruno back in 2007; unfortunately, I can=99t seem to open the photos he=99d sent me: > On Monday, September 24, 2007, at 02:44 AM, UVTReith@aol.com wrote: > > Hi Fred, > > at present the plane is still in Tschech Republic at the Europa Aircraft workshop. > They made "fine trimming and correcting of my built", engine installation, painting and interieur. > I will pick it up (800 km drive to that location) on the 3rd of Oktober. > > As the job "fine trimming and correcting of my built" was taking longer than I thought, I dought that I can do the first go before winter time.

It's (contrary to the Ad and AFAIK) completely an XS Kit, not a Classic and is/was nicely finished from what I have seen. The engine https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ecofly_M160 is quite interesting from an economical point of view and state of the art, however not very popular. > > Regards > Roland > PH-ZTI > XS TG 914 > > > > > Read this topic online here: > > http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=487198#487198 > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Other Matronics Email List Services ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Post A New Message europa-list@matronics.com UN/SUBSCRIBE http://www.matronics.com/subscription List FAQ http://www.matronics.com/FAQ/Europa-List.htm Web Forum Interface To Lists http://forums.matronics.com Matronics List Wiki http://wiki.matronics.com Full Archive Search Engine http://www.matronics.com/search 7-Day List Browse http://www.matronics.com/browse/europa-list Browse Digests http://www.matronics.com/digest/europa-list Browse Other Lists http://www.matronics.com/browse Live Online Chat! http://www.matronics.com/chat Archive Downloading http://www.matronics.com/archives Photo Share http://www.matronics.com/photoshare Other Email Lists http://www.matronics.com/emaillists Contributions http://www.matronics.com/contribution ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- These Email List Services are sponsored solely by Matronics and through the generous Contributions of its members.
