The dates are June 14-16, hopefully with favorable weather conditions and better attendance than last year. See the proposed program and registration form below. The hotels may be very busy during the summer season, so book early. For the organization of the Fly-In, the earlier we receive your registration form, the better. So if you are planning to attend, please register now! More detailed informations to come later on. Looking forward to see you there.

My panel was built by Aerotronics in Billings, Montana (http://www.aerotronics.com/) and I have flown for over 1,000 hours without any trim issues. However, the photo and sketch diagram below show a trim cutout switch which Aerotronics included in my panel and this may be of interest to Europa owners. The switch is 3 position :- * Up = NORMAL * Center = OFF * Down (momentary spring loaded) = EMERGENCY REVERSE Aerotronics comments about this switch are shown here :- /.we started doing this after a Glastar crashed when they experienced a trim runaway. This switch allows you to at least stop the trim if it were to start to run away and even feather it back to a neutral position using the momentary reverse position. It an easy thing to wire up. I dont have a professionally drawn schematic but I quickly drew it up and scanned it here for you to look at. I drew it two different ways, they are the same exact wiring just one is drawn pictorially and one electrically/ If you have difficulty seeing the images on the Matronics link, please contact me direct. I will be happy to send them to you.
