I am very happy with the way the airplane flew. Nice and straight. I was surprised how relaxed I was during this first flight, a testament of how nice the Europa flies. I again want to thank all the people in this forum that put up with my questions during the 4 years it took to build N11EU and special thanks to Marty Mason and Bud Yerly. I also want to thank the Europa club for the help they provided finding some of the parts that were missing and I couldn't get through Europa and keeping alive the dream of flying this airplane one day. You can see the video of the first flight here: https://youtu.be/oThUb5GEcPs and the Europa club posted a beautiful picture commemorating the event, and a link to the same video, here: https://www.theeuropaclub.org/news/europa-first-flight-u-s-a-style Best Regards, Chris Martin Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=501170#501170 ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 01:13:57 PM PST US From: Pete Zut Subject: Re: Europa-List: N11EU (kit A291) Flies Congrats Chris!

It is currently finished with a really interesting epoxy primer which I am still evaluating before I pass judgement. the cowling is not painted. Hence, it looks funny right now :? But it flies great!!!
