Nice Model!!! Where can I get it? :)
So this week I decided to tame my Mono (or at least reduce my fear of trips and
wind). My plan is to take every opportunity I have to fly in days with conditions
that are a little less than ideal and work my way up to proficiency.
Yesterday noon I went up. A little crosswind, maybe 4 knots but thermals were on
a roll. A little bumpy and gusty. No problem. Good takeoffs and landings.
At 5, after work, I went up again. I had the perfect conditions at my field for
practice. AWOS was reporting 9 knots crosswind and occasional; "peak 11, caution
crosswind".
Of three takeoffs two were perfect and last one was Meh. On the Meh one, the airplane
wanted to fly a little soon. Still trying to decide if I should keep the
stick slight back pressure and the airplane get airborne or do what you normally
do in a TW airplane and nudge the nose down just a little to get speed to
buildup more. A little reluctant to push down on the nose though although I always
do that (gently) but on bumpy conditions I'm still trying to decide.
The landings were perfect. My field has intermittent tall tress and buildings close
to the runway sides which makes for good rotors with crosswinds. The runway
is hard but very wide. So now I know that my self imposed limit of 10 knot
crosswind is very doable and my anxiety has been reduced.
BTW, although focusing on the good stuff happening on the Europa community, just
wanted to say that we are all sadly looking at what is going on in Ukraine at
this end. Truly horrible events this day and age. I know that most Europa owners
reside closer to this conflict and, don't know for sure, but we may have
someone in this forum very close to it. As a US and EU citizen, and with family
living in Spain and Italy, it sure is in my mind.
Best,
Chris

Thanks Chris! Well done on upping your competency game!! Yes nice model; sometimes
you just got to do things on your own... life skills... got it down to mm
accuracy... Hours of plumb bobbing, measuring, string lining, lasering, and measuring
again and again; and thats before sitting at the console for even more
hours tweeking and refining iteration after iteration... planning to test some
standard and radical aerodynamic mods and see what numbers get spat out the
other end; some leading edge slats and slotted fowler flaps... previous tests
have been on a totally clean airframe so will be interesting to compare drag component
of all the standard dangly bits!

Creighton - I dont know anything about Punta Gorda, but when I went to Key West
many years ago, they claimed to be a sovereign country. I hesitated to get my
Conch Republic passport at the time, and still regret it. My plan was to get
the Diplomatic Passport, which entailed more responsibilities [as in, responsible
for paying higher fees... ]

All the best,

On Monday I flew from Key West KEYW to Punta Gorda KPGD Where I have a hangar.
Due to a lot of things I hadnt been able to get up there on a weekday in order
to get my new hangar key and badge.
I was unable due to the lack of a passport.
Who knew that Punta Gorda is a sovereign foreign country?
The flight was pleasant, though and if the crosswind ever gets less than 15kt (KEYW
has 1 runway, east west) maybe Ill go up again. With my passport this time.

I=99ll second your thoughts Chris
In my search for a propeller of the proper size for a mono, designed to
absorb the 140 hp in my Sube-derived engine, and rotate in the direction
opposite of that of the Rotaxthe only one I could find is a
beautiful, carbon fiber, ground adjustable prop made in KyivI
=99m glad that I purchased two extra sets of blades
