Let me try to break the ice here by posting something.
Last weekend I went to an EAA breakfast at 9FL1. Nice flight. Grass runway (the
reason I build my Europa). Tall trees at the approach end made for an interesting
approach in the slippery Europa (most people had issues).
Some pictures attached.
My neighbor Alan Burrows, just three houses from mine, is back from England and
seems interested in getting his nice Europa back in the air. I hope he does.
It would be nice to see a Europa in the air and not from the cockpit. His is a
tri-gear and I know it has been featured in some of the older Europa magazines.
Best Regards,
Chris

Utter devastation this week; whole region went under water for a few days; Lismore
airfield 4m over its highest mound; all aircraft and hangars destroyed; only
one airfield in the area survived the highest floods on record... very very
sad sight driving around seeing peoples homes lining the streets of mud... very
sad... still no communications networks functioning; had to drive an hour
to access the world today...
So while all around was being ravaged by nature I was sitting in my offgrid home,
unaffected other than having a wild amazonian torrent ripping my driveway to
pieces and cleaning out the creek banks, i could do nothing but sit in front
of the console and play with the digital europa while drinking ballantines and
coffee; crunching numbers; trying different things out around the airframe and
sending it to fully developed stalls, approach configurations, ground effect,
and adding leading edge slats, playing with the engine cowl and main gear fairings.
Its been a very exciting and focused week of flood driven isolation!!!
So far the digital models aerodynamic performance is aligned to real life actuals;
so very happy with the results...
To answer Buds question raised about seeing what may happen flying with full up
elevator trim applied, the numbers indicate this would be an advantage on a short
field approach while maintaining a high nose attitude and enough power to
remain behind the drag curve above and not below 60kt. With cruise power applied
the numbers indicate a controlled stall landing; so rate of decent would be
greater than normal and appears you would have no additional back travel on
the control stick... it will be interesting to see what Buds adventure actually
delivers. The electronic brain could be totally wrong!!!

That is just terrible news regarding the storms and flooding! I hope
everyone has insurance and can recover. Where are you geographically?
WRT to the trim, the discussion was about full-down trim (as a debatable
contributory cause of that accident), not full-up.
