<<....Im hoping that some kind owner/builder with a conventional wheel aircraft

There's not much to share; it's mainly as for the mono, plus bits of the tri.
So: Takeoff with 15-18 deg flap. Initial part of the TO run with stick held back
to pin the tailwheel to the ground. Then raise tail to increase tail surface
effectiveness and to reduce TO distance, but balanced with unloading the mains
if ground is draggy (soft, wet, long grass, etc). Sometimes full flap for the
initial part of the TO can assist in unloading the mains on exceptionally soft
ground. On long firm surfaces, flapless take off will expedite overall departure.
Land three-point with full flap. Depending where your axle line is in comparison
to CVG, wheeler landings are usually not possible, but useful to be able to
do if the brakes need to be applied early.
Everything else is easier than mono or tri, and the fuselage doesn't fall over
when the wings are taken out!

Starting thread a little late this week :(
We are planning and preparing for a trip to the International Peace Garden, North
Dakota, KS28. Should be a nice adventure.

| Subject: | What you did with your Europa this week |
I had a bit of a disappointment this week. Setting off on Saturday taking my wife
Gabi on a short visit to nearby Hinton in the Hedges airfield, we discovered
the passenger seat belt broken. The small plastic Tee piece that reacts against
the spring to latch to the other lap strap was in two pieces inside the receptacle.
We did the short trip by road.
My granddaughters 6, 7 and 8 years old were traveling up the next day to fly with
grandad.
Now every grandad knows, you do not disappoint the granddaughters.
I managed to borrow a friends C42 to do the three vip trips.
The seat belt had failed after only 4 people had sat in the right hand side, a
bit disappointing and thinking about it, I am unsure I trust plastic internals
with my or my families life. Any thoughts?
An RV builder friend has pointed me towards Crow safety gear.
On the brighter side, I can fly solo, which I am doing this morning, Tuesday.
All the best Alan Twigg
