Hey Jeff,
Yeah, I saw that, too. 'Bout time the rest of the aviation world recognized what we Europaphiles already know, huh?
Every pilot I've taken for a ride in N245E has been very impressed with the handling, and equally impressed with the fuel economy and how well it slows down for landing.
The handling, the Fowler type flaps and the efficient cruise were what drew me to the Europa.
Mighty fine bird indeed and one that continues to impress. I don't think there's a more honest bird available in the kitplane market, at least not one I'm aware of.

John-
Speaking of "go fast." You went over several things with us in KY. The easiest, cheapest and most gain seemed to be from flap seals. Is there any chance you could do an article for the club magazine on the mods you have done? I know a lot of people are interested.
Nice meeting you there and I really look forward to getting my Jab installed and flying.

John,
I agree 100%. You are a glider bird, I guess.
Best regards,
