Richard,
While I cant fault your reasoning on this matter all I would say is that
you are missing the point.
Europa aircraft provides a service, not just bundled components sourced
from RS or elsewhere. Someone ???? has to pay for that service and this is
reflected in the cost of parts/ kits supplied.
Better that Europa charge extortionate prices (allegedly) and stay in
business than being cheap and going bust.
Having owned a company that went bust I learned that lesson the hard way -
and believe me it was a very
expensive lesson !

I have found that anything that has the adjectives "motorcycle" or
"aircraft" attached to it costs more than a similar part from the hardware
store. From my years in the manufacturing of metal parts, I am aware of
different standards being applied to parts that look identical, so rather
than take a chance on failure, I spend more to buy properly spec'ed parts.
Am I safer? I couldn't tell you. Do I worry less? Yes. Will my manufacturer
be around when I need a dealer specific part? I'm hoping that my patronage
means that they will be. Look around. I believe that a truthful assessment
of Europa 2004 prices on most parts/components to be well within reason.
Besides, they are a darn nice bunch of guys who are willing to answer the
most inane questions without laughing. Thanks guys.
