Dear All,



 



Today at 12.15 Europa Mono #103 took to the skies in the very capable hands

of Nigel Charles who kindly accepted the responsibility of conducting the

test flying schedule. The initial flight lasted 20 minutes, followed by one

hour with myself in P2 and by some miracle very few problems were apparent.



 



If I had ever deluded myself I had built it single handed, it could not have

been with without much guidance and support from many, but in the main to

the likes of Neville who put me straight on many technical aspects as well

as signing off the plane. Without this technical support the project would

have been a lot harder. Why is this man not still working at the factory?!



 



Now looking forward to getting to the D.O.T.H.'s and not asking Paddy to

take his plane apart any more so I can see how he did his fuel system!

Congratulations!  Welcome to the flying fraternity of those who have built their own wings.



Grin till it hurts!

Congratulations Richard

  

 I think 99% of us would not finish without the help  of our builder friends, most of them new friends!

 Enjoy the results of your efforts!

Congratulations Richard,

 

Now the real fun starts!  For the records, could you let me know the first

flight airfield, the aircraft empty weight and some idea of the total build

hours.

 

Just too late to include in the next edition of the Europa Flyer which has

just gone to the printers.  If you have any pictures please send them to

Tony Wickens, the editor.

 

Best regards

Richard,

  

 congratulations!

  

 The best part is The Thrill when learning landing by  landing to land better and better your Mono.

 It like a legal drug and you will need it more and  more.

Very well done Ritchard

I take my hat off to all the guys who did the wet lay ups on the classic wings,

I had discounted the Europa because of that, But luckily for me the XS was introduced and as they say the rest is history,

I hope you have as much fun flying her then the Building 



Congratulations

Nice job, Richard.   

   

Now you can enjoy all of the spoils.  

   

Also, I noticed Raimo Toivio’s Europa is in the current Kitplanes Magazine.   

   

Congrats to both of you,
