I have Mylar seals on N81EU. I installed them during a clean-up action and found them not to improve performance in any measurable manner. The real improvement were wheel fairings and leg fairings. B
I have left Los Angeles three days ago on my way to Oshkosh. Have landed in Anchorage 1 hour ago and will swing a little further north and see you all in Oshkosh then. <Thomas, N81EU>
N81EU has now landed one hour from Oshkosh in Eau Claire. We're planning on landing Mondy morning and were wondering whether all Europas park together and whether that offer on sharing a house 1 Mile

I would like to replace the main tires of my Trigear with smaller ones. Was wondering whether the same size tires as the nosewheel uses can be installed on the mains, too ? (I need the additional cle
Allow me to warn about this guy, Jason, who claims "only the facts and no bs" and offers a bolt-on fi (fuel injection) kit for the Rotax. He is a fake. Got his hands on a few military-modified 912's
You know it ... "Canada is the better America". ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ But apart from the Nation mentionned in the P-51 story - here is another off-topic, give-you-the-goosebumps-story: This was told by the s
Last weekend I spent with curing the vibration sensed in my Europa (Trike, classic, 912ul, Airmaster prop). Got myself an automotive vibration analyser off eBay for 400 US$ and had the pleasure of Ki

Hallo Klaus, danke f=FCr die Info. Insbesondere die Webseite des Herstellers ! Damit weisst Du mehr, als die Leute bei Europa. Ein builder aus Kanada hat mir seinen ungebrauchten (weil 912S) K=FChler
