Europa Questions

Hi all,

I am researching available airplanes to build and the Europa 
looks like a potential winner. The San Francisco bay area 
here has very expensive hanger rates and I am attracted to 
the idea of a trailerable aircraft. The only seemingly 
viable choices are the Europa and the Sonex, which both have 
sailplane-like wing mounting.

Both planes have their pluses and minuses and I would like
to hear opinions on both, as well as comments on any other
competing designs. I do however have a couple of 
specific questions about the Europa.

The review articles about the Europa talk about doing
aerobatics but the G limit loads listed on the Europa
website do not qualify for the aerobatic category. Is/was
there a change in design direction?

Thanks
