Hi Chuck,
So you have preferred another option than Rotax, so I did in putting a
Subaru EJ 22 in front of #148
How did you manage to put your CofG right with that 100 lbs extra weight ?
I will closely follow your tests in this forum.
Regards
Jacques

Subject: Re: Europa-List: FIRST FLIGHT
Jeff,
After my first flight of my Europa XS with the Geo engine you had asked
for more information. I am sorry for the delay; however, we have been
doing more testing and are now working on additional cooling
modifications. So far the flight characteristics are in line with a
normal Rotex engine.
Approximately 100 lbs were added because of this engine combination;
however, several options added to the total weight, such as a 65 amp
alternator.

Congratulations Chuck!
It was after talking to you in 2002 that I decided to go forward with
buying A258. I will be looking forward to hearing your test results.
I'll have mine at MQY in a few months to start testing myself.
Hopefully we can get together after you enjoy 40 hours alone.
