I too plan on building an Europa and build radio controlled models. I am
designing a 40% scale Europa with Rutan wet layup fuselage and Europa
style hot wired foam flying surfaces. The reason for the exercise is to
work out the details of vacuum bagging the flying surfaces. I really
think that vacuum bagged wet layup construction is a better way to go.
I have tried to buy the Berkut construction videos that detail the vacuum
bagging technique but they won't even return my e-mail enquiries. I
bought the tail plane manual fron Europa and have every published article
I could find for scale documentation. I have been trying to get the
airfoil coordinates for the wing and tail but havn't been successful
there yet. I hope to be able to put my deposit down for my 100% scale
kit in March. I might have better luck getting the airfoil coordinates
after I have put up the earnest money for the kit. In all fairness to
Europa I havn't contacted Ivan directly for the coordinates but will
shortly.
The tail plane manual has a three view. I would be glad to scan it and
put it on my home page if you would like.
