Yet another new subscriber to the Europa page, though a long-time builder
(no 16)of G-OURO, seen "nearly ready to fly" at Cranfield 1995. Well, 'RO
is still nearly ready to fly, but is waiting for the completion of the
flight test program to G-NDOL, Graham Brunwin's and Melvin Cross's
Subaru-powered Europa before I can continue in their footsteps. The first
stages of their flight test program have gone really well, the Subaru EA-81
engine performing superbly, giving initial cruise speeds at around 135 knots
and at rpm well
below max.
As a number of you may already know, I have the dubious honour of being the
editor of the Europa Flyer, the quarterly magazine of the Europa Club, and
as such am always on the look-out for suitable and interesting articles to
bring the Flyer up to Booker-prize-nomination standard. W.H.Y? (Whilst I
can print internet-style articles straight from the Europa page, these are
burdened with all the "handshaking"/address mumbo jumbo of course, so I
would much prefer to have something properly typed-up & ready for direct
copying, or on disk in a Word for Windows format).
Thanks in advance for all the exciting contributions I know I will now be
inundated with - David Dufton
