Hello John and Pete,
welcome to the europa mail, John, i assume you are in the UK, if
so, then have you had a trip in a europa yet ? Thats the clincher,
nothing else flies like one!
If you can get a copy of Flyer magazine for Jan 96, that gives a
good idea of the status of glider wings and new engines, namely a BMW
motorbike engine. As for the glider wings it states that Ivan has given
the go-ahead. Dont hold your breath yet, but they will be optional ( and
therefore one hopes retro-fittable ) to existing europas, with spoilers
instead of flaps and total 42ft span. Estimated LD 24 and probably more
like a 90KT to 100KT cruise.
Your email worked fine Pete, if you have CIM v2.0 point Mosaic
at this URL, you only need one: http://www.avnet.co.uk
