Hello Rolph,
In the UK I dont believe there are any legal requirements. I'm
putting one on the tail anyway, and all the UK flying europas have
fitted one I believe (Graham has). The factory have recommended
fitting two, one on the fin and one under the fuzz, just behind and to
the side of the main u/c. (in writing. If you dont ask... - thanks
factory ;-) ).
Go for it!
re. the gull wing doors, If the europa worries you, dont
fly in a Slingsby T67. Alternatively, carry one of those
'life hammers' in your plane - i will.
(for those who dont know, they are small pointed-end
hammers, sold in most large DIY stores, for shattering
double glazed windows or car windscreens in emergencies
or if you wish to break in. A few well struck blows
should break the perspex enough to exit the a/c. They
also have a protected blade in the handle to cut
straps.)
chus, dave
