HELLO, MY NAME IS JAMES BROOKOVER AND I AM STILL JUST A PROSPECTIVE
EUROPA BUILDER. I FIRST SAW THE EUROPA AT SUN'N'FUN IN 1995 AND HAVE
SINCE PURCHASED THE VIDEO, SUBSCRIBED TO THE NEWS LETTER, AND EVEN TOOK
THE TEST SPIN IN G-ELSA. I DO BELIEVE I AM READY TO BUILD, HOWEVER, THIS
WOULD BE A FIRST TIME PROJECT OF THIS MAGNITUDE, SO, I AM INTERESTED
IN GETTING A FEW QUESTIONS ANSWERED BEFORE I COMMIT.
1) HERE IN THE U.S. THE DISTANCES WE TEND TO FLY WHEN CROSS COUNTRY
REQUIRE A BIT MORE THAN 120 KTS CRUISE - TO OFFER GOOD UTILITY I
WOULD BE INTERESTED IN ONE OF THE HIGHER HP ENGINES - MAYBE THE NSI
CONVERSION. IF THE ADVERTISED CRUISE OF 140 KTS IS OBTAINABLE WITH
THIS ENGINE - DOES THE EUROPA VNE OF 160 KTS PRESENT A PROBLEM?
2) ALSO, THE INCREASE IN ENGINE SIZE WOULD REQUIRE AN INCREASE IN
FUEL CAPACITY - I AM INTERESTED IN IDEAS/SOLUTIONS TO CREATING
AUX FUEL CAPACITY.
3) ARE THERE ANY BUILDERS IN THE OH/IN/PA AREA WHO I CAN TALK TO
ABOUT THEIR PROJECT?
