>>Interested in the questioning comment about difficulty in flying/landing the
europa and the number for sale after completion.<<
If there is one single key to a good landing in a monowheel Europa it is not to
allow the airplane to land until the stick is hard on the back stop. The only
other possibility is CG too far forward. Full nose down trim will give enough
extra pitch authority at a cost of higher stick load. In the air the aircraft is
excellent. Aerobatics are relatively easy although not approved in UK.
A few of the early builders spent too much money, one or two really wanted IFR
machines, also not approved. A few made their aircraft too heavy with
alternative engines, full panels and the like.
