Dear Warren
Thanks for your enthusiasm! It is appreciated, and will be a source of
motivation
for our team - I will take your e-mail to work and show the rest of the
rest of the guys.
Staying up to date should be no problem, just watch http://www.wilksch.com. We
will put up news of the flight tests of course.
Our Europa is a classic updated to 1370lb with the G-FLIGHT tail wheel mod so
it's
almost an XS.
Best of luck finishing your XS.
Very best regards............MARK WILKSCH

Mark & gang,
I've just received the info pack on this fabulous and exciting new engine.
If it's anywhere as good as it sounds in the brochures, I have solved the much
daunting question of what to power my Europa XS with. I am of course doublly
delighted that you are using this particular aircraft as your development bed.
120 h.p. is exactly what I was looking for. I was trying to figure out how
to put a reasonably economical fuel injected motor into the front bit. I was
gratified to find out that there is no possibility of any icing in the engine.
All the concerns of putting the standard engines, which are horribly outdated
technology into my creation was disturbing.
I don't expect to be ready for engine selection until about 2001 at least.
I would be very much interested in being kept up to date with any news if
you
have time. If it's too time wasting to do so, don't worry... You just keep
working on this engine to get it perfect, and I'll check in from time to time.
Congratulations on having the inspiration, the drive and the ability to do
what so many of us were hoping 'someone' would do.
Best wishes,
Warren Webb
