The German "Oshkosh" - homebuilder gathering was held in Speyer
on Sept 3. - 5. With some five Europas on the line it was the best
represented model in the row of about 80 airplanes present.
To my surprise I received a letter yesterday from the OUV (German
EAA-chapter) containing a reward reading:
In recognition of the efforts in the field of aeroplane-building
we issue the "Oscar Ursinus Price of 1999" to Thomas Scherer
for the construction of Europa Aviation N81EU for outstanding
workmanship.
along with a cheque (my downpayment towards an Arplast VP).
Made me proud - another reward for those dark days sanding filler.
