I was talking to a prospective Europa flyer online today. He was
asking about the handling problems while on the ground of the Europa
monowheel. While I've got about 30 hours in a conventional taildragger, and
have had the chance on three occasions to fly in Kim Prout's and the factory
demonstrator, I was never asked to takeoff or land them.
But I am also aware that the monowheel takeoff and landing technique is
effectively different. Could a few of the seasoned Europa monowheel flyers on
this forum provide some qualified discussion of the these two phases of
flight? I'm sure he would appreciate it.
