Hey Hey!!! Great stuff!
Pity I missed the event..... I'll have to bring the bubbly down the next time I
make it down your way!
Woo Hoo! Just terrific - The Ontario gaggle is born. Now we just need Dave,
Ferg
and myself to get in the air (errr, I guess I should get started ;-).
Does 5 make a 'squadron'? Apologies for the enthusiasm, but Europas are a rare
breed here in Canada.
Blue skies,

Subject: Europa-List: C-FIRS First Flight
Finally, Ser. # 392 trigear made its first flight today, piloted by
Chris
Staines, who came a long way
from London, Ontario in his own beautiful and well equipped 914 powered
Classic Mono. He took
off and made a perfect landing as if there was nothing to it.
Everything
seems to work and she
flies straight and level, what more can you ask for.
Built in the UK and more or less finished in October 2001, it took
another
19 months to get to the maiden flight in Canada, I believe it is Europa
No.
2 in Ontario.
Looking forward to an exciting summer, and the glider wings are next
(already in the basement).
Cheers, Karl
