Ken,
I only flew the Europa once and am a low time pilot so my opinion might not
be as valuable as most. But I think if youre looking for economy and a fun
airplane. Nothing compares to the Europa. I am just about finished with my
airframe. I jump started it at Flight-Crafters in Florida then towed it back
here to Nashville to finish it. My only complaint with Europa is the manual
is in need of up grading and short on drawings. There are simply better ways
and better times of doing things than described. This forum is great and
being able to e-mail the factory is good, but I really am glad to be able to
check in with Bob at flight crafters. As far as the planes performance for
the dollar, and view from the cockpit, nothing compares! I would strongly
recomend this airplane to anyone. Oh and did I say it looks great!
Youre welcome to visit if you want to fly to MQY Smyrna Tennessee. We are
just outside of Nashville.
