For the Europa, the main problem could be how FAA is going to enforce
the 120-knot limit, unless you go with 80HP. Without enforcement,
there will be much cheating on existing experimentals and future 51%
experimental builds. I think they saw this coming, as they originally
said no ground-adjustable propeller. The final rule backed off on
that for unrelated reasons I suspect, so time will soon tell how they
will verify top speed. Merely having your prop bolts sealed by a
member of the clergy won't be enough. :-)
