Andrew-
I am going to Lakeland toward the end of the week for the express
purpose of asking Andy about the glider. I have a glider wing kit, and
both my wife and I are rated, but Bob B. tells me that there is
(essentially) no manual and the build is a real bear. I would really
like to see them get back into it. That is what differentiates the
Eurpoa from all of the others out there. Had we known that the support
for that version was going to be cut off, we probably would have bought
a Jabiru. Again, had we known that they were having financial problems,
we might have gone a different route too. Ain't hindsight great?

hi Dave
Thanks so much for the message about the le Touquet trip. I would have
loved
to come somehow but it's my parents' diamond wedding complete with
message
---From the Queen so I will have to mis thiss one. Remember we are going
for a
flight one day though and I'll buy the fuel!
On Friday ,long overdue, I'm bonding in the tail torque tube, with help
---From
Roger Sheridan. he's a lovely chap. I got a bit bogged down building a
jig but
I'm glad I did as it all looks more organized now.
In early March Viv and I went up to Yorkshire and called in at Europa
of
course. It was all uncannily the same . I bought a few bits and pieces
and had a
nice chat with Andy.
I raised the subject of the glider version but the inevitable answer is
they
just dont have time or money to re start the testing needed ....I wonder
if
you've any thoughts as how one might re kindle club interest in the
'glider' .
As you know I find it heart breaking that such performance potential is
being
neglected....
Anyway have a wonderful day, and thanks again for your help with the
module!
All the best,
Andrew
