First Flight N241BW
Europa XS N241BW, A185 took to the skies Sunday, Oct 2, 2005 at 1615 Zulu. Jim
flew the plane for about 10 minutes, basically around the pattern. It handles
and flies nicely! We do have some cooling issues to address. Jim & Heather
will take turns completing the 40 hrs of flight test.
For Rowland ... the flight took place at Almena Airport, Michigan (2C5). It
weighs
in at 960 lbs (heavier than we had hoped).

Congratulations and welcome to the ones who get to climb into their dream, :-)
Just be aware that its a taildragger, but different. Avoid crosswinds or other
demanding situations until you are really comfortable and keep the all up weight
down until you really know the plane and its systems. All airplanes are
different
and less forgiving when heavy.
