Hi Richard,
Don't worry, Europas are being advertised in the Kit Planes buyers
directory now for $37 to $38K. I paid what I paid 4 years ago and I was
being a little general in the statement. It was around $26 before FWF
and any other extra items.

weight & balance and to wait out the inspection time.
