Yes, mine was very much off. It was just went the old Europa was going out.
They were supposed to send me a new one. Never happened. Last year at Sun n
Fun, Andy remembered it and the New Europa 04 sent me a new one no charge.
Very nice of them to do it.
Yes it is held in with two bolts and locktight. It should be straight
vertical.

Subject: Europa-List: Nose gear assembly twisted
Hallo group,
I am just about ready to mount my nose gear. Going to some web sites to
see what others have done I noticed that Dean Seitz's nose gear was
twisted about 2.9 deg to the left (in direction of the flight). I
checked mine and it is 1.0 deg twisted to the left. I wonder if some
twist to the left is intentional and if so , how much? If not, I wonder
what other have done in order to correct it since this is set in place
by Europa and bonded in with what looks like loctite and secured with an
AN bolt across.
