Hi Stephen,
We have a mono-wheel XS that we have been flying for over 5 years. We
keep the plane at Livermore airport, and would be glad to show it to
you, and give you a chance to sit in it, or go for a flight if you like
and the weather permits.
regards,
Terry Seaver
N135TD

Subject: Europa-List: Perspective Europa XS purchase - Questions for the
group
Hello All,
I am considering the purchase of a completed and flying Europa XS. I
have corresponded with the seller and exchanged information, pictures,
etc, everything looks fine so far. We are separated by several states
and thus I don't have the option of driving over to see the airplane in
person. My remaining concern is if I can fit comfortably in the
airplane. I am 6', tall in the torso, sitting bolt upright on the floor
I measure my head at 38". My weight is 210 lbs. I have read what I could
find on this e-mail list as well as the Internet and the concensus is
that 6' - 6' 1" is about max height for comfort. I would appreciate any
additional input from current flyers / builders.
I can't find the specific measurements of the cockpit from seat bottom
to top of the cockpit, nor am I able to find the amount of recline the
seatback has. Both would have been useful to make some measurements
against and get a better approximation as to how much room there is in
the cockpit. Anyone have these or can point me to a source?
My previous airplane was a Lancair 320 which appears to have about the
same amount of shoulder and head room as the Europa XS? Also, I live in
Northern California, Cameron Park, so if there is anyone near me or in
the Bay Area building or has a completed XS I would appreciate the
opportunity to try the airplane on for size. Also, any Europa XS CFI's
in the area?
I really admire the Europa and to me it is the ultimate airplane with a
great balance of features and efficiency. Of course I need to fit in the
airplane comfortably!
Thank's in advance for your help!
Regards,
Steven
