Raimo
Congratulations and may your first flight go well.
Just a thought, the Europa mono is not the same as any other airplane
when it's on the ground and moving. You would be wise to be sure that
the first flight pilot is current on type. You need to remember that if
anything is not quite right only a current pilot will see it quickly
enough to avoid a mishap. Even a broken prop is expensive.

wrong really. Did all the Rotax recommended oil priming, and it started
on less then a half rotation of the prop. And that by 6 C outside temperature.
Boy, this feels good, now i have to put the brakes on myself not to hurry to
finish the hundreds of things still to do before first flight. But it won't be
long!
