May I suggest:

Lee Omerick
2109 Oakwood Drive
Valrico, FL  33594
(813) 681-3907 Home
(813) 924-7070 Cell

Lee is ex-air force and used to work for Europa USA doing training and
demos.  He does not have an aircraft to fly so you will need to bring one to
the party.

Fellow Europaphiles,

OK, let's stop dancing around the subject and lay it out on the table where
everyone can have at it.

Is there anyone out there who can provide transition training for someone
about to complete their monowheel??

If there is, speak up please!

This is the real issue, TRANSITION TRAINING in the EUROPA MONOWHEEL.

I expect that I'll have N914XL ready to fly in August or September.   
I would love for someone out there to provide me a few hours of transition
training.  If you are commercially rated and a CFI, I'd be happy to pay
reasonable aircraft rental and instructor rates.  In addition, you'd
probably get a couple good steak dinners in the deal.

I am an instrument rated, commercial pilot.  (No I do not fly for a
living) I have past experience in an Aeronca Champ (7BCM, 85 HP) and Super
Cub (PA18, 125 HP).  I am presently receiving currency instruction in a
Super Decathlon.  I expect that I will also have some experience in a
Citabria and a Little Toot Biplane by the time N914XL will be ready to fly.

Somewhere along the way, I'm going to do a first flight in my Europa
Monowheel.  Whether someone else flies it first or not, I'm still going to
have to do a first flight of my own.  I'd sure like to have some decent
instruction or experience first.

If you are willing to provide transition training, but aren't ready to let
the whole Europa world know, contact me off-line by phone or personal
e-mail.  If you don't want publicity, I promise not to tell anyone about
you.

Good building and great flying to all,
Bob Borger
