It's hi time a Wilksch was flying, it was December '99 when the first
engine lifted a Europa off the ground. (I was left seat and Mark Wilksch
was right. It was foggy so we only went as high as 10 feet.)Can't
believe its taken so long
Just make sure CG is not too far forward so you don't run out of
elevator authority on landing

another Peter who has built with the Wilksch. Good idea with the way fuel
