Congrats Kevin,
Hope that the out of trim is only the left flap a little higher than the
right. A tiny shim between the flap tube and cockpit module, just
enough to move the flap down a 64th on the flap TE is all it takes to
clear that up. You'll find more out during the stalls and rig checks
higher up.
Enjoy,
Bud Yerly

Hi All,
I am very happy to announce the first flight of Europa Mono Kit A211
on
4/23/08.
Test Pilot was Bob Lindsay after an inspection and weight&balance by
Kim
Prout.
I can not possibly thank those gentleman enough!
Some facts about N211KA and first flight
Intercooled 914
Airmaster prop
Alternator on vac pump pad
Empty CG 59.25"
First Flight CG 60"
Empty Weight 886 lbs.
VSO 43 KIAS
VX 61
VY 75
First Flight total weight 1118 lbs.
Bishop airport, California
Right wing heavy when flown solo, and just a touch heavy with two up.
Engine and Prop perform just perfectly together. Temps are all good on
the ground and in the pattern. OAT was only around 70 F, so I may have
issues in typical high summer heat around here.
Awesome little airplane
Kevin
