The pressure switch is set in such a way that it closes a
switch when the speed reaches 42 knots.
I guess this is close enough to really register flight hours (with in
mind the option to use the Europa as a motor-glider, so flight hours
might differ substantially from engine hours).

Oh yes you are more or less flying than taxiing when your speed is above 42
knots.
I assume Garmin & Trio think "hey we are flying" when the speed is above 20
knots
or so.
So, their flight hour register s not so exact than your method.
Counting flight hours only when the gear is upp means you loose let is say one
or two minutes flight hour every leg...so what!
