Kyle-
Welcome to the group. One of the greatest advantages of the Europa is our
Builder
Community. I'm sure you'll enjoy it as much as you will your airplane. Glad
to have you.

Subject: Europa-List: New Europa owner
Just wanted to stop by and say I have joined the ranks of Europa owners and
recently
purchased an Europa kit that has been in the building process form around
2000. It was tucked away in a hanger in FL. I hope to get her flying in a couple
of years. Right now she is a monowheel but I will be turning her into a tri-gear
soon. I already have the tri-gear kit minus a few parts (MG02, main gear
sockets, and some nose gear fork components). I'll be also looking for a 912USL
soon.
A little of my background, I'm Kim Prout's nephew and helped him build N111EU
back
in '96. Flew to Oshkosh and meet Ivan Shaw there where he picked up the some
of the first new tail wheels for conversions. I have spent many hours in 111EU
and fell in love with her. It was amazing and a huge learning experience to
watch my Uncle and Grandpa come up with ideas while building 111EU. I'm an ERAU
graduate that flew in the Navy for a few years and now hopes to return to
the air soon.
