Hello Kyle,
Welcome to the family, I am sure that you will find building and flying your
Europa as rewarding as your uncle Kim, talking of which the E mail address
that I have for him does not appear to be correct!! Can you let me have his
contact details?
Kindest Regards
Ivan

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.
Kyle
