David,
we are going to use about all together about 5000
liters of fuel (AvGas 100LL) to get thye type
rating and to fly it home. I assume we need also
oil some 200 liters or so.
It spent 10-15 times more than Europa /hour and
20-25 times more than Europa /nm. I am worried
about those green people...do not tell them
(children omboard).

Raimo, That's fantastic! Very envious!.
Went with the Europa flyout to Pague
into
Benesov in 2000 where we we shown round one
without the
double beds. Seem to remember them telling us that
it used
just about the same amount of oil as petrol, so
hope you
will have the odd drum with you.
Best of luck, David Joyce, G- XSDJ
