Kevin,
As a Member of the Europa Club you should be receiving the Europa Flyer
in which is contained the report on Ivan's presentation ( as well as a
fantastic photo montage of Flying to Kitty Hawk by Troy and Donna
Maynor).
I have been trying to persuade our Treasurer (who shot a video of the
presentation) to get it on You Tube or whatever but he has a Europa to
build (which we keep on nagging him to finish)so he is finding time
difficult to edit the video.
Regards
Steve Pitt
Chairman, Europa Club

Frans (and other newer members),
you may may want to read the great report of Ivan's presentation at
the last AGM in the last newsletter - what a great read! Quite the
history lesson (with Graham's contribution included I believe).
Cheers,

Wow! I didn't even think about an override and the leverage! 400Kg
is a
lot for that poor hinge! Which brings up the question why the
standard
construction is even certified... Or why this mod didn't get
incorporated in the standard kit long time ago.

Just putting the mod somewhere burried onto the website isn't
going to
attract many customers... It took a while before I discovered its
existence, and it took me a while to realize the benefits of this
mod.

I think as a relatively newcomer I miss some history here. So you
built
a long EZ?
Thanks for inventing this mod 77.
