Alan,
All flying tails are powerful, easy to trim, simple to construct and
give excellent pilot feedback and can increase the CG range. But not
intuitively obvious as to their design.
Barn door hinges on stabilizer/elevator are OK too, can be lighter,
easier to mount, but require more area in many cases based on CG range
and tail power required, and when balanced, are as heavy as a flying
tail. At the extremes of the CG range, the drag is higher on this
control surface than a stabilator.
I will stick to stabs.
Bud

Nothing wrong with all flying tails, essential on the Europa to
control the change in pitch moment when the very powerful flaps are
lowered. Less built in headwind too.

Hello, Frans,Bud,Dave.
Thank you all for your inputs,
Bud ,some nice photo,s your trailer looks like pretty Strong, I Hope i
never need a trailer for recovering my Europa from a field.
I have bought my Europa mainly for local flying in the UK, it would be
nice to fly in Europe, but if i had a problem with the aircraft away
---From home it would cost to much for me.
I purposely purchased a Europa as the wings could be detached and the
aircraft stored off the Field, if needs be and money became short, the
Europa fills this requirement.
However i hate all flying Tailplane's, they belong to jet fighters
which can take lots of G.
I want a trailer Hanger, also to load nose first as i don,t want all
the weight at the far end. (a good point about the Spats ,Frans)
My concern was where to connect the tow line to the aircraft, to me
the upper main gear seems to be the strongest point, but i see many are
using the nose wheel with out any problems, so maybe i will use this
point
to attach too.
Regards
Alan
