Mike, Great to hear that another Europa has taken flight. It sounds as
if you have had very good technical support and that she is a good'un.
For the Club records can you confirm the date of first flight and the
empty weight please.
Regards and well done.

Chairman, Europa Club

On a lovely day for flight testing at Sandtoft G-MLXP as completed it
maiden flight with Brian Fogg at the helm. In a ll Brian did two flights
with a shake down between. Only slight problem with Radio but soon
sorted. Nevelle those crawls really do work no sign of any heating
problems. Looking forward to getting the full test program completed.
The gear works very well and Brian greased the first landing. Thanks To
Bob Hallam and Roy Clarke for doing all the inspection work for me. I'm
So So pleased to see XP flying. Miles
Did a great job rigging, no trims needed at this stage Brian said she
trimmed up fine ailerons level and very little rudder required.
