Hi,
I have built a mono Europa from scratch and then flew it for some 1,800 hrs
.
I had previously flown many types of gliders and light aircraft, amassing
about 700 hrs power and 1,500 hrs gliding. I was a fully categorised glidin
g
instructor and have spent 10 yrs as a class rated power instructor for the
Light Aero Association in the UK.
I only mention the above so that you have some idea of the validity of what
I am about to say.
The Mono Europa is not an easy aircraft to land or take off safely. In the
hands of an 'above average experience' pilot with tail dragger hours the
Mono is a delight to fly but challenging. The Mono is definitely not
suitable for early training. Be careful also as I am led to believe that
getting insurance cover for a Mono in the USA is between difficult and
impossible.
Bearing in mind that you appear to already have the kit I would strongly
urge you to consider building it as a Tri-Gear. Unfortunately this would
involve you in some more expense, but it is a much more user friendly
aircraft to fly.
If you continue to build as a Mono then it is only a matter of time, after
completion, before an incident will occur and whoever was flying it will be
put off flying for life.
One last recommendation is to power the aircraft with the engine it was
designed for, ie Rotax 912 or 914.=C2- Many alternative engines have been
installed in the past but each requires a different 'fire wall forward' kit
.
Only the Rotax series of engines can be fitted with the Europa Aircraft
standard kit. The Rotax engine powers most Europas world wide and has prove
d
to be very reliable.=C2- This last comment cannot be said for certain oth
er
Engines.
If you have need for any further communication then please ask.
Best regards and good wishes for your very commendable project

--> <idea.innovations@live.com>
Good Morning Everyone on the Europa List
The Camden Youth Aviation Program has recently acquired a partially
completed mono-wheel Europa kit which it will be building with with the
middle and high school students of LEAP Academy
(http://www.leapacademycharter.org/).Once built it is our hope that the
young people who helped to build the aircraft would be able to take flight
lessons in the aircraft.
We are looking for volunteers in the Camden, NJ, Greater Philadelphia and
Wilmington, DE areas who have experience building the Europa to help lead
this project and to work with our young people.=C2- We are also hoping th
at
builders who have completed their aircraft would consider donating their no
longer needed tools to us.
The Camden Youth Aviation Program tries to show the young people of Camden
and Southern NJ all aspects of aviation and that there is more to life than
what they see in their neighborhoods.=C2- Also by introducing them to avi
ation,
we are hoping to give them something to dream about and to inspire them to
rise above the limits of their environment.=C2- The program is open to al
l
Camden and Southern NJ youth who are interested in aviation.=C2- Particip
ation
in the Camden Youth Aviation Program is not limited to any one group or
organization, but welcomes all young people who are interested in aviation.
Additionally, the Camden Youth Aviation Program tries to act as a resource
to schools and youth groups to make them aware of the educational aviation
resources that are available to them. The Camden Youth Aviation Program was
established under the auspices of the former Camden Police Foundation and
the Diocese of Camden's Community Relations Advisory Board.=C2- The Camde
n
Youth Aviation Pr!
ogram is incorporated as a Non-Profit Corporation in the State of NJ and i
s
a certified 501(c)3 non-profit charity.=C2- More information about the Ca
mden
Youth Aviation Program can be found on the Camden Youth Aviation Program
Facebook page and on our website at www.Camdenyap.org.
Please contact me if you have any questions about the post or if you are
willing to help us in any fashion to give inner city and under-served youth
the Dream of Flight.
I can be reached off list at camdenyouthaviation@live.com or via phone at
856-354-0173.
Thank You for your time and interest.
Sincerely,
Ira Weissman
