To All.
Over the last 16 years I have been the US Europa Dealer for the US/North
America. It has been a wonderful trip. I now am 67 and it is time for
me to retire and get away from the 7 day a week shop grind and do some
of that envious travel that you all get to do. As we all know, and
frankly the factory admits, the Europa has had a 25 year run. The
factory will no longer support dealers, but still supply new kits and
replacement parts on much of the aircraft. Foam cores and some older
parts are no longer supported (read Classic and non NG XS cores) but the
ever hard working Karen Pool and her assistants will be there to supply
new parts/mods and spares as needed. The new 2018 parts catalogue is
out, and orders can be placed with the factory directly through Karen.
I believe I sold the last two new factory kits some years ago and in
this day of internet sales, the factory will be your source for parts
and new kits as well as the source for all factory technical support.
The good news is the factory has the molds in tip top shape should the
fiberglass formed parts or kits be needed.
I will still be a Europa owner and as active as I can be on the
matronics list and with the Europa Club. I am keeping open Custom
Flight Creations, Inc. in my Seffner shop and at the Plant City Airport
for the time being. I will also keep active as the Airmaster Dealer in
the US and will be active at Sun =98n Fun for the foreseeable
future, opening new markets for Airmaster and selling propellers and
supporting the Europa Club as long as I can. With the termination of my
Europa Aircraft dealer status, I will no longer be inhibited by
non-compete clauses and as such can now suggest alternate parts sources
and procedures for the US owners. Those of you in the UK and other
countries, which have more restrictive parts and modifications
restrictions, you will always be supported by the factory and of course
the excellent guidance of the Europa Club and its relationship with the
LAA.
Please watch my website www.customflightcreations.com
<http://www.customflightcreations.com/> over the next weeks and months
as many of my ideas, techniques, tech articles, spare part sources,
tools and rigs will be modified and new ones printed on line to allow
the Europa Community to share in the things I have learned and done over
the years which I could not share in the past. I will continue to give
paid builder support in my shop for this year. For those aircraft
builders who desire a continuous relationship with me during their build
in their shop, for a nominal fee (if I charge at all) I will assist them
in their build remotely, as Facetime, Skype, Video Calling etc. are all
viable ways to keep in touch where I can see exactly what the builder is
working with. I plan to keep the shop open as long as my landlord
doesn=99t close on me for the near future. Anita and I will be
taking quite a few trips over the next few months, and into the fall and
Xmas time frame for sure, so I will post a calendar on my site to keep
you appraised of slots that may be open for those of you in need of
hands on assistance physically in my shop or are attempting to build in
a more comfortable environment than your dark, dank hangar in winter.
I=99m glad to now just be one of those =C3=A2=82=AC=C5=93specs=C3
=A2=82=AC=C2=9D owners, with a bit more hands on experience than the
average guy and somewhat more opinionated.
Best Regards,
Bud and Anita Yerly
