I am 6 foot (and shrinking) but I find the hi-top to be a really good idea
- besides the extra room (I also did the extra width kit), it feels much ro
omier. My Europa is the same interior width as the Mooney I fly, but feels
much more roomy. My wife also prefers flying in the Europa because of the r
oom. It is also faster than the regular Europa - Bud Yerly, who has built n
umerous 912S powered Europa's says the same thing - mine is the fastest 912
S he has flown. Flat out at a 1000 feet I get 137 knots. I have heard simil
ar reports from other high tops. Doesn't make sense as cross section is lar
ger, but aeronautics is a black art. When I am in a regular Europa I feel l
ike I am flying a 1957 Porsche Speedster with the top up. The room may be t
here, but I am always bending my neck to see out the windshield. The extra
2.5 inches or so is really worth while.
On the cracked frames - didn't we glue in reinforcement tubes inside the f
rame during the build? I remember doing so but not sure if it was the top o
r bottom arms. I don't have a manual handy - has anyone else noticed that t
he weight of all the notebooks and auxiliary material almost equals the dry
weight of the Europa?

From: "Remi Guerner" <air.guerner@orange.fr>
I sent a request for quote by e-mail on Saturday 8, got a response from Kar
en on
Monday 10, placed my order, then got another e-mail saying the goods were s
hipped
on Tuesday 11. That is an excellent service from Europa Aircraft.
Parts received this morning: 11 days for travelling from the UK to France,
that's
long but not Europa's fault.
The products (red silicone hoses for the XS radiator) looks great, excellen
t quality.
