I agree. I am flying but have done the top tubes during my build. I plugged t
he bottom tubes with silicone sealant to prevent airflow from the engine com
partment but could clean it out of the call came to do this.
On a side note, when is the best time, weather wise to visit NZ? We have a S
candinavian trip scheduled this summer but are looking past that.

merous 912S powered Europa's says the same thing - mine is the fastest 912S h
e has flown. Flat out at a 1000 feet I get 137 knots. I have heard similar r
eports from other high tops. Doesn't make sense as cross section is larger, b
ut aeronautics is a black art. When I am in a regular Europa I feel like I a
m flying a 1957 Porsche Speedster with the top up. The room may be there, bu
t I am always bending my neck to see out the windshield. The extra 2.5 inche
s or so is really worth while.

the weight of all the notebooks and auxiliary material almost equals the dr
