Hello Rick,
I'm sorry to hear about your accident and also wish you a speedy recovery from
your injuries.
I find it frightening, that the occupants get trapped in the cockpit when the
Europa
flips over. In one of the last issues of the Europa Flyer there was also
a report of a forced landing of a Europa Trigear with subsequent flip over after
an engine failure and the pilot also at least had his difficulties with escaping
the cockpit. I assume it's a similar problem with all low wing aircraft,
the Europa maybe even slightly better with the gull-wing doors compared to a
one piece canopy.
Regards
