All
I proudly let you know my Europa XS Monowheel OH-XRT
has been chosen to be as The Experimental of The Year 2007
and me personally to be as The Builder of The Year 2007
in Finland by Finnish EAA in Jami Flyin last Saturday.
They pointed it´s unusual high finishing quality and its many small details.
All the main Finnish newspapers noticed the event and for example
Aamulehti "morning news", which is the 2nd largest news paper in the
country wrote a full page story of my Europa with many colour pics.
I think in future in Finland there will be more than two Europas!
There were visiting 9000 peoples and about 100 planes,
also one from England (wonderful Extra 300 G-EXEA).
All the planes had also a very rare possibility to land to the
emergency langing site, which was actually a bit of
highway. It was also a homebase for one DC3 during that
magical weekend.
Check www.jamiflyin.com
The pages will be updated soon.
Why not add it to your next summer schedule?
It is only one hour from Helsinki to the EFJM by Europa
and overall feeling is like it is in Barkaby Fly Inn in Sweden.
I will attach a pic of XRT with a victory trophy and some others.
My wife strictly ordered me to write I have promised her
to repaint the spinner to cream asap. In her mind it is spoiling the
whole plane and I have to guess she is right because she usually is.
What do you think?
Welcome 2008, Raimo

Raimo,
Congratulations to you and your aircraft. I think we can all stand a little taller and more proud when one of "our" planes tops the list of all in an entire country.
Do you have any pix of you panel? Is the underside of your aircraft really painted dark? Black, blue, brown? Any reasoning for this?

Mike
Thank you.
I think Europa-owners are today the tallest pilots ever.
And still growing...
Attaced a panel pic - it was not completed half year ago.
I should take a more vendible pic some day.
The underside colour is really dark, RAL colour named unusual blackred
(looks sometimes black, sometimes brown and sometimes purple).
The wing undersides and tailplane undersides has been painted like triangle
- so Lady Windmaker Tuuli-Ilmatar looks like a bird when flying over.
Reason: The main reason to exist for OUR Europa XRT is to be beautiful.
We thought double colour underlines Europa Mono´s beautiful shape.
We do not like any strips or stars...
And if you can have white planes there in California, we can definetely fly here by
cream colour plane (we fly most of the time top up of course)! Sun is so
rare visitor here, unfortunately.

Mike –
In re: dark paint
Don’t even think about it. Where we live and fly, on warm days the heat reflected off the ramp will be sufficient to soften the epoxy-fiberglass enough to reduce the strength of the structure. Sure it will be OK at altitude but you still have to climb away from the surface. Folks flying closer to the Arctic Circle don’t have to worry about getting the airframe too hot.
Best regards,

IThanks for yours pictures, I see the panel picture, you install the dynon efis behind the gear lever, do you see correctly the screen in flight? and do you have complete acces to the buttons also in flight?

Cheers Michael and Bob
Both of you wanted to see more
OH-XRT´s panel pics.
Please click a link below
http://www.ilmailu.org/gallery/thumbnails.php?album=18&page=6
and you will find 16 of them (pages 6 & 7).
Michael:
Yes - my Dynon is behing the gear lever.
And I do have complete access to the buttons
and the screen is clearly visible.
In fact this hole is like designed for little Dynon
- Ivan Shaw must be a really prognosticator when designing the Europa panel!
Advantage: The screen is also in a good shadow and so more readable.
Disadvantage: you have to make a hole to the firewall, because
Dynon´s ass (D-connector) must protrude through it about 2" = 50 mm.
Otherwise it is impossible to retract the gear. I learned it by very hard way!
I covered the hole and the connector by stainless steel box.
Wishes, Raimo
