Hello everyone,

My name is Luc Michaud, and I have just joined the Europa-List yesterday.

I'm in the Montréal region, and work in the IT group of Bombardier Aerospace (mostly on CAD/CAM/CAE/PLM/ERP projects).

I have been involved in the aviation world early on, getting both glider and private pilot licenses even before my driver's license - thanks to the Royal Canadian Air Cadets.  Glider on Schweizer SGS 2-33's in St-Honore, private on C152 in Bromont, both in Quebec, Canada.

The idea of building my own airplane was already quite present in my mind, and I was fantatizing about eventually getting my own plane - at the time, the Quickie-2.  But, I was young, broke, and had to wait...

Wait I did...  Then in the mid 90's, as my career was taking a lot of room, I feel in love... ...with the Europa !  Zoom Campbell and all them other guys were so drooling over it, and I couldn't wait to join them, soon...

Soon was not soon enough, if you ask me, but here I am !  A few weeks ago, I looked around for which kit would now be best.  Europa and Dynaero were pretty much the 2 contenders...

Then, about 3 weeks ago, my wife convinced me that I was a better idea to fly my own airplane than spend years building it, whilst barely flying, in others' airplanes.  So off I went looking...

I found an Europa monowheel, classic, for sale, on barnstormers...  Airworthy, 300 hours TT, Rotax 912, Prince prop, bunch of mods done.
Already sent a deposit to the current owner.

Now, I'm trying to get any info that you guys may have on that airplane.  It's N202Y, built by James N Stoveken, out of Ocean Isle Beach, North Carolina, and first flew in the Spring of 1999.  I got to talk with Jim, a really great guy; he flew about 280 hours of bliss on his N202Y, before selling it about 2 years ago due to not being that young a coot anymore, and already having a great Ercoupe (Alon A2).

His prior builds included a Quickie and a Boredom Fighter, so I felt that he must have had the right stuff to build a sweet Europa.

So, now I'm trying to buy N202Y from Edward Arthur Goodman.  I gathered that the airplane is in Townsend, GA.  Mr. Goodman has had someone putting in a bunch of mods (in Florida ?), the list of which I am yet to get.  I know he got the tailwheel moved to the back, but am not certain if he got the wing mod done.  I presume he did, as he got N202Y's annual signed off in 2010/03 (your thoughts ?).

...
So now, I'm trying to get *ANY* info on N202Y...  If you've seen it, worked on it, flew it, let me know.

Also, if you live close to Savannah GA and would like to help, pls contact me so we can discuss, as I need Europa knowledge, as well as paperwork knowledge, as well as export from USA to Canada knowledge, as well as...  Sad

Finally, if you live anywhere near Montreal (Canada) and fly Europa monowheel airplanes, pls contact me.  If you are a Canada-certified flight instructor, well then I'm dreaming !
...

Best regards to this great community, which I hope I will be able to join shortly,

Luc Michaud

Hi Luc,
It's about time that we had a Quebec Europa.
In Ontario we have a tri-gear in Cornwall and a mono and tri-gear in London.
COPA or the RAA can provide info on importing, should not be a problem as the aircraft has over 100 hours.
Regards,

Dave C-FBZI

Hi Luc: Hello, and welcome!
There is also a EUROPA Classic in Nova Scotia, in Wolfville, NS, close to Halifax. This is currently the only Europa east of Montreal! Building SLOW since 14 years! Fuselage and Tail feathers completed and painted and in preparation for engine installation, instruments and interior. Most XS mods incorporated but preferred the old cowling (with the dual, expensive rads) and the huge spinner for looks. 912S and Woodcomp 3000 2 blade VP prop. Glider wing kit awaits completion once flying. Classic wings still need filling , sanding and painting later this year. We have a very nice country side airport (CCW3) 20 minutes drive from my home where I am completing the kit.
