Hi Folks,

Got the following posting on EuropaOwners. If anyone can help Richard out please swing by and post a reply. If you don't want to post you can email him, follow the bellow link and click his email button. I didn't want to repost his email address without permission. 

Thanks, Steved

I am in the process of finishing my PPL and am interested in buying a Europa tri-gear to build at home. So far I have emailed Europa four times and phoned once in a effort to get some info on were I can see a Europa in the Flesh, so far Europa has not made contact with me. I lived in Eastbourne, East Sussex. UK Can anyone help me or know of any shows that a Europa Plane may be so I can get a closer look? Also the lack of contact from Europa is a bit worrying, is anying having a problem getting help from Europa with problems once you have purchased a Plane from them.Richard

Hi

There are a few Europa's at Laddingford which is not to far away from Eastbourne. Tell him to email me and arrange a date to visit. I have a tri gear.

Hi Kevin,               I'm up in Oxford, but often down in Poole sailing. I have a Europa all in bits and just re validating my licence and have been flying off and on since 18 now 56 ! Is it that long !! I also have aLong ez.   I have been in contact with Europa and have to say slow to respond but told that kits and parts are available off the shelf.

 I am changing the undercarriage to trigear and 914 Rotax turbo engine with a wood comp prop  All agents from all three companies responded and forwarded details as requested. 

I like you am a little concerned about the level of activity on the Forums and general interest in Europa aircraft, I put it down to the lull before the storm! Boating and sailing is the same this is obvious by the lack of support by customers at the boat shows. little or no spare money and worried about the economic climate  Great time to buy a plane or build one! 

The  Europa is ..... in my view the best 2 seater light aircraft for the UK Market  and my reasons are simple to built to a high standard and options of engines, Rotax in my view as the best option engine on the market for Europa and three or four prop options.  I can confirm after flying 19+ different types of light singles over the years, Europa in the currant and future market will continue to be a favored mount of many!  How many Light aircraft can be taken home on a trailer and kept in a garage ? Till the next flight ? I don't encourage strip downs between flights, but it is an option to take it home and do repairs services and mods in the comfort of your own garage so you can cook dinner and do the washing, hoovering and the ironing all at the same time, Us guys must multi-task with man options! 



Excellent support also from the LAA and its website.  Contact Andy Draper In Engineering He is X Europa Aircraft and a great knowledge on all matters light aircraft and aspects of and I have found him always willing to help and always enthusiastic.  Also fellow members once contacted.  Join the Europa club it will give you a list of members local to you, builders as well as flyers on their data base but like Europa Aircraft it is a little slow to update its data as it's all run by Owners/builders who all have jobs or don't need the contact or support as their planes are flying or still in bits or got board with the idea/dream of building a Europa, I'm sure there are a few kits in garages and enough parts to build 10 more ! Laying around

Sorry to hear you're getting a poor response from Europa - our recent 

experiences have been less than favourable too - Poor response to 

enquiries and when we bought some exhaust parts, they had been 

fabricated incorrectly, didn't fit and would have needed welding to 

make them fit (things have gone very wrong since Roger and John went).



If yo don't get a positive response from Europa, a friend of mine has a 

complete, unstarted kit that he may well part with - let me know if you 

want his contact details - I'm sure he would part with it for a very 

fair price 



Peter

<?xml:namespace prefix="v" /><?xml:namespace prefix="o" /><![endif]-->  Steve,

 Love to forward to the company and get some action.  I'm sure the UK  folks will come to the rescue.

 How's your project going?  

 By the way, I teach my new guys your torque techniques.  (Tight, Tight  Tight, No Sh-t Tight.)

  

 Regards,

 Bud
