Hi folks,



I finally uploaded my first video to You Tube. What better than a video 

of me flying my Europa!

Interesting to see how little weight there is on the main wheel during the

landing, even quite far in to the landing run. This is evidenced by the gap

between the wheel and fuselage underside compared to the same in the footage

both just after takeoff and when taxiing.

Video can not be watched in Germany due to copyright of the used sound track.

Hi Martin,

Loved the video. Your completed project and website so many years ago is another example that helped me press on to finish mine. Thanks so much. I'm really enjoying this thing called Europa. 

BTW, just curious, is your landing gear "rubber shock block" made of the black rubber or the red?

Hi Troy,



Thanks for the compliments. Yes, I had one of the first 'builder' 

websites around 1997 time-frame and  I'm glad it help inspire you to 

finish yours. Unfortunately a few years back Compuserve decided not to 

provide free web hosting anymore and turned off the service without 

warning. The video footage was actually made about 8 years ago by an 

enthusiastic videographer and he did a good job. He let me have the VHS 

tape of what he took and I recently downloaded and converted it into a 

format I could edit and put music to. Some day I'd like to get myself 

one of those GoPro HD cameras and mount it on various places around the 

aircraft - just takes time and money - just like my EFIS upgrade (which 

was put on the backburner after the bill for my wifes dental implant 

came in ($4,500)  :-0 )!!



I had the original red rubber block - the one that had the mod in which 

you added a ply spacer and cut the vee's. After 50+ days of 100 deg F 

heat this summer I noticed the aircraft was sitting very low and sure 

enough the shock block was very squished and needed replacing - did good 

for ten years though. Replacement was pretty straightforward and a lot 

easier than I thought. I'm attaching some photos of the old block next 

to the new which I thought were quite funny. The aircraft sits back up 

where it should now.



Regards,

Martin Tuck
