I just got confirmation that the Europa forum is scheduled for Thursday, April 7 at 12:00 Noon in room CFAA-02.  This is an opportunity to meet others and exchange ideas and experiences.



Hope to see you there!

Sun N Fun is getting closer.  We’d like to use this thread for everyone coming to the show.



We have reserved room CFAA-02 on Thursday, April 7 at noon for the Europa Forum. There is no formal presentation planned, it’s primarily to gather as a group and share experiences.



Most years there has been a dinner (“Engineering Meeting”) one evening at Hooters. This year it will be Thursday evening at 6 pm. Hooters is located at 3437 South Florida Avenue. Please respond to this thread if you plan to come. Transportation from the airport to the restaurant can be provided for those that fly in, but we need to know how many need this. We’ll post transportation coordination details on this thread and they will be available at Bud’s display. If you will have a car and can help with transportation, please post that too.



Bud Yerly is displaying as Airmaster in space N-055. Many Europa flyers will visit his display from time to time. You can also sign up for the Engineering Meeting there.



Heather and I expect to fly down for the week and camp in Homebuilt Camping. We can be contacted at the show at 269-849-9565.



Post your cell number on this thread if you wish.



Hope to see many of you there.

I think I got it now in the correct thread.



Hi Jim,



I am planning to be there on Thursday. Whether I will take my Europa there will depend on weather. Will you be parked at HBC?



Also, I plan to be a part of the dinner. Can't confirm if I will have transportation or not just yet.



Best Regards,

Chris

We decided to drive due to weather.  So we’ll arrive late Tuesday and camp in regular camping not Homebuilt camping.  See you Wednesday and Thursday.

Jim, good to see you will be there. 



Bud described the upcoming weather in his email very well. Unfortunately, the weather forecast looks OK except for exactly Thursday.



As he said, I am also just going to look out the window on Thursday and make a last minute decision regarding flying or driving.



But I will be there for sure so count me in.



But I really wanted to show of my new baby

Had a good time yesterday meeting some of the Europa aviators at SnF. Too bad the weather didn't help but still it was worth it for me. 



Flying there tomorrow is out of the question, too windy (at least for my taste). But Sunday looks like a fantastic day so I will probably fly there Sunday, if for no other reason that to say I did fly my airplane to SnF 2022 but probably nobody will be left

Evening all. Flew from the U.K. on Monday and have been in Lakeland since then. Ventured to the show on Thursday to encounter the line Squall late morning. That was fun but then eventually gave up.



Did see a Mono N96EG in the camping area, as we left the owner was paddling next to his AC, unfortunately too far to say hi. Was also a Tri gear in that section.



Will keep an eye open for any Europa's on Sunday



Regards.

So sorry you missed the forum and dinner. At the forum one owner shared photos of the fuel tank he built to replace the original which cracked. He was able to avoid cutting the door rebates and increased fuel capacity. Other discussion included tips concerning insurance, how much fun and economical our Europas are to fly. Dinner gave us the chance to get to know each other a bit better and share more Europa experiences.
