There's not much to share; it's mainly as for the mono, plus bits of the tri.
So: Takeoff with 15-18 deg flap. Initial part of the TO run with stick held back to pin the tailwheel to the ground. Then raise tail to increase tail surface effectiveness and to reduce TO distance, but balanced with unloading the mains if ground is draggy (soft, wet, long grass, etc). Sometimes full flap for the initial part of the TO can assist in unloading the mains on exceptionally soft ground. On long firm surfaces, flapless take off will expedite overall departure.
Land three-point with full flap. Depending where your axle line is in comparison to CVG, wheeler landings are usually not possible, but useful to be able to do if the brakes need to be applied early.
Everything else is easier than mono or tri, and the fuselage doesn't fall over when the wings are taken out!

Im nearing the completion of my conventional gear XS Europa S/N A011. Im trying to make an Operational Manual for this aircraft. Im utilising the POH documents provided by The Europa Club - they offer three variants - Mono, Trigear, and Glider wings.
Europa has advised me that it's best I base my Manual on the Mono document - however, Im having trouble determining the correct take-off and landing procedure for this airframe - due to the flaps being independent of the fixed landing gear.
Im hoping that some kind owner/builder with a conventional wheel aircraft wouldn't mind sharing their Manual with me.
Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.
Best regards to all
