Hello all,
Im just hoping you will allow me a little self-indulgence. My Europa XS, after well over 2 decades of building, of which the last nine years were with me, my little girl finally took the sky on her maiden flight. It was a very happy moment for all involved. I posted the event on YouTube for those who might want to have a look.

Hi Tony and congratulations on your first flight. Can you tell us more about the landing gear setup, is that a Berube setup?

Hi - this mainwheel setup came with the partially built kit that came from Georgia USA. Yes its Berube type but I dont know too much about the specs.
So far its working well but it is a little springy so you have to watch our rate of descent went landing otherwise it tends to bounce very easily.

Your story is a reminder that anything is possible with dedication and a little self-indulgence

Hi Tony; planning to fly 181 down coast before christmas. Wanting to know if there is pump gas available at or near to The Oaks field? Might there be any hangar space available at the field to rent for five or so days? Cheers, 51
