Fellow Europaphiles,
OK, let's stop dancing around the subject and lay it out on the table
where everyone can have at it.
Is there anyone out there who can provide transition training for
someone about to complete their monowheel??
If there is, speak up please!
This is the real issue, TRANSITION TRAINING in the EUROPA MONOWHEEL.
I expect that I'll have N914XL ready to fly in August or September.
I would love for someone out there to provide me a few hours of
transition training. If you are commercially rated and a CFI, I'd be
happy to pay reasonable aircraft rental and instructor rates. In
addition, you'd probably get a couple good steak dinners in the deal.
I am an instrument rated, commercial pilot. (No I do not fly for a
living) I have past experience in an Aeronca Champ (7BCM, 85 HP) and
Super Cub (PA18, 125 HP). I am presently receiving currency
instruction in a Super Decathlon. I expect that I will also have
some experience in a Citabria and a Little Toot Biplane by the time
N914XL will be ready to fly.
Somewhere along the way, I'm going to do a first flight in my Europa
Monowheel. Whether someone else flies it first or not, I'm still
going to have to do a first flight of my own. I'd sure like to have
some decent instruction or experience first.
If you are willing to provide transition training, but aren't ready
to let the whole Europa world know, contact me off-line by phone or
personal e-mail. If you don't want publicity, I promise not to tell
anyone about you.
Good building and great flying to all,
Bob Borger

Just my unworthy 2 cents:
The few people I directly know who have looped their monowheels were
all very experienced pilots with non-trival amounts of time in their a/c
before their particular accidents. Somehow, I don't believe transition
training is the whole answer. Conversion to trigear or even to conventional
gear might be the right approach for some builders.
If you aren't dissuaded from flying the monwheel, at least get some glider
time first. It also is not the full experience of the Europa, but it is far
more available.

Hey Bob, I have an instructor who makes his living doing first test flights on
dozens of experimentals in my area (Denver). He did the test flying, checked
me out and did my TW sign off. Very helpful plus a great guy! Do your
aerobatic and mountain check rides while your'e at it!

May I suggest:
Lee Omerick
2109 Oakwood Drive
Valrico, FL 33594
(813) 681-3907 Home
(813) 924-7070 Cell
Lee is ex-air force and used to work for Europa USA doing training and
demos. He does not have an aircraft to fly so you will need to bring one to
the party.

Hey Roger,
Put it in the air by the end of next month and fly off the 40 before the
end of August. Then you can make the Rough River Flyin. Sound like a plan?
Jeff - Baby Blue
294 hours... With 2nd Annual next month...
