Another Europa XS Trigear is on its way to join the  UK fleet.   G - CEYK flew from Oxford for the first time on Saturday  last.  No dramas, just the interest provided by having myself as builder on  his first as a test pilot.

Hi! Alisdair.  

Very well done and congratulations to all connected with the successful first flight of G-CEYK.  

   

 I should take this opportunity to also announce my admiration for Ivor Phillips who test flew his new Europa G-IVER for all of seven hours in one week or thereabouts, collected his Full Permit from Gatwick on the Thursday having submitted it to the LAA  only on the previous Monday then on the Friday of the same week accompanied me and my brother in G-PTAG for some 30 hours on a Scandinavian Tour including Barkaby and Stauning Rally’s over the Arctic Circle to Guallivare (ESNG) through snow showers and lots more that Mother Nature can dream up ! There’s nothing like confidence in ones own creation…… very well done Ivor.  

After this trip I am the first to say that when we did our previous …. Bob’s Trip “Over and Closing the Circle” Scandinavian Tour 2003 (Google .co.uk) WE KNEW NOT WHAT WE DID !  

Of course many thanks to the LAA and the Permit Application Department of the CAA for pulling out all the paperwork stops which allowed this tour to be also a success.  

Regards  

To all   

Bob Harrison G-PTAG

Congratulations Alasdair, the odd wings  thankfully did not cause you any dramas . My  build rate is slower  than yours and I look forward to my odd wings performing equally  well.

 ( for other Europaphiles info.  the  aforementioned odd wings refer to a kit delivery containing either 2 port or 2  starboard items and we had to organise a swap)

  

 Happy landings ,   Regards,

Well done Alasdair, Its very gratifying being the test pilot on your own build,    

Its just a shame that so much paper work gets in the way of having loads of fun,  

   

Congratulations  

Ivor Phillips

Alasdair, Many congratulations. You may well have put up a first or at least 

become one of a select few in now owning two Europas. Which do you prefer?

Regards, David joyce, G-XSDJ
