Hi all,

 

We are currently in the process of repairing a Europa

classic, following a landing accident in the UK.

 

The aircraft is currently configured, as a tri-gear

taildragger, (the swiss mod approved by the LAA).

The owner has expressed a wish to replace this

undercarriage with something more forgiving and

robust.

 

Other than the standard mono, and tri-gear factory

configurations of which we are all aware, what other

configurations have been approved, or is in the

process of approval for this aircraft type?

 

Photos would of course be a great help.

 

Cheers in advance for your help.

Hi David,



So if i understand your question correctly you are not interested in a tri-gear, mono or classic configuration and do want something more robust and forgiving then any of those? Good idea!

How about a drag chute ? I thought the taildragger was the ultimate.

David...this appears to me to be a contradiction in terms...please 

elaborate.



Cheers,

Well i suppose if you want to be pedantic about it the "conventional" gear

does have 3 wheels so it is still a trike

just got the castoring wheel at the back instead of the front. Which means i

guess you could say the mono is actually a

Quad

 So...I'm sorry....I forgot the original question in this thread?

Hi David



Just for those of us who could not take our eyes off the topless young

ladies in the bottom left corner of the link, how many wheels did the Europa

have?



Regards



Pete

Just been back into the link again and the girls have gone to be replaced by

a hand writing on paper.  Was it a lovely dream or did any one else see

them?

Hi David,

??

Don't know anything about the girls, but the link gave me an error the first

time I went to it. This happened after the page appeared for a few seconds.

2nd visit was ok, with the handwriting on paper. Maybe they were scrolled

out of sight offpage the first time LOL
