I just received my December issue of Kitplanes and in the section
detailing all of the kit plane offerings the Mono and Tri gear Europa are
detailed, with the photograph of G-Kits sporting slick looking "spats"
a.k.a. wheel pants. Now that G-Kits has a Mid West rotary and wheelpants
does any one have the new performance specs for this configuration?
The specification pannels for the two configurations list list a 75 pound
greater gross weight for Tri gear model and a 5 mph faster cruise speed,
150 vs 145 mph. for the Rotax 912.
The same issue has a good article by Peter Kember subtitled: "The author
is the first customer to complete a Europa - and he tells all. Good
article with new pictures that I haven't seen published anywhere else.
