therefore should run smoother than the Warp  Drive. Arplast blades leading
edge is unprotected and will erode when flying in  rain. The first thing to do
is to check with your GSAC if they would approve the  use of Arplast. I believe
they would ask you to prove that it is approved by the  kit manufacturer. As
the only prop approved by the Europa factory is the Warp  Drive or the Airmaster
with Warp Drive blades, I am afraid you may be in  trouble.   


Thanks Remi.
 I actually asked that question to the inspector, and he said that I should file
a personal mod with a "Non Technical Objection" from Europa (need to contact
Roger about that). He said as well that if the Arplast is already used on 
Europas,
this will surely help. If I decide for the Ecoprop I will go first into
that mod application process before spending any money !

Same for me. I went to Vichy last Sunday, and it was quite desertic ! Bad and 
rainy
day. 
In case you want to come to Amboise, let me know.
