Hi Brian,
That=92s the Classic Europa kit-no.: 242 from Manfred Jann. If you like
you
can contact him for more information. wemjot.das@kabelmail.de
He made that to reduce weight. As far as I know he also has built in
electric driven outriggers, adjustable rudder pedals and more.
We both have had our Europas for grinding, filling and painting in our
Czech
location.
Regards,
Bruno

Hi Bruno,
I noticed in one of your pictures another Monowheel with an
undercarriage
leg full of lightening holes. Can you tell us more about it?

Betreff: Re: Europa-List: Retractable Landing light or LED
Jeff,
is it so that folks in the advertising world trust more new gas lights?
Me
too.
I have two Hella Xenons, port-side-one is a taxilight and middle one is
for
landing.
I have been very happy with them.
Leds are brilliant but there are some problems like heat which is poison
for
them.
Anyway - I am plannnig to update my navlights to leds.
I have now Whelen made ordinary glow bulb navlights w/o strobos.
They are OK but they draw totally 98 watts and that is laughable with
Rotax
altenator
because like to use them all time flying.
Wishes, Raimo
