Good morning Alan,
my plane also had two previous owners and kit started as a Mono and was
converted
to a Trigear with a Rotax 914 (btw I'm also investigating on that kick back
problem at low temperatures now but since I already needed a new engine there
probably is some set up yet to be done), so very similar to yours in this
regard.
It is a complete XS although the build number is quite low. I learned, that
the reference for that number is the shipping of the first stage of the kit
(tailplane as far as I recall it) and maybe the builder didn't progress with
it as planned (like so many others?).
Despite a negative overboost experience last year I still have that "Europa
grin"
and today I cannot imagine to separate one day.
I haven't done a complete flapless landing yet. I normally use the 18 T/O
position.
The runway at my homebase is 1500 metres tarmac so indeed there is no reason
not to try it.
Regards
Roland
