Hi Jacques, Like Ken, I have had very little trouble with my mono brake. I noticed that you said it took 15 minutes to bleed your system and I was wondering if you had the brake bleeding kit that Eur

Hi all, I recently replaced the swing arm dampers on my monowheel. The aircraft has accumulated about 800 hours over 4.5 hours and although they didn't seem to need replacing, it just seemed like it

Hi all, This question is probably for the US folks. I had a serious "Aw shit" on Monday night. I had my coolant radiator from my XS on my workshop floor and a G clamp fell off the shelf and put a den

Hi All, I have been trolling through the internet searching for options regarding my coolant radiator. I don't know if this is dumb idea or not, but a Bell Intercooler core that has idential dimesion

Hi Jean-Paul & others I measured mine last year and I seemed be able to get a little more in after 4 years of "bulging and sagging" of the tank. I came us with 19.1 US Gallons which is 72 liters in t

Hi all, I can confirm that I can get a pair of Dahon folding bicycles in my Europa XS, but not much else, so it would be unlikely that you could get two of them in a Europa Classic. Paul
