Hi, I'm not normally one to do this but I'm quite incensed and so need to warn other builders about the current Europa policy. I've had cause to order a new tailplane Torque Tube from the factory. Th
Gerry, The item arrived with half the torque tube hanging outside the box. You could argue that I need to charge Europa to get it checked to see if it suffered damage in the post with their courier.
Hi Svein, Thanks for your reply. Up until midday today I would have agreed with every word you said. In the last 6 months I have put several thousand pounds (>5k) worth of business through Europa's b
You are joking ...... ? I have a huge tin of the stuff supplied by Europa just before Christmas. Fortunately I've not done anything with it but was planning too in the next couple of weeks. I guess t

Hi, I've been wondering about the electric flap mod for a taildragger. Ignore the 'taildragger' bit in this case as it's actually the standard system fitted to the tri-gear. I like the simplicity (an
