Just a short note to introduce myself , I have recently been offered a
share in a Europa kit and am currently at the " trying to convince my
wife it's a good idea stage" so I still have some way to go !
I have had no building experence at all and would therefore like  to
find out  a) is it difficult ? b)  how many hours does it really take
to get one in the air, and once in the air how does she fly? Any 
information would be useful,
Many thanks,
Steve Parker
