Hi,

Excuse my intrusion here you might think I'm butting in where I'm not
wanted since, having lurked for a while, I can tell you are all
experienced pilots/builders; but I have a few basic questions.

I am currently training for my PPL, and when I pass I would love to
start building a Europa. I would like the answers to the following
questions if I can please.

1. How much, including tools, etc would it cost (approx) to build the
Europa from start to finish? You guys will obviously have a much better
idea of the hidden costs and I'd value your input since this is a non
starter if I can't afford it in the first place.

2. How difficult is it to get the aircraft licences and get a C of A for
it? How much does this cost and what steps are involved?

3. Where do you store your aircraft? If you store it at home, what do
you do about things like excess fuel after a flight? Do you just leave
it in the tanks?

4. How easy is it to complete the tasks involved? And what do you do
about fitting the engine and instrumentation?

If there is a FAQ that answers these questions then a pointer that will
be sufficient and I'll leave you all in peace!

Thanks a lot,

Mark.
