<<It seems to me that this system is perfectible but may be I

I think that someone has converted a monowheel to electric
flaps but cant remember who. Whether there was much to be
gained from it I cannot say, but I think that the Europa
system is a very neat solution to the problem.
Unless you intend to operate your Europa from long flat
runways with no obstacles then I would stick with what they
offer, which is designed for use from short grass strips.
The flap setting is designed for best take off performance
---From short strips with close in obstacles so perhaps landing
performance could be improved with more flap but I doubt by
much.
This system performs two actions with one lever, so there is
one less item in the checklist and one less thing to forget
about.
<<I worry about landing in strong cross wind with all flaps
down. >>
In turbulent conditions it is not a bad idea to use less
landing flap. Europa have already thought of that!
Hope this helps
