<< Can someone please share with me their building/flying experience with the
Europa XS? How has the factory support been? What is the quality of the
components, manuals, fit and finish, anything unexpected? >>
I am about 50% through the project, and the Europa manual I find is very good.
I am a first-time builder, and you're an A&P, so nothing to worry about. I
can't
rate the quality of materials against other kits, but I have been very pleased
so
far.
Factory support in the U.S. is thru the Lakeland, FL, distributor. Very nice
people there, and very helpful.
>>Has anyone built a Europa with a second throttle on the left hand side
>>(similar to Falco)?
I wanted one too, but I judged that (due to seating position), a left-side
throttle
would be awkwardly positioned. I was also concerned that the Rotax needs
two cables, and with the bend radii necessary for the left-side throttle, the
affair
might be too stiff. Where there's a will, there's a way, I suppose.
