Dear Duncan
To enable the Europa to operate in the Utility category (+4.4g) the max
weights would have to be less than 1122lb (Classic) or 1183lb (XS and
Classics with Mod 52). This makes the aircraft essentially single place.
Bear in mind the limitations attached to the aircraft's Certificate or
Permit to fly. In the UK, no aerobatics are permitted. Incidentally,
steep level turns (60=B0 angle of bank) generate only 2g which is well
within the Europas 3.8g limit at ATOW.
Kind Regards
Andy Draper

These limit load ratings are all (I assume) at MTOWA. So by flying at an
appropriately reduced load what`s to stop the Europa falling into the
Utility category?
