Another one takes to the air FINALLY!
April 2, 2001 at Europa in Lakeland, FL(USA) a Europa XS monowheel
914 leaped into the air several seconds before her startled pilot was
expecting it. The first flight was short with the typical problem of
overheating but it was a marvelous first. For all you other Europa
dreamers keep the faith and it will happen!
Two days later the overheating has been alleviated to a great extent
and the numerous electrical problems seem to have been solved by a new
battery. Landings have been a bit dicey but we live to tell the tale.
Witnessed by Andy, Neville, Keith, and Jimmy Thursby as well as my
very patient partner Suzy. Russell Lepre and Bob Berube at
Flightcrafters were instrumental in their assistance and encouragement.
Hope to see everyone at Sun N'Fun.
