<<Could anyone let me know of any problems they have had using the Europa 
transporter
and possible solutions, ie. the undercarrage rubbing on the ramp when raised.>>

Chris,
  the ramp will rub some paint off the main u/c channel and there's not much u
can do about it. Make sure the u/c is well supported by the sides of the ramp
but not tight against the fuselage, which will bounce a bit.    Check that the
bolts holding the tow hitch are long enough for the nyloc nuts to tighten up
on, need to be 3 inches, if not REPLACE THEM or they will come off - i speak 
from
experience!  8-))   but fortunately no damage
  tie the outriggers up, or you may find them dropping down to indicate turns..
shades of Morris Minors.. unfortunate when u overtake cyclists too 
 finally, check the route to your airfield and learn where the potholes are.

chus,
