I don't think looking at the performance of Kim Prout's aircraft is
particularly helpful, unless you're a god. Nobody else seems to have come
near to the performance acheieved by Kim!!!!! I think this guy wants to know
what he can expect to acheive if he buys or builds a regular 914 Europa Tri
gear. There are several out there and we have sold props for at least two
914 trikes and one 914 mono. I am sure someone can give him typical actuals.
