Hello Tim,

Not the first New Zealand built Europa to reach for the skies.
The first New Zealand built Europa to reach for the skies IN NEW ZEALAND.

Tony K is the oracle on this, but I am fairly sure a New Zealand built Europa 
was
exported before if flew...

And when is Tony's superb machine going to be ready then ?

Regards
