At the risk of possibly upsetting people, or at best appearing a computer
illiterate (which I readily accept) could I suggest that people affix an
automatically generated 'signature' to their e-mails which include their
personal e-mail address.
This would enable a direct reply when it is not necessary to communicate to
the whole forum.
I dare say that people better informed will come up with very worthy reasons
why this is not a good idea - the Great Unwashed getting hold of their
personal addresses, etc. - but, having said that.........
Congratulations Carl and Dot. I know you have had a number of hiccups along
the way, what with work and the rest, and I am so pleased to hear that your
machine has at last taken to the air.
Where are you basing it and I would like to drop in and 'chew the cud' with
you sometime.

G-LABS, Europa Classic No 49 (building commenced in February 1994),
eventually flew for the first time today at Turweston Aerodrome.
Mike Dolphin was at the controls and after a morning of taxying and minor
ajustments, took off and climbed to 2000 ft for a half hour initial
assesment sortie.
Weather conditions not ideal but handling (ground and air) were excellent
and temperatures within limits.
Now all we need is a spell of decent weather to complete the test flying.
