Today at 02.00 pm I made the first flight on my Europa A284 -- N284A
This aircraft is a hi-top Tri-gear XS with the NG mods on the fuse for the
doors but with foam tail planes.
The aircraft has a Rotax 914 with Airmaster prop and a Dynon EFIS with
backup instruments, a King KX125 Nav/Com, and Narco AT165 mode C
transponder. It came in at 868 lbs with interior still to go in.
The flight only lasted one time around the pattern due to the oil temp gauge
going to full scale (pegged over 300 deg.). Take off and landing were
perfect with no problems. The oil temp problem was found to be a connection
problem. Will try further flight attempts next weekend.
