Hi! Michel.
I REALLY don't think you are entitled to decry Europa for promoting the
propeller of their choice. Would you "shoot yourself in the foot"?
Seems to me that your own authority has it's head up it's anus.
You should make an approach to Kremen and and get the French Authorities
to re-examine their "eyes closed attitude.

Bonjour Rowland,
I use a SR2000 on my aircraft since 9 month the result is good.
But the problem in France is French civil aviation administration (DGAC)
they recognize only the kit manufacturer not the PFA.
To day this propeller is not recognize by Europa because they sales
Airmaster propeller, and the company do not give a letter to the French
administration to use the woodcomp propeller, and to day we are grounded
with this propeller.
In France many ultralight aircraft use this propeller with 912. Sames
engine same propeller.
But with Europa aircraft is no authorised for the reason explained on
top.
What solution do we have?
I think this attitude is a high brakes and contrary the sales of many
kits aircraft.
Now mainly of the customers buy ultralight aircraft. The sales exploded
in France mainly for the non open attitude of kit manufacturers in
accordance with aviation administration.
Personnally I am satisfied of my aircraft, but my next aircraft is not
Europa for this attitude.
bientt,
