I do have free storage I live on Spruce Creek airpark in Florida and
presently have a large EMPTY hanger just waiting for my aircraft, but your
idea of just having it there for part of the year is interesting. I am told
that I can't have in the U.S. at all..!
Do you know anything different to that? Bear in mind it's an experimental
aircraft not a certified one, therefore the rules are different.

Alan,
If you are only in Florida for the winters why do you want to keep the
Europa there for the whole year ? You can fly it on the G registration, and
take it back home in the spring. Car ferries operate frequently between
Southampton and East Coast ports, including Florida, and their shipping
rates are quite reasonable. And unless you happen to have free storage for
the motorglider, you would save a lot on hangarage charges.
