Tom,

I don't have the solution to your problem.  Having just lost 2 friends 
in a Europa crash, I just want you and everyone in your position to 
fully understand the risks.
It may be that in the end you have no choice but to go it alone, in 
which case I wish you all the best.  There are plenty of experienced 
monowheel pilots on this forum that can give you advice.

regards,

Mike.

          Ah, yes.  That sounds great.  Please next tell me where I 
should get the experience on type...  I have searched and not found a 
single source..  Maybe you will give me experience on type?
