Fellow Europaphiles,

OK, let's stop dancing around the subject and lay it out on the table  
where everyone can have at it.

Is there anyone out there who can provide transition training for  
someone about to complete their monowheel??

If there is, speak up please!

This is the real issue, TRANSITION TRAINING in the EUROPA MONOWHEEL.

I expect that I'll have N914XL ready to fly in August or September.   
I would love for someone out there to provide me a few hours of  
transition training.  If you are commercially rated and a CFI, I'd be  
happy to pay reasonable aircraft rental and instructor rates.  In  
addition, you'd probably get a couple good steak dinners in the deal.

I am an instrument rated, commercial pilot.  (No I do not fly for a  
living) I have past experience in an Aeronca Champ (7BCM, 85 HP) and  
Super Cub (PA18, 125 HP).  I am presently receiving currency  
instruction in a Super Decathlon.  I expect that I will also have  
some experience in a Citabria and a Little Toot Biplane by the time  
N914XL will be ready to fly.

Somewhere along the way, I'm going to do a first flight in my Europa  
Monowheel.  Whether someone else flies it first or not, I'm still  
going to have to do a first flight of my own.  I'd sure like to have  
some decent instruction or experience first.

If you are willing to provide transition training, but aren't ready  
to let the whole Europa world know, contact me off-line by phone or  
personal e-mail.  If you don't want publicity, I promise not to tell  
anyone about you.

Good building and great flying to all,
Bob Borger
