Hi! Jos ...well done, for a second I thought "WHAT'S THIS HE MUST HAVE A
SET OF FLOATS ON !" then I got my brain wound up !
It puts a whole new dimension on the Europa operation. I guess a set of
ski's would suffice for the trike too ? I'm half sad I didn't go the
reverse prop way !
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
Regards
Bob H G-PTAG
PS you don't have a set of my Torque tube clamps fitted do you ?

Yesterday i flew the ship from the airport to the lake in front of our
place. It's nicely moored to the jetty now.
This was the first time the Woodcomp reverse prop came in use. The ice
was wet and hence conventional braking action zero. Reversing and
hitting the throttle really brakes about as good as the monowheel brake.
Tailwheel and rudder control during taxiing was good enough to keep
track. It's nice to just have to walk to plane to fly, instead of
driving to the airport :-)
