Jeff, I am happy for you that you chose the join the Europa community wi
th Baby Blue. The Europa is a great plane; mono or Tri-gear. I only wi
sh that the mono wasn't desparigage in the process of making a case for
the Tri-gear. As a mono pilot who has only flow his plane off of hard s
urfaces (asphalt or conrete) for the last 500 hours I do realize that di
fferent skills are necessary to handle the mono. I also recognize the f
act that these skill can be learned with the aid of competent flight ins
truction. I had zero tailwheel time when I transitioned into the Europa
. With a couple of hours (literally two hours) of training by Bob Linds
ay, my flight instructor transitioned into the Europa. Of course has man
y hundred of hours of tailwheel time and did not find the Europa diffic
ult to handle. He did note that it was differnent than other tailwheel
aircraft that he had flown. My flight instructor then set out to transit
ion train my in my Europa. With the requisite 10 hours of dual complete
I received my tailwheel endorsement and haven't looked back.
