Subject: Europa-List: Keep on building!
Builders (and those who are planning to build)!
Today I performanced some X-country flying with my 88-years old uncle, who
is a still operative hearth surgeon.
We had 6 legs, all together 6 hrs 23 minutes and 804 nm, with an average
speed 126 knots, total fuel consumption was 117 litres, TOW was near my MTOW
1450 lbs /658 kgs (we had some heavy tools w us).
After we both feel very relaxed and my uncle stated if he were a young man
again, flying should be a big part of his life. Tower men/women regularly
call my Europa in radio "speedy little experimental". What a wonderful
machine She is!
Those who are building - keep on that mode with stamina - the fruit will be
more than suberb.
