Subject: Europa-List: A lot to look forward to and be thankful for!
I looked at all my family visiting tonight at dinner, and am thankful not
just for them but my extended family of aviation enthusiasts, Europa
builders and owners. I can't believe how blessed I am with good health
(allowing for the extra fat and baldness), an excellent airplane design to
go thrashing about in, and a family of Europa builders and fliers, who share
their experiences and even allow an dumb fighter pilot like me to share my
experiences with them once in a while. (Don't forget Mat Dralle as keeper
of the site we all use.)
As a dealer for the aircraft, I am thankful that you all contributed to
keeping the spirit of Europa alive, and as a result, we are blessed to have
a revival of the company. Believe it or not, all your suggestions are being
worked, massaged, cost analyzed, and already some are being implemented.
Thanks to Roger Bull, and John Wheeler for carrying the flag, and now under
the leadership of Dave Stanbridge the company enjoys new energy and is
progressing at a brisk pace.
Marketing strategies are in place, air-show dates set, the website is
drawing potential buyers, advertising is coming out soon, and more
importantly, your feedback is making the product better, easier to build,
and cost effective.
Since I last spoke at the Rough River Fly-in, we have really taken off. The
aircraft is being worked from nose to tail. From tail plane mods to new
nose wheel axels, new parts and construction methods are coming to make the
plane easier to build and maintain. From wingtip to wingtip, manufacturing
efficiencies are being tested, evaluated and implemented. The motor glider
wing is in final test and approval phase for world wide sales, and a whole
new LSA wing is in design. Gross weight increases and structural analysis
evaluations are in the works also. All this adds value to our existing
aircraft.
There is a new spirit at Europa and I am excited to be part of it. In the
next few months, you will see more coming, and we look forward to your
input. Please keep the information on your experiences, performance, and
suggestions coming. All of your contributions are important. They do not
fall on deaf ears. After all, we are a family.
Have a happy holiday season, and a safe and prosperous new year.
