Kieth,
She looks great and light weight to boot.  
Great job.

  Hello all,
  Europa ZK-MEE Xs mono, kit no 613, Rotax 912s / Airmaster VP prop, 
finally made its first flight today on a beautiful clear and calm day in 
the south of New Zealand at Taieri airfield. It flew beautifully hands 
off and doesn't seem to need any aileron or rudder trim. Hard to descend 
and land as it just wanted to keep flying! Empty weight is 866 pounds.

  Many thanks to Tim Ward, Nev Eyre, Bud Yerly, John and Roger at Europa 
and others who have helped me many times during the build.

  Regards to all and happy flying,

  Keith Hickling,
  New Zealand.
