I remember having seen a Europa classic tri gear with a rudder push rod
rather than the cable setup. I wondered whether this was a classic
feature, and why it was abandoned, because my kit came with the (ugly)
cable setup.
Was this part of your tailwheel mod?
Although my Europa is finished, I would still like to see the details
(and maybe it is possible to convert). That starboard external cable and
horn don't really belong on such a sleek aircraft.
