If I towed my unfinished XS to Denver and had a conjugal visit from my wife
in the hager, would I still be a member of the "Club"?

...oh yes Bob I have always known what you really enjoy and what kind of a
man you are. All the females wants to suck you at least those two horny mos
quitos once here.
IMHO EMHC is possible but at least one of a club member must have quite a t
iny and flexible body and of course open mind to perform things.
I have completed all the geometrics and calculations and personally I am re
ady t go.
My wife (she again!) need a bit preparering & fixing & practising but I am
sure she is also good to go sooner or later.
My plan is to take a photo from a session and glue it at a large format to
the D-panel.

BTW I am not sure is the traditional pen-e-tration must to be (E)MHC a memb
er with full rights and honour. Maybe just a perfect o-ral play is accepted
.
Someone should call to Club President John Travolta (pilot & owner B-707-13
8 and Gulfstream G-V for personal recreational use).

Hi Lucio
why not? And also girlfriends, flying mothers and mothers in law, daughters
and do not forget all those mistresses.
Without my wife OH-XRT would have never been completed. Without her neveren
ding support I would have stopped flying. When building we got married. So,
she is vital and very virile part of my Europa life.
The Plan is to join Europa Mile High Club
(after autopilot installation and some practise that should be performable
happily and safely. That would be also very romantic because I have there z
illions of dimmable red lights and also slow bedroom music via Bluetooth fr
om B&O=C2=B4s MP3.
Just wonder who will be the very first Europa child who has been manufactur
ed in the (flying) Europa. Some of you may think that is impossible because
CofG but that is well solveable. My wife is behind my shoulder and will pr
ess delete quite soon so I have to move on...
How many female Europa pilots there are? How many of you have a lady
=93 wife or not =93 who want to fly with you? Maybe some of you have
many of them? How many then (You all remember my personal record is to fly
Europa with three ladies omboard). Would you like to share your =9CLa
dy in Europa=9D photos? Maybe this a a place for some kind competitio
n?
I know couple of them like Frans Veldman=C2=B4s charming wife Ilona. Also S
tefan Ingemarson=C2=B4s flying lady and Dirk Oyen=C2=B4s Chantal are magnif
icent. Maybe that is something to do with Europas!
BTW My wife Marke wants me to teach her to fly Europa unofficially. Just fo
r fun and just in case, you know. Our goal is she could make a safe landing
during this year. I mean a safe Mono landing...with some air in the tube p
lease. That air should be between ground and a center axle.

Thanks for a Slime tip =93 I will check it out immediately.

Dear All,
it is a long time since I have been here. Today it happened something and I
got an Europa Energy Burst (aka ENB) to write on the list. I think this co
uld be useful info for most of you Europa (or any GA plane) operators. Let
me tell you what was it and how it went:
***
I have worked couple of years to make an Europa story to the largest All an
d Universal Technical Scandinavian Magazine which is published in the Scand
inavian countries. I have had several flying experiences with their very sp
eciall aviation editor. Today we decided to fly to one very remote airfield
. Everything went as normally.
Please notice I have a Monowheel, The Most Sexy GA ever built.
***
Just after a touchdown I
- smelled a well burned rubber and then after
- noticed immediately a strong autobrakeing
- noticed immeadiately the position of the aircraft is not normal (too low
and too leveled)
- noticed a rumbling noise
- noticed it is not *very* well steerable or att all and so we went out of
the runway to the port side of the grass area
We went out of the runway. That concrete runway 33 was quite narrow, just 6
metres or about 20 feets only. I understood at once what was the name of t
he game. During first seconds I was wondering if it (tha plane) will be inv
erted. The brakeing effect was so hard. After seconds I was wondering if I
will lose only my prop (and engine) at least. It took only seconds. We stop
ped and I ask the editor how about if I will now switch off the fuel pump,
electrics, engine, are you ok and how do you feel now?
What a story for a newspaperman!
The landing was very normal before the touch down. Let me say, I had comple
ted 416 pcs of an Europa Monowheel landings and this was better than 8 (0-1
0) just before touch down . I (we) assume the tire/tyre was empty before la
nding. Not a big bang when landing at all, no no.
***
During the years we (Europa Operators) have speculated what will happen whe
n landing a mono with an empty tire /tyre. Now I /we know: If lucky nothing
! My prop was still a virgin (configuration: Warp Drive blades with a wonde
rful Airmaster hub from NZ). The soil out of the runway was quite soft. The
re was still a clearance between the mother ground and the blades about 50
mm /2 inches. I kept the stick hard back during the landing. Some of you ma
y remember I do love high speed landings like on final 70 knots and during
a touch down around 60 knots. The brakeing effect was very strong because o
f an empty main (and only!) tire /tyre: it took only less than 100 metres /
300 feets from touch down point to the final stop. Zero winds. Runway is a
bit upphill.
***
After I checked I am ok and my co-pilot was also ok and my plane was about
ok I called bureacrats as they call to do in Finland immediately. The Polic
e came and people from The Air Accident Investigators called me. That was a
n Finnish Army Airbase also. They came and tried to help us by giving some
air to my empty wheel but do not succeeded because the inner tube was total
ly destroyed during the landing (just 300 metres from us they =93 Fin
nish Army - were launching unmannned planes by steam catapult).
***
I called my loving (and sooo beautiful) wife and she took immediately the s
pare inner tube with her from our hangar and was heading by car with a trai
ler 200 km /125 miles to us. Without a special jacking block which I always
carry with me it would have been impossible task to lift the Mono upp and
take the wheel out and change an inner tube for a new one. All together it
took 6 hours until we were flyable again. Let me say The Editor still wante
d to fly with me back to EFTP. We completed some touches and goes to check
would it be again empty or not. It was not. What a smile.
Attached a pic =9Can accident place, my plane, my Wife and Mr Editor
doing tire /tyre changeing jobs=9D.
***
Fuck!
I have operatored my Europa 4 seasons and this was my 4th case of an empty
and a broken main wheel! This was a first experience during a landing. All
the other cases have been during taxiing or so. Why?! I have an original si
ze and a brand of an inner tube which is 8.00 =93 7(6) which means it
is ok for a size 7 and 6. They say so. I had two years an original outer t
yre /tire which was like from a colf car but after earlier incidents I chan
ged it for a real aircraft tyre /tire (brand name Air Trac). Always the hol
e has been in the side of the inner tyre. It has always been let me say abo
ut 10 mm /0,4 inches) long crack.
I (I point *I*) assume that is the question of the bad quality of the Deli
(made in Indonesian) innner tyres.
***
Let me and we all know the source for the high quality inner tubes please!
Let me and all know is there any clever stuff to put inside of the inner tu
be *before* accident to prevent this kinds of accidents.
We all know there are stuffs to put inside the inner tubes to make our day
*after* it is empty. That is not a solution and nothing to do with a catast
rophic failure when the crack is 10 mm or wider.
I /we need a possibility to prevent this kind of (very stupid) not-so-purpo
se-to-happend-accidents.
***
Monowheels pilots =93 please do not ever fly far away w/o a lifting b
lock. That is a sensation.
Thanks for Mr. Dirk van Oyen from Belgium (first time in use a day after a
Maiden Flight =93 that was 30.04.2007).
***
Thanks for this wonderful chance to share and make my day.
I have many topics to talk with you. Many questions to answer. Many things
to do since the end of the last summer. I will come back.
Thanks you are there. All of you.

Specially Mr Kingsley from Oz and Mr Fred Klein from US.
I am happy you are there.
