Jim,
I did the same thing in my Monowheel. =C2-I read the FARs and interpreted
them as this was OK. =C2-You can only have those crew on board who are n
ecessary for the safe completion of the flight. =C2-I saw a CFI as being
necessary for the safe completion of the flight.

When I explained to my insurance company that I could not get Europa time,
they let me fly a Liberty for 2 hours, instead of the Europa. =C2-Going f
rom the Liberty to the Europa is like moving from a Mac truck to a Porsche.
=C2-I understand perfectly what you are saying. =C2-I now have about 1
0 hours in my Europa but have not flown it for four months and will try to
get some more dual before I fly it again. =C2-I did something highly ille
gal and went around the patch a few times with an experienced Europa CFI in
my plane before I flew it. =C2-The current structure of the law is just
not safe. =C2-I'd sure like to see EAA lobby for some better regulations
for the transition. =C2-
