Hi Nigel,

I have a couple of questions:

Could you tell me if there is an increase in ground clearance over the mono?
Where in are the wheels in relation to the MAC ?
Are the brake lines internal to the gear?

Some more pictures would be great!!

Thanks, Paul

Some of you will know that I've been developing an articulating,
full-suspension tail-dragger conversion for the Europa (for the last few
millennia it seems). Anyhow, I pulled the first carbon fibre cross-member
out of the moulds last week (3.6 Kg before you ask) and trial rigged it -
picture attached.
For those of you with an interest, I will be displaying it, together with a
load of other "off piste" Europa developments, at the LAA rally at Sywell
this coming weekend.

We will be on the Europa Club stand - so come over and say "hello" and grab
a cup of coffee. We have a large marquee, so don't be put off by the
weather!

Nigel
