Hi Bill,
Sorry, but not on your side of the Pond, I live in Portugal. A good bet
is to join the Europa club, only a few bucks a year and as well as
helping you get in touch with other Europa builder/flyers, will keep you
updated as to whats happening. Bud Yearly is the leading authority State
side. If you look on the Europa club website this will give you details
on cockpit width increase(and how to contact Bud) as well as all the
other mods, which will also help to see that your a/c is current with
all the relevant required mods.
Mine is a high top with the cockpit width increase, with the longest
logged flying hours in a day being 7 hours which is pushing it a bit
comfort wise!
Trust your Europa is one of the =98proper=99 variants, i.e.,
a mono!!

are located? I am in Bedford,Pa. I also see that you are 6,5" and
Wondering how you sqeezinto an Europa? You must have a mod that widens
the cockpit a little Huh? And where would I find out about this? I am
only 5,9" and find it quite snug. Would love it to hve more elbow room.
