The Europa caliper is a clone of the Cleveland and as such is used
successfully on thousands of planes without problems. What you DO need
to look out for is re-lined pads. If the rivets stand proud of the back
of the pads, they will contact the piston and cant the pads causing
uneven ware.
If you want a really classy wheel and brake combination, take a look at
the Beringer products:

Page 9 for Europa Monowheel conversion.
It's lovely stuff, beautifully made and much lighter than the OEM.
