that the machine goes very near the vertical and picks up speed quickly on r

pit! I believe the standard Europa XS has similar behaviour e.g.
the same powerful tailplane clean aerodynamics etc.

earching for info, I have seen one or two accounts on here of accidental inc

to survive I should think. Easy to do though especially if you are turning a
cross a stiff breeze.
