Will,

I agree with Jeff.  I did 4 hours of training on a DA-20 before I flew 
my tri-gear Europa.  Very similar takeoff and landing speeds and 
character as well as handling in the traffic pattern.  I flew with US 
Aviation here in Denton.  I don=99t know if they still have the 
DA-20s or not.  I know they have DA-40s & 42s and a crap load of 150s, 
152s & 172s.

The Europa tri-gear is super easy to fly and land.

William,
Just a thought for you based on what I did. I flew a Dimond DA-20 for 10 
hours before my Europa. I remember when landing that long wing thinking 
that if it had a wing two feet shorter it would be much easier to land. 
The Europa is just that and super easy to fly and land.
