We have a handful of expert Alpine Europa Monowheel pilots that are happily
landing
on slopes/profiles of 20% or more at very high altitude.

Question: There are mountains worldwide. How big is the Europa community that
fly
in this demanding way? Is it just the elite team in the Alps that actually
land on the mountains?
Have often flown in mountainous areas. But I have found landing on the big
slopes
(with an instructor)challenging. The thought of executing in my own Europa
mono particularly with its oversized propeller is too daunting, And as I dont
routinely fly in mountainous areas have decided against pursuing further. I
continue
to have a great respect for those who have acquired the skill.
Happy to receive a private message if there are licensing sensitivities.
