For some strange reason Bob thinks that you will be interested in
watching me build a two seat light sports aircraft; I have my doubts
that many of you will have read this far. However, just case Bob is
right; it has been known, here we go.
I am helping to build a Europa XS Trigear (http://www.europa-aircraft.com/trigear/index.php) this
is an; all fibreglass side by side two seat touring aircraft made
from a kit some of you may have seen a plane is born well it from
the same stable. It will cruise around 135Kts (155MPH) and has an
endurance of approximately 4 hours so it will easily get me into
Europe and beyond.
A friend of mine has persuade me to help him build it as his wife is
fed-up with it cluttering their garage for a number of years so now
its filling mine up, but what are garages for if not for projects?
You will see that I am currently building the starboard wing and
have nearly finished having put together most of the aileron control
rod and bell crank the next job is to fit the aileron, flaps and
anti clonk lights have it inspected and fit top wing panel.
If any of you are interested and would like more information please
feel free to contact me.
