Europa Monowheel
Ive often been interested in buying a monowheel as it seems quite good value for money for a decent LAA touring aircraft that isnt going to break the bank on purchase costs and fuel costs.
I have read many examples and opinions on the fact that the mono has to land and take off with full flaps so that the stablisers and landing gear are lowered for the ground run. Most people point out that taking off with full flap is quite dangerous.
Is this the case? and if it is
Why hasnt anyone come up with a mod to seperate the controls for the flaps and the landing gear / stabilisers? By having a seperate lever for the undercarriage this would solve this problem.
I understand that some Mods need lots of work to be accepted by LAA but surely this must be something that is not too complicated if they are controlled by flap levers?
