I have now made contact with FFF. Great stuff.

If anyone else has any other useful info then I would greatly appreciate it.

Do any of you owners regularly remove the wings for storage? If so, what are the problems involved? I would guess that it is at least a 2 man job - is it? Also, what kit is available to store the wings? (apart from the trailer arrangement which I don't really want to get into).

I would also appreciate some idea of annual operating costs and insurance. I have never owned an aircraft before. All my previous types have been owned by HM or clubs. Presumably there is some form of experience assessment and 'risk' assessment done by the insurer - would I be right?

Finally, I get the impression that a number of Europas are owned by groups. I don't want to open a huge debate about the pros and cons of groups but if there are any specific Europa issues, then I would like to hear about them.
