FlyingForFun I havn't dismissed the Europa XS Trigear at all! Don't worry. I love the look of the Europa. I still just can't decide between the two.
I do agree the Europa is the best all round kitplane available today.
It will be great if you could provide us with actual operating costs of your Europa and see how they compare with RVs. Is yours a Trigear or Monowheel?
I think one should probably fly both aircraft before you could make a decision anyway, and also have hands-on experience with composite and aluminium construction.
Thanks for your input.
PS: I thought the Europa is aerobatic?
