In re: Hand control differential braking
I assume this question was regarding the Tri-Gear since a mono wheel can
not have differential braking, by definition. The Tri-Gear is equipped
with more or less conventional foot operated brakes (for the pilot only)
- at least that is the way my kit was delivered.

Hello,
I am going to be buying a Europa and have some questions before I do.
Is the firewall material effective? How does it compare to a stainless
steel
firewall? Has anyone tested the material?
Does anyone have experience with the motorglider in a crosswind? I am
still
trying to imagine how to land the conventional gear airplane with the
outriggers. What happens if the outrigger hits first as in a wing down
situation? Is the airplane landed in a crab?
I have read about kid seats in the past. Is there any chance that the
Europa
could be modified to install a third seat in the back?
I read an NTSB report of a tri gear in Florida that lost it's nose
gear in
flight. I think it was the demo aircraft for Europa. Is this tri gear
system
a strong - sound design? Does anybody have trouble with the hand
control
differential braking?
Thanks for the time to read these questions.
