Belated CONGRATULATIONS Carl.  I've just returned after a week off so didn't see
your message until now.

It's always gratifying to see yet another Europa make it into the air.  I do 
hope
that you have been wearing a Europa smile lately.
I wish you a straightforward shake-down programme and test flight.

Best regards
Andy Draper

G-LABS, Europa Classic No 49 (building commenced in February 1994),
eventually flew for the first time today at Turweston Aerodrome.

Mike Dolphin was at the controls and after a morning of taxying and minor
ajustments, took off and climbed to 2000 ft for a half hour initial
assesment sortie.

Weather conditions not ideal but handling (ground and air) were excellent
and temperatures within limits.

Now all we need is a spell of decent weather to complete the test flying.
