RE: Europa-List: 2002 Europa XS Mono Wheel for Sale

Hi! Graham 
I think the volume displacement of the xs with the voids in the wings
wouldn't be sufficient to float the whole a/c. If anything it may just
float but with the tail on the surface nose down. Now if a device such
as a crash air bag automatically and permanently inflated from a box
situated just in front of the fire wall .......?( Just filing for the
patent !)

Why not? How many pounds of PVC foam needed to support the weight of a 
Rotax and a roll of glass cloth?
