Builders (and those who are planning to build)!
Today I performanced some X-country flying with my 88-years old uncle, who is a
still operative hearth surgeon.
We had 6 legs, all together 6 hrs 23 minutes and 804 nm, with an average speed
126 knots, total fuel consumption was 117 litres, TOW was near my MTOW 1450 lbs
/658 kgs (we had some heavy tools w us).
After we both feel very relaxed and my uncle stated if he were a young man
again,
flying should be a big part of his life. Tower men/women regularly call my
Europa in radio "speedy little experimental". What a wonderful machine She is!
Those who are building - keep on that mode with stamina - the fruit will be more
than suberb.
