I mad or
Bob,
I do not regard the distinctions between handling characteristics of mono vs
trigear as being significant. The mono is more pleasing to the eye etc. I
modified my mono to tri for two reasons: with the mono
1. I was unable to retract gear with the rright hand, I also cannot fly other
manually retractables, and
2. The high desert strip from which I fly is 30 feet wide and I could not
turn
the mono around without stopping, and doing it by hand from the ground.
The europa is the most enjoyable plane to fly that I have experienced.
These experiences began with the stearman in 1945. After a half century lay
off I retired and took up flying again.
Off strip attributes are not applicable in the high, 6500 ft,desert.
