Interesting problem. I am interested in selling my Europa but would like to
have it updated by you first. Actually, I was hoping someone would buy it a
nd get the work done. It needs new bungee and some of gas line replacement.
Then there are the tail plane mods that I have not done. Then I was think
ing the buyer might want to convert it to a tri gear. Maybe I should just c
hop it up for parts. Any ideas about these issues?

lost my local CFI who I checked out in my plane, and I was really letting i
t hang out as the plane could not be used for checkouts for a fee. Very pai
nful now.
