Good Day,
David Joyce has recently collected information from UK Europa owners about their
aircraft insurance. I am attempting to collect similar data from US/Canada
owners. Please email the following information to butcher43@att.net . If
enough
of you respond, it should give us a comparison of relative costs for trigear
vs. mono and allow individuals to see whether their insurer is offering a
reasonable
deal. Any comments about how you transitioned into your Europa are
welcome, too. I would like to use the aggregated results in a Europa Flyer
article
and on the Matronics forum. I will keep your individual information private.
Thank you. Jim
