I also offer my best wishes for a speedy recovery, and condolences on your
plane.
Wrt to in ted egress, i was planning on making the hinge pins removable with the
pull of a handle (on cables). I have the same feature on my lil hummelbird to
be able to bail.
Regards,

a report of a forced landing of a Europa Trigear with subsequent flip over
after an engine failure and the pilot also at least had his difficulties with
escaping the cockpit. I assume it's a similar problem with all low wing

the Europa maybe even slightly better with the gull-wing doors compared to
a one piece canopy.
