FlyBaby Posted May 17, 2010 Share Posted May 17, 2010 Hi fellow and gal sky junkies, On page 21 of the May edition of the Recreational Aviation Australia magazine, there is an aircraft parked between a Jabiru and what looks like a Brumby. Can someone identify the name of that aircraft please. It looks very interesting. Thanks in advance, Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlyBaby Posted May 17, 2010 Author Share Posted May 17, 2010 I've just been doing some more research. Am I right in thinking it's a Europa Classic? Cheers Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Glenn Posted May 17, 2010 Share Posted May 17, 2010 are you able to scan the photo and post it here as there's not many of us who are RAA pilots with access to the magazine? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FlyBaby Posted May 21, 2010 Author Share Posted May 21, 2010 Thanks Glenn and MrH. I appreciate your feedback. It's great to be part of such a great website. Cheers Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest David C Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 I don't think it's an RV machine .. It has the cockpit profile of a Europa , but I don't think it is one , and the undercart of a KR2 , but I don't think it's one of those either .. Any more suggestions ?

FlyBaby Posted May 21, 2010 Author Share Posted May 21, 2010 Thanks Dave. This is beginning to become a bit of mystery now. Thanks everyone for trying to help solve the identification problem. cheers Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winsor68 Posted May 22, 2010 Share Posted May 22, 2010 I think it is a Europa...interesting (and more appealing) with tail wheel... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest David C Posted May 22, 2010 Share Posted May 22, 2010 After looking at the Europa website I agree , it sure does look like a Europa . The undercart configuration puzzled me . Usually the tail dragger version has a monowheel undercarriage , this one sports a normal tail dragger rig .. Dave C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spin Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 Geez louise, things are quiet in here - is that an echo I hear? Found an online ad for a Europa "converted from monowheel to conventional undercarriage" so it seems the ID was good. The original has a quirky appeal but I believe ground handling is a little "different" too, so not a bad idea - I've never quite been able to warm to the looks of the tri gear, a bit tubby about the middle or something?
