Today ( 7-10-13 ) the first Europa to be fitted with a UL Power UL260iS 107 Hp engine flew for the first time from a Private strip in Wiltshire.
With the test pilot going up for a 30 min first flight and no real probs reported apart from the Constant speed prop needed adjusting.
The second flight was a little shorter but the Prop was working well no and the take off roll with One up and half fuel and Nil wind was only 220 meters. A very happy and impressed Tp climbed out of G-BWUP exclaiming it was a Very Nice Aircraft.
next we have to fly off A few more hours for the Test flying to be completed.
