Europa – Aircraft of the Month

This aircraft of the month is the Europa a low wing all composite EA-B aircraft that has been around for a few decades now and is offered in a few different versions.

Likely the most interesting is the mono-wheel version that flys reportedly like a normal tail dragger aircraft.

There was even a certified version called the Liberty XL-2 built in Florida but operations ended

The discovery channel aired a series of a Europa being built in the UK by Mark Evans in 2002

The likely re-recorded 22 year old video quality is not quite the best but it’s interesting to watch.

If your really interested a DVD is available on Amazon that may offer higher video quality.

Beyond this there is plenty of newer YouTube videos of the Europa flying.

For those looking for a RC version, outerzone has you covered with a 50″ span version from 1997.
