Europa has now delivered over 900 aircraft kits
world-wide. The current XS model is designed to accept the glider
wings. Builders have a choice of purchasing the kit with either the
standard wings, the glider wings, or for pilots who must have the
best of all worlds – both. The wings simply ‘mix and match’ – but if
you do ‘mix’, they must ‘match’!
Builders and flyers of the Europa Classic
are also able to retrofit the Motor Glider wings. Similarly, those
building the Europa Motor Glider can retrofit the standard short
wings.
