Just curious. Other than being ugly, it seemed like a decent airplane. Unfortunately, if one can fly a sleek looking plane that performs as well as the ugly one, most folks will pick the nice looking one. Matt

The europa is likely the best selling kit of all times in europe.
The company did not fail due to unpopularity, or ugliness, of the plane. You are entitled to your opinion, but pronouncing it as fact will not win you any points here.

Lancair, Glasair, Pulsar, RV, etc., depending on your mission. Matt

Oh sure, pull out the Falco.
I suppose you could compare my wife to Penelope Cruz, but I wouldn't let her hear about it if I were you. "Matt Whiting" wrote in message ...
