seeing the set of plans available on e-bay, i took a look on this aircraft and it looks like a possible alternative for the Europa. of course, some questions arise: -) are any flying in Europe? Pas encore, mais il y a plusieurs personnes qui pensent à cet avion -) the design centers around the Subaru engine. I should prefer the Rotax 100HP, how does this compare to the subaru? Weight? Price? Subaru: plus lourd, moins cher, moins complexe. Plus puissant. Assez facile à trouver en Belgique. -) how does the Vision compare to the Europa? Plus de place pour les occupants, plus de charge possible, moteurs jusqu'à 200Cv (IO360) Mailling list en France: Pour vous abonner de ce groupe, envoyez un email à : Pour vous désabonner de ce groupe, envoyez un email à : A+ -- Philippe Vessaire Ò¿Ó¬ |

You obviously read English, so please respond in the same language. just because most people here are from the US, it doesn't give them a monopoly. if people from other languages are going out of their way all the while to read & write english, why do you need to get upset over one single message in French? it is not because europeans generally have better education, especially on the subject in languages, that you should call it a discourtesy not to make use of that. I agree that use of a language other than English is not a discourtesy. I'm sure the poster recognized that his readership would be dramatically reduced because of his use of French, but that is his decision to make. How does one spell "monolingual"?

A-M-E-R-I-C-A-N Yes, I do admit to the fact that Americans are not good about learning other languages. When I travel abroad, I always try to learn a few phrases, to make the people I am trying to communicate with feel like I have at least made an effort, and that usually makes people appreciative. How many languages would you have me learn? Until French becomes the world's unofficial universal language, I will continue not to become fluent in it. Why is English spoken as the official language of air traffic control? Why do most of the Scandinavian countries speak English as a universal language between all of the small countries and dialects? Sorry if I stepped on any toes, but you all will have to admit that English is the most universal language of the developed world, and if that makes me an ugly American for saying it, so be it.

When I travel abroad, I always try to learn a few phrases, to make the people I am trying to communicate with feel like I have at least made an effort, and that usually makes people appreciative. Yep. My feeble attempts at French while in Paris led to appreciation for my efforts, and a quick decision by Parisians(sp) that it is far less painful for them to speak English than to put up with my well-intentioned butchering of their language! How many languages would you have me learn? I don't care. Until French becomes the world's unofficial universal language, I will continue not to become fluent in it. Why is English spoken as the official language of air traffic control? Why do most of the Scandinavian countries speak English as a universal language between all of the small countries and dialects? Um, could it be because it is the best-known language in those parts, and that Anglo/Canadian/Aussie/American commerce is a very large part of the world economy? Sorry if I stepped on any toes, but you all will have to admit that English is the most universal language of the developed world, and if that makes me an ugly American for saying it, so be it. Your problem, not mine, for speaking the truth. I haven't seen anyone dispute these points, or complain about your making them. I think the [very minor] "beef" was with your characterizing as "rude" the poster's writing in his own language. I'm sure that since the question he was responding to was from someone in Belgium, and was Erope-specific, he felt that use of French would not cut back too much on the readership of his note. -- Alex -- Replace "nospam" with "mail" to reply by email.

I shouldn't have cared, but sometimes I get cranky, like other "old farts" around here. No names. (B.U.) g -- Jim in NC --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.
