After due examination of mission, the Europa (see
www.europa-aircraft.com) is my ideal plane.
Following inspection of budget, it seems too expensive;
even if the sterling/euro rate became more favourable.

What other homebuilts are around with a grossweight of
1300-1400 pounds, and accepting a 100-120 hp engine?
Both kits and plans-built can be considered.
European roots an advantage.



hi jan,

you might take a look at the DAC RangeR, a dutch homebuilt project using an
automobile diesel engine adapted for aviation use. the airplane was shown
at an early stage at the friedrichshafen Aero exhibition some years ago. i
don't know the current status of the project; check their internet site:
