Welcome to my Europa build site. Last update: 29-Mar-2008

I am publishing this site for two reasons: firstly as a log of what I'm doing that I can refer back to and secondly to help other builders to avoid whatever mistakes I make - and there are bound to be many! You will see from the menu on the left that I have included several sections:

I should point out that I am based in the Cambridge, UK, so my references are going to be to UK companies and my measurements are generally metric. Any comments would be welcome and you can contact me at rick.sivier@btinternet.com.

Latest Updates:

Well, it's been a good while since I updated this site, or worked on the Europa for that matter! Since my last update in 2001, I have got divorced, moved house a couple of times and remarried. However, I'm now ready to resume my build, and so I thought I should get this site up and running again. So I am in the process of moving all the parts that I have constructed out of my mum's garage into mine ready to finish the wings. However, before I move the wings, I thought I would have a go at baking the control surfaces whilst I have the space to build a big oven. So that's what I am working on at the moment and I will try to keep this site up to date as I go along.
