Welcome to my Europa construction site!
My name is Pat Tunney and I started building my Europa in late 2001. My
background is in mechanical engineering which started of in
Manufacturing and service on to petrochem and currently involves power
generation.After reading all the reports on the mono and its ground
handling I decided that the Tri-gear was the way forward for my self.
Due to work commitments and lack of a suitable workshop build
progress has been slow, however with help from others and the build of a
workshop things are now starting to come to shape.
This web site has been set up to give very basic information and
images on the build progress and I help its of use to other builders who
find as I have that an image makes all the difference when you are
struggling with a section of the manual.
My end of year target is to have the aircraft on its wheels with the
engine hung, however any progress is good and I have come to realize
that in the Europa world a 2hr job is usually a 4hr job.
The aircraft is based in south Manchester, if any body wishes to view
the real thing.
