Fellow Europaphiles:

My 2-bits, for what it's worth.

I like the WhirlWind propellers. Decent price for the 2-blade
version. The 4-blade would look so sexy on the Europa, like a mini-
Spitfire. (If you want to put out the extra $5K or so)

As you can see below in the signature block, I've bought an
Airmaster. Reason: Airmaster is electrically controlled. WhirlWind
is hydraulic controlled. The hydraulic controller has to be mounted
where my 2nd alternator is mounted. Choice: 2nd alternator or
hydraulic controller. With my all-electric panel and IFR setup, I
had to go with the 2nd alternator. If I went simple daytime, VFR
(which will probably be 95% of my flying anyway) and vacuum gages, I
might have been able to get away with the Europa electrical system
and could have gone WhirlWind hydraulic C/S prop.

Like I said, just my 2-bits for what it's worth. Please don't anyone
follow my lead, just because I've tried it. I still don't know how
it will work as I'm still months and months and months away from flying.

Good building and great flying,
Bob Borger
