The XS kit goes
together much easier with hundreds of hours saved in the
construction and finishing time. By careful re-design of the
interior, greater levels of space and comfort have been achieved for
both pilot and passenger – for the really tall pilot two inches of
extra leg room is available.
Seven small storage areas, plus the doubling in size of the aft
baggage bay means that there is plenty of space available for
extended touring holidays.
A new conventional tail wheel arrangement has
been designed for the XS which increases the wheelbase by 23% and
makes the aircraft easier to handle on the ground for less
experienced pilots.
The recommended engines for the Europa are the Rotax 912 80 bhp,
912S 100 bhp and the Rotax 914 Turbo version giving 115 bhp for
takeoff and a maximum continuous power of 100 bhp.
