				Hi Lucio
   
  why not? And also girlfriends, flying mothers and mothers in law, daughters  and do not forget all those mistresses.
   
  Without my wife OH-XRT would have never been completed. Without her  neverending support I would have stopped flying. When building we got married.  So, she is vital and very virile part of my Europa life. 
   
  The Plan is to join Europa Mile High Club 
   
  (after autopilot installation and some practise that should be performable  happily and safely. That would be also very romantic because I have there  zillions of dimmable red lights and also slow bedroom music via Bluetooth from  B&O´s MP3. 
   
  Just wonder who will be the very first Europa child who has been  manufactured in the (flying) Europa. Some of you may think that is impossible  because CofG but that is well solveable. My wife is behind my shoulder and will  press delete quite soon so I have to move on...
   
  How many female Europa pilots there are? How many of you have a lady – wife  or not – who want to fly with you? Maybe some  of you have many of them? How many then (You all remember my personal record is  to fly Europa with three ladies omboard). Would you like to share your “Lady in  Europa” photos? Maybe this a a place for some kind competition? 
   
  I know couple of them like Frans Veldman´s charming wife Ilona. Also Stefan  Ingemarson´s flying lady and Dirk Oyen´s Chantal are magnificent. Maybe that is  something to do with Europas!
   
  BTW My wife Marke wants me to teach her to fly Europa unofficially. Just  for fun and just in case, you know. Our goal is she could make a safe landing  during this year. I mean a safe Mono landing...with some air in the tube please.  That air should be between ground and a center axle.

  Thanks for a Slime tip – I will check it out immediately.

 Hi  Ravio, 
   
 Are  we starting a “readers wives” section on this forum – just curious  ? 
   
 Best  stuff to avoid tyre going flat is “slime”.  http://www.slime.com/ 
   
 Great  stuff – even use it in my car tyres.

 Dear  All,
   
  
   
 it is a long time since  I have been here. Today it happened something and I got an Europa Energy Burst  (aka ENB) to write on the list. I think this could be useful info for most of  you Europa (or any GA plane) operators. Let me tell you what was it and how it  went:
   
  
   
 ***
   
  
   
 I have worked couple of  years to make an Europa story to the largest All and Universal Technical  Scandinavian Magazine which is published in the Scandinavian countries. I have  had several flying experiences with their very speciall aviation editor. Today  we decided to fly to one very remote airfield. Everything went as normally.  
   
  
   
 Please notice I have a  Monowheel, The Most Sexy GA ever built.
   
  
   
 ***
   
  
   
 Just after a touchdown  I
   
  
   
 - smelled a well burned  rubber and then after
   
 - noticed immediately a  strong autobrakeing
   
 - noticed immeadiately  the position of the aircraft is not normal (too low and too  leveled)
   
 - noticed a rumbling  noise
   
 - noticed it is not  *very* well steerable or att all and so we went out of the runway to the port  side of the grass area
   
  
   
 We went out of the  runway. That concrete runway 33 was quite narrow, just 6 metres or about 20  feets only. I understood at once what was the name of the game. During first  seconds I was wondering if it (tha plane) will be inverted. The brakeing effect  was so hard. After seconds I was wondering if I will lose only my prop (and  engine) at least. It took only seconds. We stopped and I ask the editor how  about if I will now switch off the fuel pump, electrics, engine, are you ok and  how do you feel now?  
   
  
   
 What a story for a  newspaperman! 
   
  
   
 The landing was very  normal before the touch down. Let me say, I had completed 416 pcs of an Europa  Monowheel landings and this was better than 8 (0-10) just before touch down . I  (we) assume the tire/tyre was empty before landing. Not a big bang when landing  at all, no no.
   
  
   
 ***
   
  
   
 During the years we  (Europa Operators) have speculated what will happen when landing a mono with an  empty tire /tyre. Now I /we know: If lucky nothing! My prop was still a virgin  (configuration: Warp Drive blades with a wonderful Airmaster hub from NZ). The  soil out of the runway was quite soft. There was still a clearance between the  mother ground and the blades about 50 mm /2 inches. I kept the stick hard back  during the landing. Some of you may remember I do love high speed landings like  on final 70 knots and during a touch down around 60 knots. The brakeing effect  was very strong because of an empty main (and only!) tire /tyre: it took only  less than 100 metres /300 feets from touch down point to the final stop. Zero  winds. Runway is a bit upphill.
   
  
   
 ***
   
  
   
 After I checked I am ok  and my co-pilot was also ok and my plane was about ok I called bureacrats as  they call to do in Finland immediately. The Police came and people from The Air  Accident Investigators called me. That was an Finnish Army Airbase also. They  came and tried to help us by giving some air to my empty wheel but do not  succeeded because the inner tube was totally destroyed during the landing (just  300 metres from us they – Finnish Army - were launching unmannned planes by  steam catapult). 
   
  
   
 ***
   
  
   
 I called my loving (and  sooo beautiful) wife and she took immediately the spare inner tube with her from  our hangar and was heading by car with a trailer 200 km /125 miles to us.  Without a special jacking block which I always carry with me it would have been  impossible task to lift the Mono upp and take the wheel out and change an inner  tube for a new one. All together it took 6 hours until we were flyable again.  Let me say The Editor still wanted to fly with me back to EFTP. We completed  some touches and goes to check would it be again empty or not. It was not. What  a smile.

 Fuck!  
   
  
   
 I have operatored my  Europa 4 seasons and this was my 4th case of an empty and a broken main wheel!  This was a first experience during a landing. All the other cases have been  during taxiing or so. Why?! I have an original size and a brand of an inner tube  which is 8.00 – 7(6) which means it is ok for a size 7 and 6. They say so. I had  two years an original outer tyre /tire which was like from a colf car but after  earlier incidents I changed it for a real aircraft tyre /tire (brand name Air  Trac). Always the hole has been in the side of the inner tyre. It has  always been let me say about 10 mm /0,4 inches) long  crack.
   
  
   
 I (I point *I*) assume  that is the question of the bad quality of the Deli (made in Indonesian) innner  tyres. 
   
  
   
 ***
   
  
   
 Let me and we all know  the source for the high quality inner tubes please!
   
  
   
 Let me and all know is  there any clever stuff to put inside of the inner tube *before* accident to  prevent this kinds of accidents.
   
  
   
 We all know there are  stuffs to put inside the inner tubes to make our day *after* it is empty. That  is not a solution and nothing to do with a catastrophic failure when the crack  is 10 mm or wider.
   
  
   
 I /we need a  possibility to prevent this kind of (very stupid)  not-so-purpose-to-happend-accidents.

 Monowheels pilots –  please do not ever fly far away w/o a lifting block. That is a  sensation.

				...oh yes Bob I have always known what you  really enjoy and what kind of a man you are. All the females wants to suck you  at least those two horny mosquitos once here.
  IMHO EMHC is possible but at least one of a club  member must have quite a tiny and flexible body and of course open mind to  perform things.
  I have completed all the geometrics and  calculations and personally I am ready t go.
  My wife (she again!) need a bit preparering  & fixing & practising but I am sure she is also good to go sooner or  later.
  My plan is to take a photo from a session and  glue it at a large format to the D-panel.
   
  Raimo OH-XRT
   
  BTW I am not sure is the traditional  pen-e-tration must to be (E)MHC a member with full rights and honour. Maybe just  a perfect o-ral play is accepted.
  Someone should call to Club President John  Travolta (pilot & owner B-707-138 and Gulfstream G-V for personal  recreational use).

 Hi  Lucio
   
  
   
 why not? And also  girlfriends, flying mothers and mothers in law, daughters and do not forget all  those mistresses.
   
  
   
 Without my wife OH-XRT  would have never been completed. Without her neverending support I would have  stopped flying. When building we got married. So, she is vital and very virile  part of my Europa life. 
   
  
   
 The Plan is to join  Europa Mile High Club 
   
  
   
 (after autopilot  installation and some practise that should be performable happily and safely.  That would be also very romantic because I have there zillions of dimmable red  lights and also slow bedroom music via Bluetooth from B&O´s MP3.  
   
  
   
 Just wonder who will be  the very first Europa child who has been manufactured in the (flying) Europa.  Some of you may think that is impossible because CofG but that is well  solveable. My wife is behind my shoulder and will press delete quite soon so I  have to move on...
   
  
   
 How many female Europa  pilots there are? How many of you have a lady – wife or not – who  want to fly with you? Maybe  some of you have many of them? How many then (You all remember my personal  record is to fly Europa with three ladies omboard). Would you like to share your  “Lady in Europa” photos? Maybe this a a place for some kind competition?  
   
  
   
 I know couple of them  like Frans Veldman´s charming wife Ilona. Also Stefan Ingemarson´s flying lady  and Dirk Oyen´s Chantal are magnificent. Maybe that is something to do with  Europas!
   
  
   
 BTW My wife Marke wants  me to teach her to fly Europa unofficially. Just for fun and just in case, you  know. Our goal is she could make a safe landing during this year. I mean a safe  Mono landing...with some air in the tube please. That air should be between  ground and a center axle.

 Hi  Ravio, 
   
 Are  we starting a “readers wives” section on this forum – just curious  ? 
   
 Best  stuff to avoid tyre going flat is “slime”.  http://www.slime.com/ 
   
 Great  stuff – even use it in my car tyres.

 Dear  All,
   
  
   
 it is a long time since  I have been here. Today it happened something and I got an Europa Energy Burst  (aka ENB) to write on the list. I think this could be useful info for most of  you Europa (or any GA plane) operators. Let me tell you what was it and how it  went:
   
  
   
 ***
   
  
   
 I have worked couple of  years to make an Europa story to the largest All and Universal Technical  Scandinavian Magazine which is published in the Scandinavian countries. I have  had several flying experiences with their very speciall aviation editor. Today  we decided to fly to one very remote airfield. Everything went as normally.  
   
  
   
 Please notice I have a  Monowheel, The Most Sexy GA ever built.
   
  
   
 ***
   
  
   
 Just after a touchdown  I
   
  
   
 - smelled a well burned  rubber and then after
   
 - noticed immediately a  strong autobrakeing
   
 - noticed immeadiately  the position of the aircraft is not normal (too low and too  leveled)
   
 - noticed a rumbling  noise
   
 - noticed it is not  *very* well steerable or att all and so we went out of the runway to the port  side of the grass area
   
  
   
 We went out of the  runway. That concrete runway 33 was quite narrow, just 6 metres or about 20  feets only. I understood at once what was the name of the game. During first  seconds I was wondering if it (tha plane) will be inverted. The brakeing effect  was so hard. After seconds I was wondering if I will lose only my prop (and  engine) at least. It took only seconds. We stopped and I ask the editor how  about if I will now switch off the fuel pump, electrics, engine, are you ok and  how do you feel now?  
   
  
   
 What a story for a  newspaperman! 
   
  
   
 The landing was very  normal before the touch down. Let me say, I had completed 416 pcs of an Europa  Monowheel landings and this was better than 8 (0-10) just before touch down . I  (we) assume the tire/tyre was empty before landing. Not a big bang when landing  at all, no no.
   
  
   
 ***
   
  
   
 During the years we  (Europa Operators) have speculated what will happen when landing a mono with an  empty tire /tyre. Now I /we know: If lucky nothing! My prop was still a virgin  (configuration: Warp Drive blades with a wonderful Airmaster hub from NZ). The  soil out of the runway was quite soft. There was still a clearance between the  mother ground and the blades about 50 mm /2 inches. I kept the stick hard back  during the landing. Some of you may remember I do love high speed landings like  on final 70 knots and during a touch down around 60 knots. The brakeing effect  was very strong because of an empty main (and only!) tire /tyre: it took only  less than 100 metres /300 feets from touch down point to the final stop. Zero  winds. Runway is a bit upphill.
   
  
   
 ***
   
  
   
 After I checked I am ok  and my co-pilot was also ok and my plane was about ok I called bureacrats as  they call to do in Finland immediately. The Police came and people from The Air  Accident Investigators called me. That was an Finnish Army Airbase also. They  came and tried to help us by giving some air to my empty wheel but do not  succeeded because the inner tube was totally destroyed during the landing (just  300 metres from us they – Finnish Army - were launching unmannned planes by  steam catapult). 
   
  
   
 ***
   
  
   
 I called my loving (and  sooo beautiful) wife and she took immediately the spare inner tube with her from  our hangar and was heading by car with a trailer 200 km /125 miles to us.  Without a special jacking block which I always carry with me it would have been  impossible task to lift the Mono upp and take the wheel out and change an inner  tube for a new one. All together it took 6 hours until we were flyable again.  Let me say The Editor still wanted to fly with me back to EFTP. We completed  some touches and goes to check would it be again empty or not. It was not. What  a smile.
   
  
   
 Attached a pic “an  accident place, my plane, my Wife and Mr Editor doing tire /tyre changeing  jobs”. 
   
  
   
 ***
   
  
   
 Fuck!  
   
  
   
 I have operatored my  Europa 4 seasons and this was my 4th case of an empty and a broken main wheel!  This was a first experience during a landing. All the other cases have been  during taxiing or so. Why?! I have an original size and a brand of an inner tube  which is 8.00 – 7(6) which means it is ok for a size 7 and 6. They say so. I had  two years an original outer tyre /tire which was like from a colf car but after  earlier incidents I changed it for a real aircraft tyre /tire (brand name Air  Trac). Always the hole has been in the side of the inner tyre. It has  always been let me say about 10 mm /0,4 inches) long  crack.
   
  
   
 I (I point *I*) assume  that is the question of the bad quality of the Deli (made in Indonesian) innner  tyres. 
   
  
   
 ***
   
  
   
 Let me and we all know  the source for the high quality inner tubes please!
   
  
   
 Let me and all know is  there any clever stuff to put inside of the inner tube *before* accident to  prevent this kinds of accidents.
   
  
   
 We all know there are  stuffs to put inside the inner tubes to make our day *after* it is empty. That  is not a solution and nothing to do with a catastrophic failure when the crack  is 10 mm or wider.
   
  
   
 I /we need a  possibility to prevent this kind of (very stupid)  not-so-purpose-to-happend-accidents.
   
  
   
 ***
   
  
   
 Monowheels pilots –  please do not ever fly far away w/o a lifting block. That is a  sensation.
   
  
   
 Thanks for Mr. Dirk van  Oyen from Belgium (first time in use a day after a Maiden Flight – that was  30.04.2007).
   
  
   
 ***
   
  
   
 Thanks for this  wonderful chance to share and make my day. 
   
  
   
 I have many topics to  talk with you. Many questions to answer. Many things to do since the end of the  last summer. I will come back. 
   
  
   
 Thanks you are there.  All of you.

				Well Duane,
   
  Let us say as follows:
   
  There are certain degrees to be a Member of EMHC, like dans in  karate
   
  - if you even think about Europa same time during your personal  intime maneuvers, you could earn The 1st Level Membership of EMHC
   
  - previous and any Europa must be visible same time (typical  hangar s-ex), you could earn The 2nd Level Membership of EMHC
   
  - if you perform any kind of very adult operation in any Europa,  you could earn The 3rd Level (Europa is accepted to be not completed yet)
   
  - if you complete full operation in any Europa – completed or not  – you will earn The 4th Level
   
  - if you manage to performance any kind of s-ex uality in any Europa which  is airborne – you will earn The 5th Level
   
  - if you manage to make full love as per original instructions in  any Europa which is airborne  - you will earn The 6th Level
   
  - if you manage to make full love as per original  instructions at an altitude minimum one mile (QNH) in a certain flying Europa  which is yours and you have built it and both of you get same time The 7th  heaven, you will earn The 7th Level Membership of EMHC for ever and  when  it is finally time to fly the last flight to the west, all the other Members  will pay you an engraved gravestone with the text 7Th Level EMHC Member  XX RIP.
   
  These rules were made in less than 15 minutes so there is maybe reasons to  calibrate them a bit.
   
  Anyway Mike, I think you well earn The 1st Level or even The 2nd or 3rd  Level Membership of EMHC. You know it better.
  Still you have steps to go  up with your wife.
  The 4th and 5th level is easy to earn (at least if you have Europa to do  that).
  The 6th level is a great challenge.
  The 7th level is lke climbing to the Everest BUT certainly  possible for a human person, but she/he must first build a real plane which  happen to be Europa, the she/he must a capable pilot, she/he must have a very  special couple – married or not – obviously they have to like each others very  much and continusly and with passion and (this is the hardest point) they must  be in a very good condition; body shape, weight, flexibility and so. But it is  earnable. 
   
  A good reason to take care physically of yourself and your couple.
   
  When practising – please remember do it in very remote areas, high enough,  use autopilot, take care of C of G, watch out, do not push your couple and let  her/him to do it as a volunteer. Maybe it would be a good idea to film it. What  a member for you and what a sensation if you are brave enough to share it.
   
  If you think a bit this is not so stupid.
   
  In fact, are not we all at least The 1st Level Members?
   
  
 
 Cheers, Raimo Toivio

All the females wants to suck you  at least those two horny mosquitos once here.
  IMHO EMHC is possible but at least one of a club  member must have quite a tiny and flexible body and of course open mind to  perform things.
  I have completed all the geometrics and  calculations and personally I am ready t go.
  My wife (she again!) need a bit preparering  & fixing & practising but I am sure she is also good to go sooner or  later.
  My plan is to take a photo from a session and  glue it at a large format to the D-panel.

  BTW I am not sure is the traditional  pen-e-tration must to be (E)MHC a member with full rights and honour. Maybe just  a perfect o-ral play is accepted.
  Someone should call to Club President John  Travolta (pilot & owner B-707-138 and Gulfstream G-V for personal  recreational use).

     Hi  Lucio
 
    
 
   why not? And also  girlfriends, flying mothers and mothers in law, daughters and do not forget all  those mistresses.
 
    
 
   Without my wife OH-XRT  would have never been completed. Without her neverending support I would have  stopped flying. When building we got married. So, she is vital and very virile  part of my Europa life. 
 
    
 
   The Plan is to join  Europa Mile High Club 
 
    
 
   (after autopilot  installation and some practise that should be performable happily and safely.  That would be also very romantic because I have there zillions of dimmable red  lights and also slow bedroom music via Bluetooth from B&O´s MP3.  
 
    
 
   Just wonder who will be  the very first Europa child who has been manufactured in the (flying) Europa.  Some of you may think that is impossible because CofG but that is well  solveable. My wife is behind my shoulder and will press delete quite soon so I  have to move on...
 
    
 
   How many female Europa  pilots there are? How many of you have a lady – wife or not – who  want to fly with you? Maybe  some of you have many of them? How many then (You all remember my personal  record is to fly Europa with three ladies omboard). Would you like to share your  “Lady in Europa” photos? Maybe this a a place for some kind competition?  
 
    
 
   I know couple of them  like Frans Veldman´s charming wife Ilona. Also Stefan Ingemarson´s flying lady  and Dirk Oyen´s Chantal are magnificent. Maybe that is something to do with  Europas!
 
    
 
   BTW My wife Marke wants  me to teach her to fly Europa unofficially. Just for fun and just in case, you  know. Our goal is she could make a safe landing during this year. I mean a safe  Mono landing...with some air in the tube please. That air should be between  ground and a center axle.

   Hi  Ravio,
   
  Are  we starting a “readers wives” section on this forum – just curious  ?
   
  Best  stuff to avoid tyre going flat is “slime”. http://www.slime.com/
   
  Great  stuff – even use it in my car tyres.
   
  Good  Luck

      Dear  All,
 
    
 
   it is a long time since  I have been here. Today it happened something and I got an Europa Energy Burst  (aka ENB) to write on the list. I think this could be useful info for most of  you Europa (or any GA plane) operators. Let me tell you what was it and how it  went:
 
    
 
   ***
 
    
 
   I have worked couple of  years to make an Europa story to the largest All and Universal Technical  Scandinavian Magazine which is published in the Scandinavian countries. I have  had several flying experiences with their very speciall aviation editor. Today  we decided to fly to one very remote airfield. Everything went as normally.  
 
    
 
   Please notice I have a  Monowheel, The Most Sexy GA ever built.
 
    
 
   ***
 
    
 
   Just after a touchdown  I
 
    
 
   - smelled a well burned  rubber and then after
 
   - noticed immediately a  strong autobrakeing
 
   - noticed immeadiately  the position of the aircraft is not normal (too low and too  leveled)
 
   - noticed a rumbling  noise
 
   - noticed it is not  *very* well steerable or att all and so we went out of the runway to the port  side of the grass area
 
    
 
   We went out of the  runway. That concrete runway 33 was quite narrow, just 6 metres or about 20  feets only. I understood at once what was the name of the game. During first  seconds I was wondering if it (tha plane) will be inverted. The brakeing effect  was so hard. After seconds I was wondering if I will lose only my prop (and  engine) at least. It took only seconds. We stopped and I ask the editor how  about if I will now switch off the fuel pump, electrics, engine, are you ok and  how do you feel now?  
 
    
 
   What a story for a  newspaperman! 
 
    
 
   The landing was very  normal before the touch down. Let me say, I had completed 416 pcs of an Europa  Monowheel landings and this was better than 8 (0-10) just before touch down . I  (we) assume the tire/tyre was empty before landing. Not a big bang when landing  at all, no no.
 
    
 
   ***
 
    
 
   During the years we  (Europa Operators) have speculated what will happen when landing a mono with an  empty tire /tyre. Now I /we know: If lucky nothing! My prop was still a virgin  (configuration: Warp Drive blades with a wonderful Airmaster hub from NZ). The  soil out of the runway was quite soft. There was still a clearance between the  mother ground and the blades about 50 mm /2 inches. I kept the stick hard back  during the landing. Some of you may remember I do love high speed landings like  on final 70 knots and during a touch down around 60 knots. The brakeing effect  was very strong because of an empty main (and only!) tire /tyre: it took only  less than 100 metres /300 feets from touch down point to the final stop. Zero  winds. Runway is a bit upphill.
 
    
 
   ***
 
    
 
   After I checked I am ok  and my co-pilot was also ok and my plane was about ok I called bureacrats as  they call to do in Finland immediately. The Police came and people from The Air  Accident Investigators called me. That was an Finnish Army Airbase also. They  came and tried to help us by giving some air to my empty wheel but do not  succeeded because the inner tube was totally destroyed during the landing (just  300 metres from us they – Finnish Army - were launching unmannned planes by  steam catapult). 
 
    
 
   ***
 
    
 
   I called my loving (and  sooo beautiful) wife and she took immediately the spare inner tube with her from  our hangar and was heading by car with a trailer 200 km /125 miles to us.  Without a special jacking block which I always carry with me it would have been  impossible task to lift the Mono upp and take the wheel out and change an inner  tube for a new one. All together it took 6 hours until we were flyable again.  Let me say The Editor still wanted to fly with me back to EFTP. We completed  some touches and goes to check would it be again empty or not. It was not. What  a smile.
 
    
 
   Attached a pic “an  accident place, my plane, my Wife and Mr Editor doing tire /tyre changeing  jobs”. 
 
    
 
   ***
 
    
 
   Fuck!  
 
    
 
   I have operatored my  Europa 4 seasons and this was my 4th case of an empty and a broken main wheel!  This was a first experience during a landing. All the other cases have been  during taxiing or so. Why?! I have an original size and a brand of an inner tube  which is 8.00 – 7(6) which means it is ok for a size 7 and 6. They say so. I had  two years an original outer tyre /tire which was like from a colf car but after  earlier incidents I changed it for a real aircraft tyre /tire (brand name Air  Trac). Always the hole has been in the side of the inner tyre. It has  always been let me say about 10 mm /0,4 inches) long crack.
 
    
 
   I (I point *I*) assume  that is the question of the bad quality of the Deli (made in Indonesian) innner  tyres. 
 
    
 
   ***
 
    
 
   Let me and we all know  the source for the high quality inner tubes please!
 
    
 
   Let me and all know is  there any clever stuff to put inside of the inner tube *before* accident to  prevent this kinds of accidents.
 
    
 
   We all know there are  stuffs to put inside the inner tubes to make our day *after* it is empty. That  is not a solution and nothing to do with a catastrophic failure when the crack  is 10 mm or wider.
 
    
 
   I /we need a  possibility to prevent this kind of (very stupid)  not-so-purpose-to-happend-accidents.
 
    
 
   ***
 
    
 
   Monowheels pilots –  please do not ever fly far away w/o a lifting block. That is a  sensation.
 
    
 
   Thanks for Mr. Dirk van  Oyen from Belgium (first time in use a day after a Maiden Flight – that was  30.04.2007).
 
    
 
   ***
 
    
 
   Thanks for this  wonderful chance to share and make my day. 
 
    
 
   I have many topics to  talk with you. Many questions to answer. Many things to do since the end of the  last summer. I will come back. 
 
    
 
   Thanks you are there.  All of you. 
 
    
 
   ***
 
    
 
   Specially Mr Kingsley  from Oz and Mr Fred Klein from US.
 
    
 
   I am happy you are  there.

				 	  | Quote: | 	 		    - if you even think about Europa same time during your personal   intime maneuvers, you could earn The 1st Level Membership of EMHC
    
   I received my kit in 2002.....but this stage was reached the previous year. SHHHHH! Don't tell her!
     
    - previous and any Europa must be visible same time (typical   hangar s-ex), you could earn The 2nd Level Membership of EMHC
    
   That was achieved years ago.
     
    - if you perform any kind of very adult operation in any Europa,   you could earn The 3rd Level (Europa is accepted to be not completed yet)
    
   The wife and I discussed membership in the MHC and so the action was done as a learning experience......purely in the name of science.
     
    - if you complete full operation in any Europa – completed or not  – you will earn The 4th Level 
    
   I'll have to show this email to the wife to check on her willingness....this might involve jewelry!
     
    - if you manage to performance any kind of s-ex uality in any Europa which   is airborne – you will earn The 5th Level
    
   More incentive to finish the build.
     
    - if you manage to make full love as per original instructions in   any Europa which is airborne  - you will earn The 6th Level
     
    - if you manage to make full love as per original   instructions at an altitude minimum one mile (QNH) in a certain flying Europa   which is yours and you have built it and both of you get same time The 7th   heaven, you will earn The 7th Level Membership of EMHC for ever and  when   it is finally time to fly the last flight to the west, all the other Members   will pay you an engraved gravestone with the text 7Th Level EMHC Member   XX RIP.
    
   This would definately be worth the risk!

				Hi Fellow Europaphiles,
 Here are some pix of my lovely wife Donna, (I sometimes call her "Donna Belle"). She enjoys flying with me every chance she gets. We don't hesitate to abandon things at home if the weather is good, for a $100 hamburger or an overnighter at the beach. We have talked much about the EMHC but have yet to figure out the inflight anatomical geometry of said deed. No videos for sure Raimo.
 
 Best Regards,
 Troy and Donna Maynor

				Among many exotic or special ways of acquiring enjoyment is watching women without clothes. This may be an act of art also for some person. So you are able to visit http://myteenwebcam.com if you prefer this kind of video. It is not recommended to visit it if you are under 21 by the way. The collection of videos is available almost around the clock.

				Well, I can't compete on the lady front for quality, except of course for my perfect wife, but I can make up to some extent with quantity! My Wonderful Angel and I go to modern jive dance classes twice a week, as we have done since we met there almost 15 years ago.
 
 My goal is to reach at least 1000 different people being taken for a flight in my Europa before I'm "past it" and those people should never previously have been up in a small 2 seat aircraft in their lives. Already I've exceeded 500 such passengers and at least 300 were women. Perhaps this is because I don't tend to dance with men!
 
 Naturally each and every passenger meets with the approval of "She who must be obeyed", so I've never gotten past first base. In any case at nearly 70, I wouldn't know what to do if anything were offered anyway. Furthermore that's never been the objective.
 
 Here's how we get "down and dirty" twice a week, doing everything and more dance moves than seen in this link:
 
 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-P7Igr81DEg
 
 And our legs don't risk getting entangled in flying controls. I guess you would have to remove the right side control stick to achieve level 6 or 7!
