Europa
This sailplane was conceived as a state-of-the-art design for F3B competition. It utilizes a combination of European, American, and unique features to produce a highly competitive F3B machine. Foam and fiberglass technology is used for an extremely strong structure that can handle the most powerful of winches while having a moderate empty weight. The unballasted wing loading is in the range of 11.5 oz./sq. ft. The fiberglass fuselage and foam wing cores are being made commercially available at a nominal cost to assist the average modeler in reproducing the Sailplane. It should be stated at the onset that the author has not competed in world class F3B competition or the American team trials.
