Europa has now delivered over 900 aircraft kits world-wide. The current XS model is designed to accept the glider wings. Builders have a choice of purchasing the kit with either the standard wings, the glider wings, or for pilots who must have the best of all worlds – both. The wings simply ‘mix and match’ – but if you do ‘mix’, they must ‘match’!

Builders and flyers of the Europa Classic are also able to retrofit the Motor Glider wings.  Similarly, those building the Europa Motor Glider can retrofit the standard short wings.
