Congratulations Bernie! John _www.southernxair.com_ (http://www.southernxair.com) In a message dated 4/30/2008 11:01:14 P.M. Eastern Daylight Time, ...
Well done Bernie! It will be truly great when you are flying in your own machine. Our project www.spiritofdevonyouth.org.uk is progressing well and we hope to...
I have a brand new Standard Xair Kit, still in the box that I am not going to have time to build this summer. I will let it go cheap, it is red with blue trim....
I have an H model with a Jab engine and approximately 25 hours on it. Since day one it has required some right rudder depending on the speed. I've also...
Hi everyone, I'm building an H (#1152) and I need your advice on two topics:- 1. Has anyone with an H fitted the screen stoppers that are detailed in the...
Ian If you're referring to the windscreen spacers, I found that they were very necessary. The windscreen vibrates violently at low rpm's if you don't have...
We have never fitted the spacer/supports or felt that they were needed. Seamus ... From: Ian Wilson To: X-Air_Ultralight_Aircraft@yahoogroups.com Sent: Friday,...
Ian, same with my kit. The vibrations of the windscreen are too much. I got two pieces of acrylic blocks instead of the ugly looking rubber stopper. Works...
Hmmmm so that makes life difficult - two people have problems with the screen but others never have. Maybe I'll wait until I get the engine started and see...
Hi Chuck, I'm actually a little way from you - on the west coast of France. Been here for 8+ years and I'm only just getting round to building my plane! Ian...
Roger, You and I have the same airframe/engine with very close S/Ns and I have the same needing right rudder situation as you are experiencing. I was at the...
Dennis I'll be up this week to check it out. I've made some adjustments to try and compensate for the slackness in the right flap. The reason I think it still...
Is it just my plane or do other light planes dip a wing down to a 30 degre bank in a heartbeat when in rough air at 60 mph(sometimes the left but mostly the...
Dennis, There doesn't seem to be enough information. If you mean a gust of wind from one side or the other, of course the plane will have a tendency to get...
Good post Bernardo! Dennis, if he's on track here, try and limit your flying to early am or late pm flights only until you get some time in . John In a...
Hi Michael, Thanks for the post, but the pictures seem to have been removed. Any chance you could email them directly to me?? Thanks in advance. Ian...
Thanks guys. But is my plane the only one that behaves like that, any more out there that drop a wing that far and quick? I know you think it's my pilot...
Dennis, Please don't think I'm talking about your pilot skills, in fact, any light wing loaded airplane is highly subject to turbulence. You have to learn to...
As soon as summer is comming my 582 blue heats is running over 80ºC water temperature around 90º(Climb) 85ºC(cruise); I have checked radiators, termostate,...
Manuel, It is a simple matter of not enough radiator if you're using the factory twins. Adding a third radiator, for example, another of the twins without ...
When I was flying gliders regularly, we used to look for thermals. If the glider hit a thermal off-centre, the wing in the stronger lift would be picked up....
I found that rudder, correctly applied is better than aileron for picking up a dropping wing in rough air. This seems to give a better, smoother ride.Please...
Does anyone else think the standard climbs like a runout Cessna 150? 65 Horsepower is almost boring at near gross weight. This plane is not light for the...
... Hello Fellow X-air pilots/builders. I own a Hanuman with a Jab 2.2 motor also. i had a requirement for right rudder to maintain straight and level. What...
I would take an X-Air out in winds that i wouldnt take anything else out such is the control and performance. It may just be the conditions or it may be the...
