Brendan, you quoted speed of 65kts with high cruise of 80kts. I had an X-air standard with a 618 for 10 years. The cruise speed was around 55-60kts. No way could we get 80kts. The X-air stated cruise is 54kts & a max speed of 65kts with VNE 82kts

Later models of the X-air were made with a wide entry kit option. Getting in & out was just a matter of technique. -

Flew an X-air for 8 years & loved it but I am only 6'2" & 63kg wet🤣. Definately worth a try. -

1934 film about London (Croydon) Airport

Great video & strange to see the swastika displayed on the tail of the German aircraft. -
Landed in a pugged out cattle paddock once, never again. Nearly rattled every tooth out of my mouth!!

Tried to buy some engine mounts for my homebuilt trike from Flexible Drive long time ago. When I mentioned what they were for they refused point blank to sell them to me. Had to send a mate in to buy them for a go-cart. That seemed to work lol. -
X-Air Standard. Is it surviving the test of time?
prwood replied to Hunsta's topic in Other Rec Aircraft
I co-owned one for 10 years from 2004. It was a joy to fly. We had a 618 which was discontinued by Rotax but it proved to be very reliable & I believe there is a company in the states that can do a re-build including the crankshaft. Airframe quality was fine, simple bolted tubing, easy to inspect & maintain. -
