XAIRVTW Posted April 10, 2012 Author Posted April 10, 2012 Same colour as my xair hanuman. Good stuff. Thanks. I had seen yours at Natfly Temora last year on the Xair display stand ,what propeller pitch are you runing on yours?
Spriteah Posted April 10, 2012 Posted April 10, 2012 Good question I will have to look. It's a sweet apple on jab motor and gives cruise of 82 knots.

fatmal Posted April 10, 2012 Posted April 10, 2012 Tony, congratulations on completing a build! A question - why VH reg and not 19-nnnn? What are the benefits vs. downside? Mal 1
XAIRVTW Posted April 10, 2012 Author Posted April 10, 2012 Thanks Mal. Why VH I hold a PPL & at the time of registering it RAA were in discussion with CASA to get a height increase & not sure if that was going to get passed. My personal opinnion is that SAAA are better orgainised than RAA. Benefits Rego is a one off payment not annual, I can fly in to controlled airspace. Downside getting the C of A was lot of extra work especially with weight & balance charts Xair manufacture is really limted they have a Excell programe where you in put the weights from your aircraft press enter & if the number comes up in the green she's in balance, CASA wants a little more than that so we had a bit of work to do on that. Cheers
Louis Moore Posted April 10, 2012 Posted April 10, 2012 Congrats on getting into the air. Well done. As a side note, you can still go into controlled airspace in RAA aircraft, just need a PPL and the required aircraft equipment like transponder etc... 1
