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?

Good question I will have to look. It's a sweet apple on jab motor and gives cruise of 82 knots.

A question - why VH reg and not 19-nnnn? What are the benefits vs. downside?

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

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...
