I built a Nynja

[Blueadventures]

Well, our new Nynja flies well according to Greg. There are some minor issues to deal with but they will soon be ironed out. The weather on the day could not ahve been better and Greg managed some spectacular landings.Check out the video

 

Hi Scott I purchased a Nynja kit from Mark Allen on Saturday, I live in Mackay and presently sorting my shed and arranging the components. Would you mind if I asked so questions from time to time once I get started; especially about any tips and improvement type of things. Mark mentioned about your way of trimming the engine cowl etc.

Thanks Mike

I've got the rego papers back from RA-Aus and now just waiting for the weather and my schedule to line up with the test pilot's schedule. Won't be long though.LOL, I didn't know they published that until people started emailing me. Where I live, I get the mail a day later than on the mainland.

Is that a Taswegian flag below your Avatar?

Possibly mistaken but I dint see the pilot using up elevator, during ground opps, to reduce stress on nose wheel

Thanks for the update Mike.

Fitted an AvMap Ultra efis to Ben’s Nynja built by Scott and did the crankshaft check required for that model. Nice to have two Nynja’s in the hangar.

A newer model main gear one piece leg has been fitted to ‘Spirit of Kittyhawk’ and Ben flew her today and likes the feel of it.  A full upgrade to 600 kg will be completed in the future, just awaiting some parts from the factory and the sign off for RAA w&b ratings.

Spirit of Kittyhawk is getting wing tanks fitted. Owner Ben has been keen for them and we were waiting on the thicker three hole aft wing bracket to go with the thicker and beefed up front bracket.  The rear bracket is optional for the 600kg upgrade but I got a set to put in my Nynja and got a set for Ben. Weather is for ducks up here so not missing any flying. Made a bracket to spread the wing tubes and works a treat. Epoxy and mat fill for fuel filler and the two fuel drains no longer needed. Also strengthened flap handle and its mounting tube doubler.
