shafs64 Posted January 10, 2014 Author Posted January 10, 2014 went down to Evans head today hoping to some pictures of aircraft arriving but due to the weather this is all I got!!

shafs64 Posted January 10, 2014 Author Posted January 10, 2014 yes you might think I don't like STOL aircraft. hope the aircraft owner is not offended
rotax618 Posted January 25, 2014 Posted January 25, 2014 G'day, the Savannah was mine, flew down on Friday before the action. I'm not offended. Cheers
shafs64 Posted January 26, 2014 Author Posted January 26, 2014 ok I just came out of the F111 display and had to race over to get that shot and change to the zoom lens. here the other picture of your Aircraft.
rotax618 Posted January 26, 2014 Posted January 26, 2014 Great photos thanks. Anyone pick the model of the Savannah, its a VG with an XL front. Cheers

rotax618 Posted January 26, 2014 Posted January 26, 2014 The firewall on all of the Savannah models ( VG, XL & S) are the same size as is the bulkhead behind the seat. The difference is that the firewall has about 6deg more rake on the VG. ICP decreased the angle, it may explain why XLs are having more nose wheel problems because they have much less camber i.e. the nose wheel is more upright and is subject to greater loads when steering at speed. I used an XL engine frame, with spacers to make up for the greater rake, and ring mount but I will be building a new engine frame. The cowl needs a little bit added to make up for the increased angle. Cheers

shags_j Posted January 17, 2015 Posted January 17, 2015 Not sure that would have been better or worse :(
