snaprolled Posted March 25, 2018 Posted March 25, 2018 Hi from Warragul, Victoria. Just landed? Actually, running as fast as I can for a little groundspeed... I'm restoring an early 95.10 Sapphire, after a break from flying for a while - like riding a bike, right?? Hoping this site will prove valuable as a source of info and encouragement
kasper Posted March 25, 2018 Posted March 25, 2018 Welcome. How early is your sapphire? Thick fabric wing with kfm107er engine - really early Thick wing inverted 377 - early Thin fibreglass swept wing inverted 447 - late 95.10 Have fun. Mine is/was one of the very early ones before I started modifying it
snaprolled Posted March 25, 2018 Author Posted March 25, 2018 Hey Kasper - originally 337... Now 503. Was built in '88, no fabric on wings. Has been "rebuilt" previously, so not sure what is original anymore...

Ok. Very late built 95.10 sapphire. If it’s got straight wings then be careful on -503 and cofg. The wings were swept on the 95.25 fibreglass sapphire to allow for the greater weight of the 447 and remain within safe cofg without weight on the nose. The 503 is heavier and even with swept wings you might need ballast on the nose.Any way. Enjoy.
