Did some more flying today in the Savannah. 

 

My right hand seems to be working better on the landing. but that flap handle is going to take some time.

Agree re the flap handle; they got that bit wrong and haven't fixed it.  Good to hear you got another fly in.

 

Hi mate.

 

it was good fun today we headed over to turtle park and got my landings sorted did some engine failures simulated back to the field. then headed back just in time for it to piss down.

Thats why I have sent out about 50+ flap brackets all over the world ?  solves that issue

 

No matter how hard you try you wont fix it with the std setup. Its made for smaller europeans

I find myself giving to much of my attention to the flap handle instead of were i should focus.

Which may be why I, as a small European, have had no problem with it in nearly 400 hours flying in my Savvy! ?

Congrats on losing all that weight!  I weigh less than 60kg and am 5ft 4in, so I guess that's why I haven't had an issue!

 

I like your new bracket - but as mine's a factory-built I couldn't really modify.

 

Do you know of people using electric flaps on the Sav?

 

Cheers,

 

Neil

Yes anyone with factory installed twin sticks has electric flaps. The local flying school sav here at Ycab has twin sticks and electric flaps. The std ICP twin stick set is crap too. The sticks are way too short and too close to Jim and the twins. This makes the sticks very heavy to use

I like the idea of an airplane with no fabric. I probably would have got one instead of a Foxbat except that I did not fit. The seat is not really lowerable.  The flap controls were the least of my problems. I have to console myself with an aluminium airplane with fabric control surfaces, just like a Spitfire or P-51 Mustang. (Actually, the underneath of the wings is fabric, too, on a Foxbat).

Sorry did you say he wants to get rid of the jabs? So the sav is popular at the school. I also like that that they award people there wings. you don't see that much at flight schools.

Yes he wants to get rid of them so I am told and stay with the R powered ones. The sav is always up. Its almost totally booked out every weekend. I didnt go through CRA I used a local instructor with a sav back all those years ago. Bill Grieve (Aeroskill) is about to stop training very soon i think.

It would be good when i am in Brisbane for an aircraft to hire. now that i am a sav convert i will say that i am lucky that the only aircraft for hire in mackay is a sav.

I am one of the fifty flap bracket purchasers! One additional feature is that Mark has factored in an extra flap position.
