Has anyone tried the electric carby heat.I have replaced my air box with cone filters and looking for carby heat replacement. I have looked at the coolant type, but think the electric would be better. Cheers Sam

Has anyone had any problems with carby ice in there savannah.If so how long did they have to use carby heat for? Any info would be great. Thanks Sam

Plane looks great .Enjoy it as much as u can ,nothing better to clear the head than flying time.

Terry do the fuel caps screw on to the existing filler caps ?I can see that they are put on with screws on the outside,they look like a good solution.Thanks Sam

Has anybody had anything to do with the brumbie helicopters in the raa magazine.They look great , think it would be good for low flying on stations.Any info would be good.Cheers Sam

I had Evans coolant in my old savannah, spent the hole time chasing leaks.It also ran hotter I toke it out and put in 50 50 water glycol mix.Runs cooler and no leaks.

yeh will do eightyknots

Well this has been an interesting experience. I have learned a few very helpful things from the toing and froing withing this forum. Thankyou to all who posted constructive and helpful information. It was never my intention to upset anyone but i had a (seemingly fairly common problem) that i was asking for advice about. I have sealed the wing roots and broblem solved. Perhaps my honesty in admiting that i do on occasion spill a bit of fuel may have missdircted the discussion at times. The Savannah is a great little plane. On a lighter note, im off to spot sheep stranded in flood water for some local station owner for the next few days. Another 5 or 6 hours seeing some fantastic sights is always a bright spot. The flood waters are amazing out here. Cheers Sam.

Blocked holes in wing root inside cabin instant fix .Thanks for your advive Mark cheap and easy fix. Thankyou everyone for your advice.All so put sealer around tank outlets or fill spouts seems to have fixed problem if you spill a bit of fuel while filling. Thanks all Sam

Sorry Mark , will seal off the wing holes inside as well good advice thankyou Sam

Thanks everyone for your advice , i've bought some fuel salastic for the tanks, for around the filler caps and rechecked everything.Ranlamateur i'm not sure who reg is but any good help would be great.I'll keep looking and if i find anyhthing i'll let you all know. Thanks Sam

Yeh thanks i've had the same problem,it comes out of the far left tank,Manly in rough weather or if you are turning alot.I wonder if the fumes are coming in from the wings from spilling fuel when filling up.We use drum fuel and it's a bit hard when filling up by yourself.I herd of a fellow selling his because of the fumes , it was a factory built one.

Thanks turbo I forgot to say the fumes seems to get worst when its been sitting.

Hi everyone,haveing problems with fuel fumes in the cabin of my savannah,just wondering if anone else is haveing the same problems.I've checked all the fuel lines, joins and connections .Any advice would be great .Doesn't make the best flying conditions. Thanks Sam

Just work out who Steve Bell is will send an email thanks Wayne
