All of the above is correct. Just the standard Tj and I'm not sure what the extra adapter is and does.

Hi Matt, Pouring from a normal 20ltr container into a funnel even up high on a ladder I had numerous spills and getting a bit of seepage around the Savannah fuel cap area and the inside wing section being open to the cabin create a strong fuel smell which was giving me the shits, especially when your about to go flying. So thought there's gotta be a better way and there is I got 1 20ltr and 2 10ltrs Tuff jug so can fill 40ltrs at a time. The TJ nozzles are design to fill farm bikes etc so easily fits inside the Savannah fuel inlet hole and so sits on the lip hole with the draining bit inside and u just let the weight of the fuel push down which opens up the nozzle and so you don't have to hold the weight of the container. Once the fuel reaches up to the nozzle it stops air getting into the container so the fuel stops flowing and you just lift it off and it's really that easy and can highly recommend these TJ. I have been using them for about 10 months and have never had a drop spilt, the 10ltrs are easy to lift and if you find the 20ltr a bit of a struggle a small ladder would definitely help. I don't bother filtering the fuel but others will have other ideas I'm sure. Cheers Guy.

Tuff Jug 20L Blue Ripper Cap Fuel Can at MXstore These are available in 10 and 20 ltrs and no problem filling my Savannah without a ladder and I've never had a overflow, spillage problem with these containers.

Thanks Downunder and SDQDI and others for the reply and I'm onto it

Wondering if anyone knows where you can buy these Pitch gauges from or has one for sale. I have done a seach and have come up empty. Couldn't get the second photo to load showing the actual gauge. Cheers Guy.

Wanted: 44 Gal drums - inner Sydney.
Guy s replied to flying dog's topic in AUS/NZ General Discussion
If you weren't a little closer I could've help you out as being a beekeeper and in the honey industry there was a change from the 44's to IBC's containers many years ago which left me with about 80 drums I had no use for. Still got a few drums kicking around. -
ONE MAGNIFICENT WOMAN - CAROLINE GRACE AND HER SPITFIRE.
Guy s replied to Phil Perry's topic in AUS/NZ General Discussion
Thanks for posting Phil and what a great read about a incredible woman and keeping part of our aviation history alive. -
Crikey!! Looks like a lot of fun but they can have that mmm maybe if i was 20yrs younger but love it also.
-
G'day Mike and welcome from another Savannah flyer. Interesting hearing about a Sav with the Jabiru motor and any chance of some photos.
-
Crikey!!! I might have to get something a little sleeker than the Savannah that can handle all those horse's
-
What a nifty gadget Aj and might look into this as I've often wondered when travelling outback how I'm going to get the wheel of if I had too.

The Lexan tabs goes inside the outer housing, if you cleco the Lexan you'll see how it shapes the front to suit the wing,

The bottom rod needs a slight bend to clear the tunnel.

I can't really answer that for you Bob, I guess it's a case of putting the petals back and having the seat right back or having the petals in the forward position and having the seat forward a touch and if you got taller passengers they won't be so cramp for leg room. Maybe someone of similar height to you can answer your question.
-
I've found the adjustable seats comfortable and very easy to take the seat out if you want to get them recovered or get into the underseat man hole is great and being able to adjust for leg room if needed for different people heights. I really don't know what the downside would be unless your 6ft3" or taller, a little extra weight maybe but my Sav came in at 307 kgs so still can carry full fuel and luggage with 2 85 kgs blokes. I like to know what reasons people are down on the adjustable seats ?

I did the same as Mark and took the Lexan to a tinting mob about a year ago and no problems with it. I got a Tint film that blocks out most of the UV as well and works a treat.

Pretty sad to hear this and Rick will be sadly missed in the Recreational aviation circles and his wealth of knowledge especially when it comes to Savannah's and his willingness to help. My Condolences to Rick's family and friends.

Me to Hank and yes Lismore CBD cop it bad and the surrounding area with many Business still haven't reopen and whether they will remains to be seen.

I did have the bolts done up in the tunnel but ended up taking 2 of them out and lining the holes on the fuse first, it was the only way I could get the holes to line up on the fuselage and the tunnel bolts weren't really a problem afterwards.
-
I had exactly the same problem and posted what you posted and was told by the guru to get brutal so I did, eventually I got it to fit but Crikey it wasn't easy and a few times I had to walked away for a day to recollect Lol and then come back to it to persevere. I used large multi grips with a hollow pipe on the handle to get leverage and twisted the SS to get the holes to line up. It was doable but Crikey and good luck
-
What a nice gesture JG and I have your number in my ph just in case but not planning on using it for that Lol. I sent you a email which did lack a little finer detail I know on a trip I'm planning out to Marree and many thanks for your kind reply and info and have taken it onboard, We still have a few months before we head off but will ring you closer to the trip to pick your brains. Cheers Guy.

Pretty cool video but don't think my skinny bones could handle that cool air.

Thanks IBob and FIL65 and the aerodromes going ok with Hanger owners and help from friends getting into it making a dent in the clean up Kevin. Manage a quick fly in between showers today over Lismore and Crikey what a bloody mess and a very daunting.

Today back on hard ground and hoping the strip will be open tomorrow to go for a spin to check the flood waters and to blow dry the Blue Budgies feathers.
