    Have you seen the one in classifieds?

    Maybe engines cheapish. Currently 2/3 Rotax price and used to be about 1/2.

    Hearing 51% ownership (unconfirmed).

    A newer model main gear one piece leg has been fitted to ‘Spirit of Kittyhawk’ and Ben flew her today and likes the feel of it. A full upgrade to 600 kg will be completed in the future, just awaiting some parts from the factory and the sign off for RAA w&b ratings.

    Also, gliders can be slower in their circuit all the way at 40mor 45 knots so the drop is a little more noticeable and not able to add speed with an engine only by lowering the nose; which may not be good at times.

    Hi IBob I learnt about that in gliding. When turning in the circuit the air speed on the ASI would drop a little. Had to keep the screen view attitude; and don't stick the nose down to bring the ASI up as you would be over the desired speed when out of the turn. The air flow at an angle across the pitot tube caused the situation.

    Take some TimTams as well for any necessary chocolate fix’s.

    Nice, recon you will have parts in 6 or 7 days.

    About 6 years ago I had a faulty pressure gauge and emailed the company about it. Roberto the owner was most helpful and advised trouble shooting info. Should still be around so I’d send an email asking about the issue. Put as much info about the issue so he is in best position to make any comments. It was excellent after sales service.

    Hi Guy that is different to to one I have in my 2012 model Nynja kit. Can you sleve yours to the id if the later kits. Sounds like 12.6mm as that would allow using the available piston kit. Best also to check actual bore size. I’m away for next two weeks or more so unable to measure mine. Maybe ask Greg R. Cheers

    If longeron is rusted that would not assist airframe staying intact.

    Can look up Fire wall boot making on Kitplanes; they show a way to make up a silicone impregnated fibreglass mat boot and alloy bracket for fire walls. May suit your build.

    Recall a method shown in Kitplanes within last two years.

    Mostly lazy I recon. Plus, any fuel leak, e.g. carb bowl overflow, would do wonders for the windscreen. For me; better viewing muted.
  20. Blueadventures
    Yes, will. I’m running 8mm barb tails.

    I use these 3/8" BSP female ends. Placed between tank and fuel filter. No issues.

    Nice fly of 1.1 hours out to the coast and over some over water today.

    A friend was in the one that collapsed one main leg while landing at Old Station a few years back, I was there and saw it and Deslie said it was interesting. Lucky no serious damage occurred to the airframe.

    I have not flown a Vixen, and not an instructor. A mate has recently purchased a Vixen and he about to convert to RAAus and experienced GA pilot. A good friend has explained to him that best to become very proficient with side slipping and the slower speeds in circuit as these are a must otherwise it will float and float and not land. They are prone to brake noise as well I am finding out as I have been doing the annual on the aircraft and during taxi the other day I was concerned by the noise from the moving caliper. There is a very good facebook group of Australian owner / pilots. The idle on the ground is 1950rpm and will be further adjusted slower as the maintenance work progresses. Cheers and enjoy.
