Yeah Skippy, had considered the possibility, but don't expect it to be a problem in my case. Have had difficulties in the past with cold running - have to blank off both radiator and oil cooler according to season. iBob, thanks for the tip - can see how that would happen.

Thankyou everyone for your thoughts on this matter. Did like blues solid pipes, but have some doubt re cowling clearance on the port side, and don't really want to wait for a delivery from the UK, so have decided to go with the SS corrugated tubing from ICP. Acknowledge the fact that they create a couple of extra joins on each side, but don't see that as a huge issue. Have only been able to source positive comments on these, and in the absence of any negative comments think that this is a reasonable decision. Thanks again, Bob.

Hi BrendAn. Talking about the 25mm radiator hoses. Bob.

Thanks Skippy, I cant find the list, is it in this forum or elsewhere? Your help would be appreciated, but keep it simple as I am not very IT literate. Bob.

Am presently carrying our the 5-yearly hose replacement procedure. Having trouble locating suitable hose for the two radiator hoses. seems they are not a Rotax part. Bought some Continental brand hose last time and it was quite successful, but I have not yet been able to source it this time. lots of automotive hose in silicone, but it is too soft and tends to flatten/kink on the curves. Apparently Savannah now come with a flexible stainless steel tube. I have some concerns about this in regard to potential chafing. Anyone had any experience, good or bad with this. What is everyone else doing re radiator hoses at their 5-yearly. All comments gratefully received. Bob.

Busy doesn't even begin to describe your life. All the best Mark.

Looking forward to seeing some more updates on Mable.

Thx Guy. Could you post the link to this video pls? Bob.

Realise this post is 14 months old but ,like Kevin, would like more info on this unit, now known as the SuperECO autopilot. The company still answers emails so would seem to be still in business. Would love to get some user reviews but cannot find any anywhere. Perhaps none have been sold? Anyone help? Bob

During WW2 petrol was rationed and many people would store any petrol that was excess to their needs ( rare ) for future use. I recall finding a 44 gallon drum in similar circumstances to pm. I knew from family folklore that it was such petrol. It was yellowish in colour, smelled terrible, could be confused with kero smell but was different. Modern petrol engines would not run on it. It would have been 50 years old. In those days power kerosine as it was known was coloured green, "lighting"kero ( used in kerosine fridges etc.) was blue. I was always told that it was illegal to run road vehicles on kerosine, as it was reserved for agriculture, and other industrial uses to aid the war effort. However, many road vehicles were covertly converted to use kero for reasons of cost and availability. So, could have been either petrol or power kero IMHO.

Hi Jon, The jury struts came as part of the original kit for my VG XL. I later purchased the 600kg upgrade kit separately. Have no definitive info re the VG, but on thinking back I cannot recall seeing any Sav without the jury struts. Agree with Mark in #2, get it checked thoroughly. Bob

Would be very supportive of a subscription based system. However $10 up front and $1 per month sounds like a pittance to me. Ian, you should not think of it as a contribution or donation, rather as a fee for service. And please, forget the FB option. Bob

Dan3111, can you forward me some contact details please? Bob

Sorry Guys, I know that there is a thread pertaining to this somewhere but damned if I can find it. Anyone know of an Australian dealership for these units? Bob
