Winter is here and no flying is happening! its incredibly how much work can take of your time when your trying to be off work.
First of i must say how smooth the Sav flies! compared to my FK9 that i learned to fly in, the Sav flies itself just regulate the power!
After the first flight in november i did another flight the weekend after, and i had a midair engine stop over the field, it was just to sail down, i was so disappointed when engine quit on me knowing that its gonna be a hassle to deal with people to get in the air again, not afraid of emergency landing.
What ive done since then is.
Move the alternator fuse inside cockpit, it actually blew on first flight, quick landing, that's why first flight was 15 minutes.
Change to a bigger battery 4>18ah so i now have around 1 hour of power backup.
Problem with restart of motor in air was solved, the starter didn't get enough power form the Vertical Power X fuse system so i had to use a relay for that.
Then my inspector began nosing around in my electrical, and wondered why i couldnt use both fuel pumps at the same time, since i had a weak battery it was only possible to use one pump, now when i have a more powerful battery i have now recoupled the fuel hoses and electrical for the pumps and it works like a charm.
The tanks breather that someone used on the forum figured out to be dangerous, air was not getting past enough when transferring fuel from outer to inner tanks, tanks made big noises so i opened tanks and got a huge woosh, this is possibly what got my engine to stop i think.
Work with my inspector who insists to do a technical audit cause he feels its needed, not cause its says in any regulations that i need it, if i say no, i wont be flying in that club cause he is the club president.
So on wednesday the Cheif tech advisor comes up so see the airplane, i'm the first with d'motor on this fuselage, first with Vertical Power X, first with full efis without panel radio and transponder in Sweden, hope they like what they see.
I really want to fly this wonderful slow aircraft =)
