    yes sure..just went to double check. I will look at the sidetone ajustment when the owner come later this week. then,, I should be able to train him on his new Savannah 🙂 no throttle and brakes on the right side,,so intercom is a must

    Hi Glen, yep, radio works fine (so far,, only ground test done) passenger headset has no PTT connected, so can't test it. But the radio seems to works normally ...as a radio. I plugged 2 headsets in a portable intercom which is plug in the pilot side jacks..: all good speaker is NOT connected thanks

    Hi,,I need help with a used Microair 760 that a friend just installed. . It has NO intercom. Found few versions of the manual on the net and they all mention an intercom. I'm 'guessing'' it is quite old as there is no ''revision'' marked on the sticker , just the serial # : 8953 I found a '' Revision K 01/2000 '' manual that has a section about the intercom. [ ?? ] the ''revision Q '' manuals on the net talks about a MENU.... no luck there thanks for the help Jacques

    just happen to have a ''new comer'' on my field.. one of the first ''Le Pelican'' ,,, ( 1984 ) few years later, they started with the composite fuselage and aluminum/foam wing ( pelican club) and in 1991, with the PL ( aluminum wings ) and 10 years later with the Sport 600 ( different wing airfoil )
  10. flymate
    Hi, there are 2 'styles' of landing gear for the PL. The ''ultralight gear' (544 kg) ((PPL on picture below) and the 'heavier ' Ballard Sport Aircrfat is 'local' for me .. Give me your airframe serial # and I will contact Serge (Ballard) to see what he can do

    The blade on the right is a KIEV.. Last year, on a CH601 HDS (short/taper wings) with an ULS engine. We went from a Warp Drive 68'', to a Kiev #263 ( 1710mm 67.3'' ) to an E-props Durandal 100 We saw better performance from WD to Kiev and from Kiev to E-props , similar numbers..but the E-props runs smoother , and have a less inertia than the Kiev .
  12. flymate
    Hi all, I first used a Eprops 3 years ago..on a Savannah . 5600 on takeoff 5500 on climb 5600 full power level flight VERY smooth and low inertia at engine stop . After, I ordered mine for my CT ,but first used it on a CH601 . More efficient than the Warp Drive previously installed, a bit better than the Kiev , . Ii recommended on our 'CT forum' and you can read all the comments here http://ctflier.com/topic/4988-new-propeller-for-ct/?tab=comments#comment-73293 read my 'report' about the test results on the amphib Kitfox much more efficient than the Whirlwind. alos, sold one to a customer for his SkyCruiser....replacing his Sensennich... so, far,, everybody is happy, and nobody used the ''6 months satisfied or return '' my 2 cents
  13. flymate
    Thanks I did checked in the web site..which I read so many times. specially lately as we installed the VGs on a HDS 601 HUGE difference THANKS JOHN will try to contact him through this forum.. you're in Wairarapa..!! I will be there in December , scooting down to Rangiora for couple months. cheers

    hello have a question regarding Savannah slats length. I bouth a Savannah with slats removed ( VGs installed) and want to ferry the plane . Slats will go by road.. so,, ....: are the Savannah slats in 2 pieces ( like the 701 ) or just one pièce ( that won't fit a car ) if they do separate...is it just few rivets to remove at the junction ow more work.. thanks Jacques the plane

    Cabin Heater

    flymate replied to Ron Hoey's topic in Savannah

    Hi Didn't really go to Thunder Bay..Just refuelled at the airport and then around Lake Superior (picture)for next stop ...in Marathon where we stopped for the night because we were frozen.. A heating system using the coolant would be much better on this plane.

    Cabin Heater

    flymate replied to Ron Hoey's topic in Savannah

    Cross country flight done...from Calgary,Alberta to Québec City.....~ 2300 milles in 29 hours.....Strong headwinds and freezing rain in the first part...a bit of tail wind and sunny skies in the last part....but COOOOOOLLLDDDD ( all the trip) and the heater.....well it is in the POH only.........as Kyle wrote...useless as...... we were two on board..had a SCAT down to the middle...but ....last time I was so cold in a plane was on open cockpit UL..... but we had a lot of fun and it will be a good trip to remember but please ICP......correct these few design flaws.....( heater, fuel gauge, throttle cables,,,) few pictures....before leaving.... /// at a truck stop for lunch...//// and the ''road'' down to my co-pilot's place
  17. flymate
    very clever installation, I like it. Only one sight gauge does not make sense to me .... even wonder if it's legal here for Advanced ultralight.....I guess I will have to deal with it for the trip.. one more stress
  18. flymate
    Mark, you seems to say there are more than one sight tube...Isn't it only one on the left side ???? as the POH says... sure I'ld like to have one each side
  19. flymate
    GREAT... just what I wanted ...although it says 38 lts max while the capacity is 36 ??? thanks Rick
  20. flymate
    I would make my own if the plane was close to me and mine. I have to ferry that plane here and the owner/seller just flew short local flights and never really needed the accuracy of the gauges. I tought / wish that someone had made some.
  21. flymate
    Hi all, is there any fuel gauge stick calibrated for the Savannah tanks that are available...or some measurements that I can duplicate. thanks
  22. flymate
    Yes Mark, I'm sure I will love the ride. But it's not exactly the kind of plane for my needs. My runway is long and don't really need a STOL plane. Moreover, I would need to sell my SW first...not easy.. But I'am looking forward to try the Sav.
  23. flymate
    Hi Greg, yep ...a 'local plane' for me......sent you a message cheers
  24. flymate
    Neils, by real, I meant GPS verified/corrected using what ever methoh : no wind , triangle, head/down wind. I rarely had planes that had airspeed indicators that had the correct speed. Sometimes, it's the instrument itself, sometimes the pitot, sometimes the static, or a mix of the 3. Anyway, with the answers I got here , I will plan for 80kts ..well 92 mph as the plane ASI is in mph . And this is more for a purpose of having the plane owner planing the trip that for me. He is new at flying and planning this trip ( 2000NM across Canada in April ) keep us busy and ''flying on paper'. And it's just 'planning'..it's gonna be what's it's gonna be the day I take off. Never flown a Savannah before, so it will be fun to see how it goes. Thanks all
  25. flymate
    Thanks Neil from these specs here http://savannahac.co.za/specs/ the S is 5mph faster that the VG . You wrote ''indicated''...is this the real speed .did you check with GPS ? Thanks
