I ran only one vent for each of the tanks and in the caps and it worked fine except with the original 3mm tube vent in the caps a insect blocked one and I could not access a full tank of fuel. I modified that system the very next day. Its all on my blog. I made forward facing alu 6mm tubes mounted into the tank caps.. I could drain each tank individually. The 2 inlets at the top of the reseverve tank I made 1 the input from all tanks the other ran a vent line to the top of the inner right side of the wing tank the same tank the engine overflow goes to so always make sure the reserve tank can never get a vapor lock and will always drain Mark

I had indicators for all 4 tanks on my first Sav. I ran alu tubes from each tank to the wing roots to the fuel line indicators so I knew exactly how much fuel was in each tank Pictures of all that are in my XL blog on here. it starts on page 5. https://www.recreationalflying.com/forums/topic/9712-another-new-savannah-xl-on-its-way/page/5/

The sav wheels are tubed. Split rims. and almost all pinch the tube on a wheel

That is terrible news. I know Paul Bennet very well. There are a few of his pilots in his team. Jett his son has been up and coming in the aerobatics world. Paul usually flys the Wolf Pitts and Jett I believe is flying the red one. Not sure who was flying the orange one. It has 400hp the same as the Wolf I now know who the pilot was I hope he survives all ok

I am mounting mine on the top rear of the fin of the RANS S-21. I will draw up a design then 3D print it and attach it to the top plastic section of the fin cap. Then the unit will fit nicely into the fin. It will be all pretty easy I think. I have the vertical stab and rudder built and will get to the design shortly.

Looks like TDS is alive and well in this country too

Injured pilot trapped in light plane crash in outer Sydney 7NEWS.COM.AU The injured man is trapped in the wreckage.

I always had uneven feeding when I did that system but it wasnt huge. Never had a airlock ever. Except when a bug got into one of the fuel tank breather tubes those silly 3mm tubed out of the fuel caps. So I got rid of them and make the hook style 6mm alu tubes and fitted them to the tank fuel caps..problem be gone then

I just use a jewelers screwdriver or similar. Anything that has a small point is good.

Well thats not true for builders Nev. I am building a Group G and I have done the SAAA maintainer course. I believe the same rules for Experimental will apply to Group G..if you bring in a Cessna or similar the rules for maintenance will be the same because you are not the builder

RAAUS currently do not recognise Class 5...thats what they told me when I submitted mine as my medical...I had to submit the usual medical that I do which is the Austroads medical

Eprop balance the whole assembly inc the spacer no matter what length at the factory before delivery and each part is marked so it goes together exactly how it should be. All customers report that they have never flown behind a prop that is so smooth and finely balanced. I suspect that they use a 2 plane balancer at the factory because the balance of every prop is outstanding. There are balancing weights inside the spacer and also the spinner

The way I read the SB it pretty much says do it or if there is a issue we can say you didnt follow our recommendations. Now for Certified aircraft its a must otherwise Rotax can always give you the bird if you try to make a clain or ATSB said you didnt follow the "recommended" proceedures. We have 95 at our airfield but the club has decided to change our fuel to 98 based on this bulletin

The latest Rotax SB says 98 is now the minimun to be used for all 912 915 and 916 engines

Class 5 medical is a no brariner...I have one and I have to get a medical every year for my heavy vehicle drivers licence as I have "conditions" on it. Group G maint rules I believe will just be a carbon copy of the experimental rules for the likes of SAAA. so really that wont be a issue..just more bloody paperwork
