    Correct approach and landing

    in Savannah

    Totally agree with all comments regarding full flaps being too much. 
     

    I have fitted one of Mark Kyle’s modified flap brackets (and throttle linkage mod) to my latest Savannah build which has 3 stages of flaps not 2 as per original fitment. I cannot believe the difference it makes having the modified flap bracelet, second stage of flaps is absolutely perfect for my 300mtr strip and still a very flyable aircraft compared to full flaps.

     

    Got to hand it to Mark for his in-depth knowledge of the Savannah and his quality modifications that he produces.

    Savannah S empty aircraft weight.

    My last Savannah build came in at 306kg with 8.00x6 tyres, long range tanks and rudder extension. EFIS, GRT engine monitor and IPads, no standard instruments. EProp fitted and that takes around 4kg off the nose.

     

    The adjustable seats weigh a lot and no good for tall people like me at 6’3.
