    Hi could l have your opinion on fuel tanks placement ,l have been looking at a Zenith ch 701 the fuel tank is behind the panel are there any safety issues with this system l am not keen on having 36Lts of fuel in that area are there many other aircraft with this design. cheers Geoff..

    Golf course is a waste of a perfectly good airstrip

    Excellent flying can see anthing wrong with that, best place to do some low level flying plenty of space to put down in case of engine failure beach was clear if most pilots learnt some low level flying they would be able to handle their aircraft bit better in case of engine failures.

    No slid slip best rate off climb is 39knts at straight and level 6800 it will do 75knts . Because of my short runway we take off a 50knts to clear the obstacles.

    Hi full throttle is 6800 so climb out at full throttle climbs at 50 knts at 5200 cruises at 55knts also depends on conditions. l run a 60 inch three blade ivo prop with a c type gear box with 2.62 ratio on a rotax 503 on a Maxair Drifter. cheers Geoff..

    l always climb out at 6800 most off the guys l fly with do the same ,and cruise at 5200.

    l wouldn't use rocket launched BRS there is a chance of a misfire when it is really needed ,where as the spring loaded ones l have had converted should be fail safe you are only relying on the spring soon as the top comes off it is ready to deploy.

    Hi the only difference is the deployment hight
  23. skyfox1
    Hi does the rocket need changing, if not l have a chute re packer in Melbourne he has done my chute over the last few times ,one of my BRS chutes he converted to spring loaded got rid off the rocket as it was out of date.. He only charges few hundred dollars he is qualified repacker. cheers Geoff

    You Might be better off running a 4 blade with that ratio box

    If you are after metals also try H-aircraft spares they are great to deal with.http://www.aviationtrader.com.au/SubsampledImages/AdInstance/04FFCFEE-1.pdf
