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. -
Hi Greg, yep ...a 'local plane' for me......sent you a message cheers

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 -

I have a question on the Savannah VG 'real' cruise speed. I see all kind of numbers for this particular model. So, with the 100hp ULS and a Kiev prop ( ajusted for 5500-5600 full throttle rpm ) ...what would I expect for cruise speed at 5000 rpm ? at an usual altitude 3-4000' thanks -
That would be the solution..assuming it's on the right side . Your answer suggest that. thanks (yes ' I'll be alone )

Already have a heated vest for my motorcycle. But that's the feet that need the heat. Looks like you own a VG yourself,,so...is there a cabin heat oulet in yours..Thanks the plane.. Rotax ULS ..72 hrs

Hi all. I'm looking at this thread as I will have to fly (ferry) a Savannah VG across Canada this spring and I,m a bit concerned about the cabin heat. I was told that the heat outlet is on the passenger side...is that right ? the plane had no insulation at all and flying the Rockies at 10,000' could be cold .. thanks for the info

Hi Bruce, well as a Rotax dealer , I never personnaly considered them. In fact, it's been a while since we ( the canadian ultralight flying community ) didn't hear from them. So, not much I can tell you,sorry. Thanks for the comments

Hi John I sure will . after a flight or two, it will understand..just need the right accent

There was one with a Jab 2200 smooth but not performing same as the 582. Now, there is one with a 582 ( I'm still training the owner) , one with the 80hp 912 and the 2 others with ULS 100HP . picture with the one with the 80hp

Hi Marty It's even colder in Québec City where I am close to. ... a shock...we'll see .. at least I will have the sunlight. That's the point. I see you're building a 701 one of my favorite I was Zenair dealer ..long ago. I have 4 on my field.

G'day ...if you mean what I own, it's a Flight Design CTSW , but I fly many thing. The last 5 hours were on a Pegazair 100, which I had never flown before . On grass on Chritmas day, on snow 2 days after. I love to try new planes,, and Australia will be a good place for that
