Phil, We found that the original idea of molding slots into the XS wing was heavy and not cost effective. Reducing the empty weight of the XS is a problem and the LSA wing made --From carbon fiber wa
Ron, and everyone so kind to share your setups. Just keeping the work in the un-airconditioned shop during cure works well for me during the Florida summers. The barn gets 115 degrees in the summer.
Richard, There are many things which can cause this problem and you are on the right track. Rarely does a new Rotax need any tuning, but we tune them anyway here at Custom Flight, as the factory does
Fellow Rotax owners: Having worked with Jason Parker on the SDS setup, I am not surprised by the requirements, electrical, fuel and air will change. Eric's wedding takes precedence over the review of
All, Still watching the UL. The Jab was such a disappointment, advertised the same low price, ease of maintenance, price advantages, etc.. It has been disappointing watching the early engine buyers p
Craig, I noticed tonight that my email from my shop to you has not posted yet. It may have gone to your personal address. I have attached some further clarification on rigging and trimming in that po
Please join me and other Europa builders at Sun 'n Fun this year. I have set up at site N-20 which is on the end row off Hangar D. We are next to the group making the new Spitfire replica. It is our
Paul, I always put the standard pitot / static on my aircraft. It hooks to the normal A/S and Altimeter. The Dynon probe is added to the other wing normally and feeds the Dynon pitot/aoa. I make a 5
Hi Bud (or anyone else who has an answer), I was looking for info on the Dynon AoA and read your post about George Reed fitting this AoA. I was thinking of installing one (to display on a Skyview), b
To all: Due to some short notice changes in funding and site availability for the Sun 'n Fun Fly In, we scrambled a bit and made it all happen this year, as I assured folks we would be present. A gre
JR, No the stall warner is mounted so as to give a specific pressure near the max angle of attack. It is just a probe hole for a low pressure switch. Basically, go fast and the pressure is high. slow
Kevin, I answered this question not to long ago and for the life of me can't find the really long and boring answer I gave to someone else. So I made another one. The AOA pitot from Dynon has a hole
Rowland, Not to worry as the guys pointed out. I am embarrassed for the company that the tubes are that far off. They should be rather parallel. Please shim it out if necessary but I can have a new f
Steve, As Fred said, point it forward. I too drill holes in the aft end in case of a bug hit, dirt from muddy ground etc. I set mine glassed to the aft bulkhead on the trigear or on one of the outboa
Interesting discussion on fuel return and battery placement and to review long ago topics. The return line was plumbed to the bottom because it was easy and it works. All points are valid that have b
Sent earlier: Rob, Hope things are moving along. Max angle of climb is the L/D max airspeed. The glide speed is normally L/D max however, the XS manual is 61Kts. Check your operators hand book Chapte
William and all Rotax / Jabiru owners: At Custom Flight we are having the same problem with the new carb kits. Jim Glover had his plane in for major repairs and upgrades. The engine sat a while (six
Bruno, Nice to here from you. I will send you my test report. I have a manufacturer which supplies me with clear vinyl contoured VGs that are superb and are arced on the bottom for a good fit. They g
Andrew, Allied Electrical has 90 degree D sub connectors available which reduces the TruTrak electrical connector overall length. I use these on the Dynon and other long EFIS types and radios if ther
