Mark11 Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 Kit planes has an article all about building planes in the house... I've found your journey very interesting - I might even be able to build a plane too I reckon... I got a shed, so should be easy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skee Posted February 20, 2014 Author Share Posted February 20, 2014 The work right now is tedious, some there, little bit there..... So i scraped the standard fuel valve, looked so stupid and with a mat it was no good, very hard to twist, And i also got the wheelbase mounted, no bolts is fully torqued since i need to disassemble allot for painting later on. Plates for fairings if you wonder. Rudder rods. And cables for BMS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyle Communications Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 what are the plates on the nose wheel fork at the side and the large plate behind the main undercarriage brakes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyle Communications Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 I hope you put grease on those main stainless undercarriage bolts that hold the clamps on otherwise it will bind when you try to get them off always grease all stainless threads 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skee Posted February 26, 2014 Author Share Posted February 26, 2014 BMS cable got sleeved =) Map folder is finally fitted. Ray allen handles are there but wires are not yet. Fuel line is there to, really like the new fuel valve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skee Posted March 3, 2014 Author Share Posted March 3, 2014 I dont know how you australians do it but here when we do modifications, like adding a extended rudder we must send an application to EAA to get it approved. So now i have allot of documentation on the new rudder, even quite a few drawings on all new changes for the taildragger. While at it i also asked ICP where my extra bag of stainless steel rivets was supposed to go, so i got this PDF (German modification documents) file and i also sent it to kyle, they are ment to sit in the cabin pipe frame against the lugage comp, somehow Kyle feels the urge to continue to read the document and finds out why i got 2x 2.6m parachute bridles from ICP, this is important stuff and icp dont mention it, i have to stumble over it? So the ropes goes from the rear wing mount and all the way down to the under carriage for the wheel spring and up again making a loop. If anyone wants the German mod PDF file, get in touch with me or Kyle. Farings fitment? how do they fit? i dont know, plate stick underneath faring, if it supposed to be like that then i have to grind on the plastic to get it right on. WHY!! So i fixed the Ray allen handles, it was a long time since i did some soldering. Ohh and icp succesfully sent a new panel, and they had bent the bottom the wrong way, putting it the otherway around so the screw holes match with cabin makes it angle outwards, already got a new one coming again.

Kyle Communications Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 If anyone wants the ICP document just email me [email protected] its too big to post here It explains the modification to using a ballistic chute I think its a much better solution I will get the 2 extra straps required but will make up my own slide plate so the chute does not get ripped on the way out of the hole in the top of the rear fuselage skin. They also state to use SS rivets in the rear top cabin attachment frame..the rest is pretty much a no brainer and some stuff if you have a S model with the joystick operating rod..its a dual one not like mine which is only a single side tube.

Skee Posted March 13, 2014 Author Share Posted March 13, 2014 So why not, im on sick leave and then i can build some aeroplane I fixed the extended rudder part. I had to open side of the fin and remove the old strobe wire and then move it to the rudder by opening 1/3 of it and using grommets to pull it up to the new position. New plastic tip mold and voila DAMN it looks good!! Now what to do? any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skee Posted March 15, 2014 Author Share Posted March 15, 2014 Kyle has been banging my head into the wall saying my plane will weigh to mutch and then he showed me the D-motor ~94HP engine http://www.d-motor.eu/nl/lf26-36.htm im not to familiar with horsepower but how would an engine like this perform on my Sav S? i have a chute and long dist tanks, and the d-motor could actually get me under my weight limit, pretty shure, it says ~58kg al included while the icp m09 is about 81KG, thats a whoping 20kg! i dont think i can use the m09 without cheating. i also got the the users manual from the manufacturer if anyone want to read, love the part in the end, where am i gonna fly this then? 9. WARNING ! This is a non-certified aircraft engine, the possibility of engine failure exists at all times. Do not operate this engine over densely populated areas. Do not operate this engine over terrain where a safe, power off landing cannot be performed. i got a REAL good offer on the engine, this 6hp diff from an 100hp rotax, how would it work?

rankamateur Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 i got a REAL good offer on the engine, this 6hp diff from an 100hp rotax, how would it work? There are still many people who say they only need 80Hp anyway, if the other engine is lighter and you can get your weight and balance right, it should be just as good as 100Hp too.

If all conditins are met dmotor ~58-60kg does 93.6 hp 5 min / 88.8 hp continuous rotax ~65-68kg does 100hp 5 min / 95hp continuous icp m09 70kg without fluids? (81kg with fluids), not even flying, 115hp max / 100 cont, seems to be a LSA engine more than a MicroL engine. i'm puzzled, i cant continue to build without an engine mount , how big is the chance that i will be standing with a too light airplane? less than 297,5kg? just my lithium battery will save me 5kg id guess, im only using two iefis so instruments are around 5kg total. should i aim for a lower weight dmotor and if possible later use a constant speed prop to compensate for lost takeoff performance? sorry for all these questions....

Kyle Communications Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 Steve what do you expect yours to weigh....you have 4 tanks and also the bigger wheels going on the weights that Reg has built and of course these are with a 912 in them. Dennis also a chute that is 14 odd kg's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rankamateur Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 I have an airmaster C/S prop and standard engine, and I am planning to put a trutrak auto pilot in it,so I will be happy if it comes in under 320kg. I am only 87Kg now and my wife is slim so we are looking forward to carrying full fuel! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyle Communications Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 with those addons Steve you will be lucky if you do...might get there without paint. There are 4 of Sav S here and around Ycab all standard except a couple have the larger wheels and the lightest is 305kg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
