jcamp Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 Prefer the one from 85? SS with 180hp (IIRC the Turks bought a few). Along with asst stuff under the wings, circuit problems were dealt with by a 20mm in each wing root. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ozzie Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 I saw the mockup at Airventure last year. i posted a couple of photos of it in my Oshkosh report and had the chance to sit down for half an hour and chatted with them. Looks like a great 'next model' of the Vampire even tho it only ressembles the old one. i think that unfortunatly it will be pricey just like most of the LSA's these days. If you are going to Airventure call into their stand, they welcome Aussies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigPete Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 Pity it doesn't look as good in the flesh as the "artists impression" on the home page. regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dunlopdangler Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 A mate of mine had a early 1980's model single seat two stroke and it ended up being sold to a guy in Victoria. With all the time it has taken to develop it to the latest model, (two seats) hardly anything to write home about and there are much better aircraft being built out there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest JimCovington Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 Pity it doesn't look as good in the flesh as the "artists impression" on the home page.regards The artist's impression on the home page is a picture of the 2nd prototype, being unveiled at OSH this week. The fatter one was the first prototype, destroyed in a post-crash fire after the rotamax engine quit turning the prop. The 2nd prototype is Jab 3300 powered.

facthunter Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 jab pusher. How do they cool the engine? Nev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcamp Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 How do they cool the engine? Nev Probably the same as most aircooled pushers, radiant heat from glowing cylinders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
facthunter Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 ??? It was a serious question. I don't know where it has been done. Nev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest JimCovington Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 How do they cool the engine? Nev It's worth noting that the plane had not flown as 7/22/09 (but may have flown just before OSH.) They switched from NACA scoops with the RotaMax to armpit scoops under the wing for the Jab 3300. There is no guarantee that they've correctly engineered it. I also don't know of any successful cowled pusher Jabiru installation. More details in "News" forum at The Sadler Vampire Site Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
