crazy diamond Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 Hi Spriteah I am looking at what to buy, looking at X-Air Std for an entry level buy, through to Jab LSA/X-Air Hanuman mid level and Morgan Sierra at the high end, I like the look of the Hanuman, did you build it yourself or you buy second hand? If you did build it what was the build like? How does it fly and what are some rough costs in terms of build and operating? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spriteah Posted October 27, 2011 Author Share Posted October 27, 2011 I didn't build it but believe it takes about 150 hours. Flys great, used about 16 LPh. Cruise of 82 knots with my set up. I'm happy to take u for a fly if you want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest 4aplat Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 Hi if you want to buy an hanuman don't take it with the jab but with a 912 rotax engine MicheL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the reliability is a vedry good reason !! But with the rotax, take off are shorters ans average speed is better (due to the reducter on the rotax) MicheL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a Hanuman with a Jab engine. I cruise at 80 knots 2800-2850 rpm 16 lt hour. Mine is VH registered I have to have an instrument 8 ever 2 years so I know the ASI is calibrated correctly. Great plane to fly excellent price & running costs if your on a tight budget. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ozbear Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 I have never folded the wings on mine but it looks fairly easy if you look at the Irish and British websites xairireland.com they have pics of them folded and make a nylon adaptor that helps line up the spars to make reassembly easier.i think youwould need something to support the wing tips in the folded position .
