Hello. I have had an e prop on a Nynja. The factory had 3 options climbing, in between, and cruise option. I choose the middle way. The prop was quieter, and giving a a greater torque. I didn't get much in cruising speed. It needed a lot of right rudder at take off. Unfortunately a friend crashed my plane on a go around after only 50 hours. He had used that plane before a few times and should have reacted with enough right foot but he clipped a tree on the go around, destroyed the plane but survived. That was the end of the Nynja and the e prop. Of course he blamed the prop ;-)

 

 

 

A friend of mine who run a flight school in Zanzibar recommended the prop, he has been using them for years and swear by them, all on Rans aircrafts. The has just re done an engine at 2000 hrs, the engine was in excellent condition. He puts that on the lightness of the prop. If you wish. I can give you his email. Oh by the way, I got the savannah S after the pay off from the insurance but it came with a Duc Flash, so far so good, but difficult to get more than 5200 at take off on my 5600 ft alt home strip. If you ever put an e prop please tell us how it goes.

If you want good weather and an excellent school, come and see Secure Air at SHEPPARTON. March-May north of the Great Divide is a great time with stable weather patterns

Thanks Kaz, I will keep this in mind, for another year. Corona is keeping me grounded now :-( no trip to OZ this year...

Hello Guy, I am watching your track from Kenya and I haven't look at the airspace around Melbourne. That area looks really interesting but you are nicely avoiding it. So avoiding the Mornington peninsula and the Port Philips Heads because of Airspace or weather? Here in Kenya we dont have a light sport aviation licence nor do the civil aviation understand much what LSA are, so we are equipped like a certified aircraft. So no real restriction regarding airspace. Avantage :-) and inconvenients :-(

Thank you very much for all the answers. Looks like Tyaab and Caloundra are the easiest from where I will be. Looks like QLD has more activity or schools. Weather related I guess. Dont they say you get 4 seasons in one day in Victoria ;-) Best regards Michel

Hi While on the topic of rental place and flight school. I am from Kenya, where I own a Savannah S. I am coming to the Mornington Peninsula area in April, then to Brisbane/Maloolaba area. Will you know any place I could convert my US/Kenya PPL in a LSA licence. Thanks

Thank you John, never thought about opening the window inside. That is one way of avoiding the impact of the airstream.  I like a bigger window open, so I will have a go at hacking the factory door in two. I will post the result here. If any one has already done it. Dont hesitate to send advice. 

 

 

Much better to install opening windows for photography. I've installed opening windows on my Savannah, that are easy to do and work really well. I'll be writing up instructions with photos soon.

Hello, I am not sure if John has published instruction and photos, but I am a new Savannah owner and missing the opening windows of my old Nynja. Any one has photos and experience with opening window design for a Savannah S, that would be much appreciated.
