There's also carb heat using warm water. Isn't water that takes no additional power away from the engine better than electric and airbox?

Please add me to the list - I'll buy one! Thank you!

GRT support says the EIS4000 can use existing oil/cht sensors. Any recommended EGT sensors and where to obtain them in Europe? Thank you!

Thanks, those will be changed. I've been in touch with ICP Italy regarding ordering a set of AN scres/bolts/nuts and have sent more than a few emails the last months... "tecnico" is helpful and always replies "I will forward to sales" but I never get any reply from sales 😕

Thanks Bob, can you please elaborate on "the arrangement". Eager to learn. Just a little add on: I recently read, contrary to my experience and what I was taught so far (low power = carb heat on) that acc. to physics the low pressure (and subsequently the cold temp in the carb) is highest at high power settings. Anyway, is the engine compartment of my Savannah sufficiently warm enough to avoid carb ice?

Cheap but nice "upgrade". Velcro doorpanel storage nets from Tasmanian Tiger (10€) added to my Savannah.

My Savannah Rotax installation does not carb heat. The air cooler inlet scoop and cooling screen is behind the cabin. Is carb ice not a factor? Or why omit carb heat?

80 hp performs quite well https://www.flysto.net/logs/10dxglyk/departures/0?view=video

Hi, I purchased a used GRT EIS 4000 for my Rotax 912 80hp. It includes connectors, oil pressure and oil temp transducers, however no probes. Which probes (from GRT, or also others?) can I fit to the engine? Thanks for your help! PS: Reason for the GRT EIS 4000 is I have an iLevil AW and it accepts the GRG EIS 4000 data via RS232.

Thank you, very interesting.

Does anyone know why some Savs have these additional strut links, and some don't?

Intake air scoop on the back/top of the plane. Not a structurally critical part, I think.

Thank you for pointing out my AD misunderstanding. ICP says the parts for my plane were manually cut ("hand built") vs. later models that were cut using CNC.

Thank you all for the helpful replies! Any suggestions for a paint remover? Is it ok to initially leave the wing strut attachm. plates in place and expose (strip paint off) only the seams? Or better remove the plates and only the strip the paint? I will have the nuts and bolts replaced to AN spec. Apart from ICP, is there a good source for these? I have emailed ICP regarding the strut to fuselage attachment plates and they replied "The wing strut attachment are not ICP." Not yet sure what to make of that reply. Browsing some fotos of other MXP740/ICP Savannah planes online I found show very similar looking wing attachment plates, however I could be wriong. There was an AD in 2005 based on a SB from ICP, I saw it somewhere in my plane's records as well. Manufacturer's announcement: SERVICE BULLETIN 02-2005 from I.C.P. Srl Structural failure Affected series: all Affected work numbers: all Occasion: Accident of an aircraft of the Savannah model in Norway due to breakage of the mounting plate wing main spar to the front strut Measures: Checking the condition of the attachment of the front strut to the wings according to the Service bulletin of the manufacturer. Dates and deadlines: The measure must be carried out before the next start.

I didn’t intend to post the pictures of the rubber grommets for brake/fuel lines and gas caps but since they’re there I might as well ask: Any source to buy replacements?

Curious for your advice on the below pictures. What could be the reason for this different, longer bolt? Should I secure these bolts with loctite? What is a suitable grease for the bolts that hold moving parts (ailerons, flaps, elevator, rudder)? Any concerns for the strut attachment plates? Repair ideas for this one? Rivet a doubler s sheet? Where do you buy these camlocks? BRS cover is made of thin plywood. Any recommendations for a more suitable material? Plastic? Thin sheet aluminum? Thanks for the help! Pat

Thanks for the explanation, appreciated! I still don't understand how the gopro ended up in the driver's skull? Anyway, excellent point raised about objects within the helmet, thank you! I'll do some searching for the helmet thread. Application is indeed I want to feel safer in normal operations (= in my flying gardenshed ultralight plane). Thank you!

Not sure I understand. The camera was mounted in the car. The driver wore a helmet. He hit the camera with the helmet, and it protruded into his brain? Must have been a really crappy helmet? Formula 1 helmets are bullet proof...

Interesting, do you have some pictures or a build log? Thanks

Any lesser known brands out there besides the usual (expensive) suspects?

Here is a machine translated article I found. According to the article, removing slats and adding VGs required structural modifications.

For lack of a better category, posting this here. Is there a helmet that is suitable for flying that allows wearing typical headsets underneath (i.e. the headset is not fixed integrated into the helmet)? Thank you!
