I'll try another 1 degree up. At present can keep nose up with full back stick; however sometimes don't get stick to full back.

Hi PM send a message with your email and I'll send a copy of my checklists that you can edit for your needs / aircraft. I find it helps me when flying solo I usually talk the checks and when have a passenger just read quietly (else they might think I'm a nutter.)

Had to get up the other end of 2,000 meters otherwise a long taxi. Cheers Sorry I missed yourself and RF as continually distracted catching up with friends hadn't seen since 2017.

This will give a idea, cross wind from left and felt a little as down below tree line. Nynja landing ASI by Mike.mp4

Yes, one of the members on the 3D printing facebook site is sending the data for a stronger 3 piece one he makes. I'll arrange to get two of those printed. Are you on that site as you will see the program when he sends it. Cheers

Trimmed for 46kts. I'll did out a video that shows the ASI during landing later today or tonight. All comments no worries. The long grass on side of strip has a negative effect at the flare round out height as you are in the wind effect shadow; similar to tress and hangars that disturb the wind. Cheers

I've never seen this; however on landing and with speed decayed under flying speed the nose wheel won't stay up with full up elevator; most likely due to the wing tanks being on the cg. Other builds with the fuel behind the seats have more weight aft so easily maintains the nose wheel off.

OK, understand.

Nynjas are a little longer and do require trim adjustments for speed changes; say 55 to 95 kts as an example.

Hi has anyone got a design or printing a drop in holder for Zulu3 controllers. A mate made the one in the images, and out of 4 units three broke at the end retainer piece, reading forums this design suffers the breaks if the controller in pushed into it; you need to bend the ends out length ways so as not to break them. At present I have mine on the harness up high to allow unobstructed access to the flap handle. (this design would be better for my mounting if the retainers were turned 90 degrees and facing upwards') I see there is a design that allows the controller to drop in and be held about 60% on its length within the holder; looks a good one for me as I'll either keep it on the harness or better still mount onto the rear of the centre console. Any images of how you retain is appreciated.

I did adjust the elevator up to its max specification degrees of +2. The nose wheel bounces up even on smoothish surfaces so light down pressure. Won't change anything as now have 315 hours and will be fitting the new 600kg certified main gear legs later in year (still awaiting availability) and will see where they sit in relation to the current setup. There is a 600kg kit being assembled north of Newcastle and another awaiting shipment to Victoria and a total of 40 600kg variants are either built or under construction so the real world data will start to come in as the hours accumulate. I have the wing upgrade kit so plan at present is to get the the U/c fitted and fly at present MTOW and then fit the 600kg upgrade to the wings and submit paperwork with new MTOW and w&b, using all factory parts.

Its hard to see in the video but there are two humps / gullies that run on an angle across the strip. The two greener areas are the gullies where the water stays longest. Bit rough around them. I mentioned to the owner if he could place white 20 litre drum markers on the humps but he is ok with things as they are. Attached is my landing on black stuff the next day two up. The Nynja doesn't keep its nose wheel up off the deck easily. Must be the position of the mains; I keep full back stick so only light on the ground while speed decays. The nose wheel jumps up and down a lot due to its light balance. Cheers. Two up landing.mp4

Todays flight along the coast to the north of Mackay; 1.6 hours total in the glorious winter weather, 4 days ago and earlier it was crap weather. Landed at a friends airstrip and meet up with 3 local trike flyers.

Todays nice winter time flight along the coast.

This may help, can not verify correct, The factory approves lifting the engine using flexible straps looped around the intake manifolds. Another way is to loop a flexible strap under the crankshaft/prop hub in the front and behind/under the accessory case in the back (be careful not to tweak any wires back there). Two or three friends work well too! The ROTAX is very easy (a one-man job) to mount on the RV-12.

Have you considered polishing the wing the glider guys do it for added performance; its not just a matter of polishing the surface as you can effect the profile shape. They correct the profile shape if possible. One outfit is https://maddogcomposites.com.au/services/glider-repairs/ may be of interest to you. I missed an opportunity years ago to learn about the correct way to polish fibreglass glider wings. There is a lot to be learnt from the glider performance ways.

Hi RF do you have performance data from others that have a Rotax in a 230 Jab and then how that compares with the 3300's. As you may get slightly better speed with the E-prop, keeping the wings and fuse well polished and also any drag cleanup you can do. Such may save the turbo fit.

Silicone hose connection. The alloy pipe just reduces the length of hose that is a cost saving over time and more rigid over the length. The pipes are bent specific for this location of the radiator although mine is mounted to engine and the usual Nynja fit is to the cowl also like what the Lightwings do; makes more work to remove the lower cowl for access. Cheers.

Yes, Mark they are a ripper item. Only discovered their availability in 2017 and bought them straight away. Would be a good addition to the Savannah parts inventory. Posted the items for build info to enhance the sites information.

Some assorted images of bits of my build. Grey coloured coolant pipes from Flylight, 2 one each side in alloy Nose wheel dolly Parcel box behind seats document holder beside console both sides Alloy tube support under door sill access to rudder bungee, alloy inspection ports from an old Blanik glider wing I had, makes access easy and quick to open and close.

Up here will get hot and bothered digging a hole plus hands full of dirt. For less than 0.5 kg I'll keep my jack on board. Can you it to hit / kill thing that threaten you in the outback, and some other uses. Probably beat Thor in a hammer fight with it:)
