  1. Engine back on, windscreen changed, electronics all ok. Bad weather CHECK!
  2. I trust you will update it and pass it on to future builders?
  3. i have this list from 2013. savannah inventarielista.xlsx savannah inventarielista.xlsx savannah inventarielista.xlsx
  4. Im engine 69, bought it two years ago, but you should also consider i bought the single ECU mot people buy the double. He has also licensed manufacturing to china last year, so i have no numbers on how many there is.
  5. they couldn't replicate the problem on the Dyno(not as hot as in a cowl?), so no they couldn't which is a bit worrying. Of all engines he has sold it was only mine and one other guy here in Sweden who "had" issues with mid air stops.
  6. A few more Sensors and a new Redundant ECU, to replace the older stuff.
  7. So spring has been a real hassle, i did some changes and went flying again, and got a mid air stop again, so i tried to replicate the issue on ground, and yup after some full throttle something got hot in the motor electronics and engine shuts down, now we had problem sorting this out, and its as around the same time another guy got the same issue(he landed outside field), so D-motor sent us a new cam shaft sensor, we changed it and he went flying, and when climbing it stopped, so i refused to fly anymore until cause could be proved. It resulted in this! Engine is now on its way to belgium and i'm getting upgraded from Single ECU to a more well proven redundant ECU, taking the moment to also blast and powder coat my engine mount white. Summer is here and im still not flying :(
  8. i used this file for sorting out all the 26 chapters in to moving boxes. it may be outdated since i used it 2013. sAVANNAH INVENTARIELISTA.xls sAVANNAH INVENTARIELISTA.xls sAVANNAH INVENTARIELISTA.xls
  9. about €2000, full set custom color.
  10. i went to the wheel workshop and they helped me,, it needed some serious lube!,, in the end i changed my wheels to french quality Beringer wheels.
  11. Winter is here and no flying is happening! its incredibly how much work can take of your time when your trying to be off work. First of i must say how smooth the Sav flies! compared to my FK9 that i learned to fly in, the Sav flies itself just regulate the power! After the first flight in november i did another flight the weekend after, and i had a midair engine stop over the field, it was just to sail down, i was so disappointed when engine quit on me knowing that its gonna be a hassle to deal with people to get in the air again, not afraid of emergency landing. What ive done since then is. Move the alternator fuse inside cockpit, it actually blew on first flight, quick landing, that's why first flight was 15 minutes. Change to a bigger battery 4>18ah so i now have around 1 hour of power backup. Problem with restart of motor in air was solved, the starter didn't get enough power form the Vertical Power X fuse system so i had to use a relay for that. Then my inspector began nosing around in my electrical, and wondered why i couldnt use both fuel pumps at the same time, since i had a weak battery it was only possible to use one pump, now when i have a more powerful battery i have now recoupled the fuel hoses and electrical for the pumps and it works like a charm. The tanks breather that someone used on the forum figured out to be dangerous, air was not getting past enough when transferring fuel from outer to inner tanks, tanks made big noises so i opened tanks and got a huge woosh, this is possibly what got my engine to stop i think. Work with my inspector who insists to do a technical audit cause he feels its needed, not cause its says in any regulations that i need it, if i say no, i wont be flying in that club cause he is the club president. So on wednesday the Cheif tech advisor comes up so see the airplane, i'm the first with d'motor on this fuselage, first with Vertical Power X, first with full efis without panel radio and transponder in Sweden, hope they like what they see. I really want to fly this wonderful slow aircraft =)
  12. ICP throttle version of just bad, balancing problems, uneven throttle, go with a single throttle with dual cables out for rotax, I love the vernier function to.
  13. I have full Mgl efis system, it's cheaper but it's simpler in all ways, more basic, it's like buying a PC instead of Mac.
  14. Nice panel, do yourself a big favour already now, buy a McFarlane throttle handle if you're going with one sided throttle handle, will make everything so much better.
  15. I removed flaps at 500 feet , about 1:35 into the film. Was it to late?
  16. Woohoo snow came and went,, sunday maybee??
  17. So that's where you drop cargo from like a Hercules.
  18. Sun goes up and down really quickly here ;) this was my pre check ,, first engine start in 2 months before flight next time.
  19. Nice sunday taxiing around.
  20. its just raining...................................................................................
  21. Finaly got my permit for flight testing, now to find a good opportunity to fly this winter..
