All excellent and informative....but not always easy to remember.

However you can remember this :

HIGH TO LOW - CAREFUL GO!

Simply put If you set 1013 in your altimeter subscale and your local QNH is 1003

Your Altimeter will OVERREAD by =/-300ft

So if you join the circuit at 1000ft indicated on the altimeter your actual altitude will be 700ft.

If you have a HIGH Setting on the Altimeter and the actual pressure is lower, you will be LOW so carefull GO

I had two Savannahs, a nosewheel and a Taildragger. I recently sold the Nosewheel version.

For info the empty weight of the nosewheel version was 307.2 kgs and the taildragger is 312.1 kgs.

However I can fix that by going on diet  (can easily afford to shed 20Kgs)

I personally prefer the TD however both models are great little aeroplanes,

Fly safely!

Tony
