Howdy Rich - all the best with your Savannah flying! Love to see some aerial photos from Zimbabwe if you get the chance...

Hi Gnarly Gnu....please have a look at a new thread I've opened under the Savannah forum...called African Savannah....posted some pics....awesome day !

 

 

Welcome, are you a builder or an owner?

Owner

 

 

Very fortunate to be part of a 4 man syndicate that acquired a Savannah S some 5 months ago....in that time we have all gone solo on this beauty and the hours are clocking up !

 

I've started this thread to hopefully share some of the amazing flights I have in her.

 

I took her this morning on a 2 hr flight to Bumi Hills Safari Lodge (http://www.bumihills.com/ )...leaving 15min before sunrise and getting there just in-time for breakfast. We were back home by noon.

 

Bumi is located on Lake Kariba in the Zambezi Valley...an area teaming with wildlife. There are no fences, this is untouched wilderness and uniquely these animals are truly wild...unlike so many "safari ranches" where the animals have been introduced.

 

From the air we spotted zebra, herds of impala, huge pods of hippo and loads of elephants. The runway is "cleared" of animals by the lodge land-rover....its truly paradise.

 

There can't be many places in the world where you "chock" your plane with elephant dung !

 

Herewith some pictures:-

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

As the name implies...the Savannah belongs in Africa.....watch this space

 

 

Hi Guy,

 

I am sure you have looked at this, and perhaps the new kits have this as standard now ...but its worth ensuring the fuel pipes are the barrier-hose type to eliminate the fuel smell. Have a look at [/url]
