Yep, there was one of those in Hawkes Bay (Bridge Pa?) a while back.

 

Note the innovative pitot arrangement. For measuring every one of those precious knots?:

Hi BobI loved building mine I am sure you will too. I have a build thread in the savannah forum that may assist you in some areas. Keep us updated with your progress and pictures. Start a build thread on the savannah forum. There are plenty of Sav builders on this forum so do not be afraid to ask anything

Thank you, Mark. My kit should ship some time this week, so probably about a month to arrival here. I'm looking to start a thread a bit closer to that date (though the questions are occurring already). In the meantime I am reading here and there, including your build thread, to get myself up to some sort of speed.

I should say that, while I have a very broad lifetime's experience of DIY, and a reasonable knowledge of mechanical things, I don't know anything about building aeroplanes. Yet. But this interweb thingy is the most wonderful resource, and I am finding aviation people to be the most helpful and generous group. So it promises to be a pretty good voyage of discovery. But first, the shed...

 

 

Hi and thank you. I see all manner of good and interesting info here. And I'm sure it will be a huge help to share the building of the Savannah.

 

But first I must erect the shed; for while my wife, who is assurely The Sun and The Moon of Mine Eyes, is entirely supportive, when I speak of aircraft constructed in Swedish dining rooms and other clearly useful surplus spaces, she goes Awful Quiet, then proceeds to Bang Things Around.

 

 

Hi, I'm Bob, finally made it into the air unaided and now awaiting the arrival of my very own Savannah-in-a-box experience.
