    Bonjour!I didn't build my Savvy, but am happy to help with any questions you may have.

     

    Yeh - gotta love that low pound - I have a pension from ex-employer British Airways, now worth not a lot!

     

    Cheers,

     

    Neil

    Thanks for the offer. Might as well cash in the pension and buy my radio with it!

    I hope to be making good use of the build forums that is for sure, sadly I think a flight to Australia when finished is probably a bit too far me :(

     

     

    Trig radio and transponder in Savannah S

    Its ok to sort the wire runs when you have the units mounted. Only a few wires to connect remote head in panel to the units that your mounting behind the seat. Most of the wires go to the 25 pin connector on the unit. I put a 5mm rubber spacer under the unit mounting cradles to place them off the floor a little in case I ever spilt some liquid, water etc as if mounted direct the florr could get some water damage. The cradle mounts are made to have it off the floor a little but I made it 5mm higher. You'll need the correct crimping tool and die for the pins. There a great radio and when you first use it take the instructions to adjust the factory squelch and volume settings. I also mark on the copied instructions the % of adjustment for reference when adjusting. Cheers Mike

    Thanks to all for the replies. I hope to order the equipment with a wiring harness and if I get it slightly too long I can always chop a bit off. From pure guess work and measuring my imaginary plane(me sat on a kitchen chair) I will probably go for 4m.....

    Dear all,

     

    I need to make up a wiring harness and dont have access to a Savannah at the moment. If I mount the Trig headers centrally at the top of the dash how long a cable would I need to then mount the remote transmitter modules in the space behind where the seats join the tail section? I dont need to be too precise.

     

    Thanks in advance

     

    Richard

    Hello and thanks for letting me join,

     

    I live in France and am still learning to fly, I hope in the next few months to start building a Savannah S from ICP. I seem to spend most of my time trawling the net to find all the advice and equipment I will need.

     

    Things on my mind currently:

     

    1 new or recon engine

     

    2 80 or 100hp (I think 80 for my needs is enough)

     

    3 Get the radio and transponder now to take advantage of the weak pound

     

    4 corrosion protect all the ali parts before assembly and how

     

    5 painting (or not)

     

    6 Hangar space

     

    I am sure there are many questions and adventures to come.
