I recently lost half the left hand door in flight. I probably failed to latch the door.

 

I have asked for drawings of doors so that I can adapt to the latest specs. No answer so far.

Have recently bought X-Air S with Jab engine. It is everything that is claimed. I would recommend it for a first aircraft. The 60 kts criuise is a feature that improves your forecast skills. More than 20 kts head wind means wait until another day. i very much like the undercarriage as it is tough and compliant.

 

I dont like the way pencils etc can drop under the floor and hard to retrieve.

We have an X-air standard with jab engine. 19 reg. I have been very pleased with the costs. The comparison with second car is about right. most of our money being spent on replacing hand held radio etc. great to fly.

 

 

Just taken ownership of X-air with Jab 2200 Number 1261. 240 hours no apparent problems.
