Hi, i’m planning to install wheel ski on my savannah, i will have to fit a longer shaft on the inside side of the landing gear. I put a picture (another aircraft type) for example) , my question is : is the shaft come with the inner plate (the brake attachement) or it’s 2 different pieces...

I’m trying to be clear but english is not my language .

Hi ,Carlisle tire 8.00x6. Turf glide.

Thank you g2omer for your data. From your avatar I take it that you have no wheel spats. What size of wheels are there on your plane?

Hi, my savannah vg : weight 680

Cruise at 5000 : 95 mph

Max cruise : around 105 mph

No long range tank

Fuel burn 15.5 l/h

912 uls

Mtow 1232

Hi, I am planning the 72 month inspection for my savannah vg( in few month) I see that we have to replace flight control line bushing, nuts and bolt... my question:

Should i replace the bushing present on the control stick ?

How much bushing in the flight control line ? I checked in the manual and i see 2 bushing on the up/down elevator bellcrank ... where is the other bushing ?

I know that the moving surface have bushing too but it's for the 1000 hre inspection .

Thanks for your help and sorry fir my english

Hi , I will need to remove the oil tank for cleaning at the next oil change... it seems to be not easy , what's the best way for remove, the top or the right side ?

Thanks

Impressive ! How much long is this track ?

Hi Francois,Assuming that your aircraft is a Savannah because you posted in the Savannah section.

That stiffness problem with the controls sounds like the aileron control rod spherical bearings binding with the bell crank at full flap and full deflection. Check them or get someone familiar with the savannah to check them, access through the big hatch in the bottom of the rear fuselage. They should have a couple special spacers on one side and one on the other of the spherical bearing. If the original builder just used standard washers on the AN5 bolts, or the spacers in th wrong order, then it will bind. I think that's what it will be, hopefully.

 

Cheers

I will verify at my next flight, I open the hatch each week but with the flap in up position !

Oups , sorry .... it's a Savannah vg .

Hi, when i received my aircraft ,about 6 month ago, I found the aileron control a bit stiff and I lubricated the control and all work ok but in the last stage of flap ( full flap) the aileron control is stiff, little hard to move, even in the ground. But honestly , I don't use this stage often.... Is it normal ?

sorry for my english

Hi, I have a question , where is the difference between a savannah vg mtow 520kg and savannah vg 560 kg?

Thanks

Francois

I made a continuity test from both position of the switch, the result : ok. Also I measured voltage to the sensor terminal and I measured voltage...

Hi ! My outside air temperature does not work , I made some test and I think the sensor is the problem. Anyone know where I can find another and what type and manufacturer of the sensor... I don't find any info on the sensor... Thanks

Francois from Canada !

Hi, i just made my w &b on my savannah vg: 314 kg. No chute.
