  1. Been talking with Danny Leach about this subject. I never use full flap at all on my Sav and neither does Danny. I am looking at making a new flap bracket with different position notches in it to put full flap in between where it is now and the first stage and then also make the first stage a bit less. This will allow for better use. Then if you need full flap it is really only a bit more than the original first stage of flap. My flap bracket is modified from standard in regard to its position but the flap angles are still the same as standard so I will keep my new flap lever positions but adjust the amount of throw it has.Mark

    Put the new plates in and they are just great one notch back of full makes all the difference to controllability thanks Mark

     

     

  2. Hi To all..With regards this placard concerning RPM operating range.during the 90's we experianced quite a few crankshaft problems with both the 503 but more so with the 582 engine.Rotax identified detrimental vibration harmonics at various RPM range,depending on whether the engine was fitted with a pull start or electric starter(addition of ring gear added weight and changed inertia of crank).The crank was nitrided,centre gear for rotary valve modified and later vibration damper fitted..We placed placards at the time to avoid continues operation within these critical ranges,however I dont believe I have noticed any current warnings by Rotax..In the case of the Stutbraced Drifter the aircraft is so heavy that operating out of this range would be difficult to say the least.As usual these are my opinions based on my experiances and not necessarily those of the Factory..Regards Richard..080_plane.gif.36548049f8f1bc4c332462aa4f981ffb.gif

    Great to still have good advice from someone who knows thanks Richard
