Very interesting. I wonder if the wreckage will ever be found?

It is all very tragic. Condolences to the family.

Well done Cookie. Many happy flying hours ahead!!

Hello nsialan9, A warm to the Forum!

I am with you Marty. It has to be a combination of Bernoulli and Newton. The CH701 and Savannah aircraft have fat "high lift wings" and that is Bernoulli at work. But, with leading edge slats (701s) OR vortex generators (Savannahs) a large angle of attack is possible putting Newton to work. Bernoulli and Newton make a great partnership!

Hi Mick, I wish you all the best!

JG3, you wrote in your comprehensive report: So I extended the original pitot tube, with a 10º downward cant to better match the airflow at high angles of attack. With this canted pitot, the ASI readings matched the Hall gauge right down to 30 kts. This canted pitot is especially essential for correctly measuring stall speeds at the corresponding high angles of attack that this wing is capable of. I was wondering if the angled-down pitot tube is accurate at higher (say cruise) speeds? If so, it may be worthwhile to keep it permanently angled down.

Will it be reported as a Cessna crash?

Thirdly: "The board will meet again in November."

It looks great, Marty!

Don't be too hard on yourself, Planey!

It is sad!

Hi Patrick, I have just started to construct an ICP Savannah. I have only a put a few hours into it, being right at the beginning of the build. Others claim it goes together well and, after doing a fair bit of research, this looks like the best self-constructed aircraft kit for sale presently ...at least the best I could find. Furthermore, those who own completed Savannah aircraft claim that they fly well too.

Hi Guss, I would like to you to this fantastic forum. Let us know what you're up to!

Very nice!

Not always. When it is a Labor-led government, the deputy is always a member of the Labor Party as well. It has been like that for over a century.

A very warm welcome, Cuttysark76. We hope to hear more from you there in Portugal.

The buyer could be Malcolm Turnbull. He has a bit more time now for travelling.

That's good news KGW: well done to the entire team. I hope that the Clarence Council still slings some funds your way as a thank you for taking this over! (My son lives in SG, a relatively short walk from the aerodrome. Next time I am there I would love to catch up)

I like it. Very practical!

Yes it is a very plain plane, on the outside.

Would you happen to have a picture of this?

Yes, who is actually at the top end? You can't tell from one day to the next.

I have a feeling they will be manufacturing Boeing 747s well after the Airbus A380 will have ceased production.

Pass. The 13 tons/hour fuel consumption is well outside of my recreational flying budget.
