    I wonder, why wouldn't it be available for the S?

    I am not all that happy placing a LEAD-ACID battery on my aircraft. Any acid that spills is likely to cause untold damage to the airframe. ICP supplies a (heavy) lead acid battery which doesnt impress me. I think I will be looking fora LiFePo battery or similar.

    All I an say is "Wow - what dedication"

    I look forward to It!

    Hi Mark, I am in Carterton. There are three Savannah builders currently, and I intend to start my one soon (the kit has arrived but the shed took much longer to build than anticipated ). So, by the end of this month there should be four active builders in the Wairarapa. Perhaps we could all meet in one place, if that helps? Because of my work commitments that means either mid-to-late afternoons, most evenings or Saturday. When are you likely to be in the Wairarapa?
  6. eightyknots
    That's good to know. I can't wait to start my build.

    If you're in the Wairarapa, It would be great to catch up. That's where I live.

    It should simply be as follows: 1. "Hush jets" with sound levels not exceeding x dB may operate 24 hours, around the clock. 2. All other (noisier) aircraft obey the current curfew hours. * Where x is sound level not likely to interrupt the sleep of 90% of surrounding residents ....bearing in mind that the locals have had free sound insulation retro-fitted to their homes over the last 10 years.

    It is interesting that the long wing version (with presumably the heaviest spar to cope with a larger bending moment) is also the least expensive Skyranger! * I managed to edit -or rather move- my wayward post above. Thanks, Garfly, for alerting me to this before the edit time limit expired.

    Welcome Hank. Tell us more about your interests :-)

    Well said. Sociopaths are the worst bosses: they'e permanently unreasonable and difficult to work with and work for.
  12. eightyknots
    True. But the curfew remains in place.

    I am sure fitting it to a Savannah S is going to be more of a challenge.

    I wonder why PNG has such restrictions on home built planes? Zenith planes are used a fair bit for missionary work in Africa.
  15. eightyknots
    Really interesting!

    I reckon that the capacitors will be even better than the diodes, but both will definitely work well.

    At Evans Head. So Q Fever isn't confined to Q ueensland?

    Do you happen to know how much each one weighs?

    The reality is that many people don't pay any donation. For instance, how many people support Ian and Corinna in providing this forum with a $50 First Class Membership, less than $1 per week?

    How did you go with this? Did you get a response??
  21. eightyknots
    Are the chart holders the ICP option or did you make them up yourself?

    That is a useful comparison, xair327!

    I know this is a decade old post but I am curious about northern and southern hemisphere compasses which leads to this question: When an operator flies an aircraft in both hemispheres (e.g. Southern Asia, Central America and Africa) do they have two compasses?
  25. eightyknots
    I would consider contacting Ace Aviation in the district. I did some flight training with them (when the flight school was located at NZMS).
