    I read that, thanks Bex: really interesting. Anyone reading that will have to agree that RockyDog2 almost turned his CH-701 into a Savannah!

    Hi Tom, I like the idea of a glove box. Is that the deepest glovebox possible or are you allowing some breathing space behind it to keep the instruments cool on either side?

    In readiness for my build, I have been reviewing some of the Savannah build threads in Recreational Flying. Much to Mark Kyle's credit -and all the fantastic contributors to this thread, this thread has been viewed 104,278 times! Wow!!

    I believe it is! And, for that reason, I am building an "ultralight" Savannah. Here in New Zealand, up-to-600-kg aircraft are known as "microlights" and that is what my Savannah will be registered as when it is complete.

    Thanks for the recommendation Steve: I have ordered one from Ebay USA tonight.

    If this is the one you were referring to, it is still available today: Paint Buddy Touch Up Roller - Perfect Decorating Painting Tool Easy Lightweight

    Is it part of the 560 kg to 600 kg weight increase?

    Maybe Bex was allowed to download the plans from Zenith after paying a $350.00 fee?

    Nice balance between the darker blue and the white wings. The light coloured wings should save them (and the fuel inside it) from overheating in the summer sun.

    I think you're right: doing something every day will get you there in the end!

    I hope you are still progressing!

    Hi, I will PM you about the Alodine.

    Hi Haydn, It has been nearly two years. Do you still do a bit of flying around Norfolk Island?

    I suppose you don't mind the odd double up. What would be really annoying is if they missed putting components in your kit.

    Hello Rubidor, and to the Forum! Have you pretty much made up your mind on a Savannah. What engine are you planning to put in the aircraft?

    When I view your picture ("Underneath the baggage compartment, looking backwards"), I seem to see a light at the end of the tunnel. I hope you can too!

    P Perhaps it is a rogue ICP Bingo part that fell into your plywood box at the factory?

    These straps have plenty of lightening holes!

    What have you got in mind?

    As long as the high intensity 14 Hz sound doesn't shake the aircraft to pieces!

    Do you still own the X-Air? ...or did you sell your plane??

    I hit a kangaroo last December and it is not fun. I like the idea of air horns that Mark and you have fitted to your aircraft. But I wonder how you could warn people on a beach with shuroos? ...the frequency is above the human audible range.

    Where is the picture of the floor windows?

    I am sure they will "throw the book" at the pilot. Beach goers should be able to feel safe without a threat to their lives from above.

    Or through-bolts on an engine: the engines are very dependent on them to keep the running satisfactorily.
