Sorry to hear about the sudden loss of oil just after takeoff. A very sad report. The occupants didn't have a chance.

Me too!

If you feel a bit troubled, it is better to simply ignore the troll. Don't give any of them any oxygen. If they get no response(s), then eventually they fade away and either troll elsewhere or spend time weeding their garden.

I am using Cortec VpCI-373, a corrosion inhibitor that is recommended by Zenith. VpCI-373 is frequently used by North American aluminium aircraft builders. So far, I have found it easy to apply with a brush. This Cortec product is supposed to prevent any vapour (and airborne corrosive salts) entering into the small gaps between the riveted parts which may eventually cause corrosion.

The sound will always be projected ahead with RAAus aircraft but they don't work for aircraft flying faster than Mach 1.

The tapered wing roots certainly look 701-esque.

Very nice. Thanks Garry.

Does your one have the 600 kg wing? ...or are you planning to 'beef up' your wings to the higher weight performance??

I wonder why there is no dealer Down Under?

It cost about twenty million US dollars.

A great variety of artistic work on these planes❗

Fantastic❗

Hi Skippy, Have you considered getting an MGL brand EFIS?

This is a nice picture of the engine from Wikipedia.

You could work out the miles per gallon rate for both oil and fuel for this mode of transport.

Well done, Jack! Than you for the pictures. 👍

Perhaps you could share a few pictures?

Well done Jack. This is good news!!

Forum member JG3 wrote a nice review of the inverted stabiliser/elevator as found on the Zenith CH701 aircraft. Hans at Kilkoy replaced this with an ICP Savannah horizontal stabiliser/elevator. This article shows real world experience with empennage lift and drag: https://www.stolspeed.com/tail-feathers

When the aircraft is an a steep bank angle the rudder will produce lift.

A very important consideration is that it has to be light!
