We had ours built by Edge from a new core, product quality is excellent as is support and backup, runs turbine smooth, no real increase in cruise but gets off faster and climbs like a homesick angel.

We have that setup in our “S”

goes well, what did you want to know?

Hi Mark,

Has as this project exhaust system evolved any further?

Many thanks

Robbie

Hi Hank,

‘I did a heap of homework around this mod for bungee replacement but haven’t done it, none of the guys round here have had any issues that I’m aware of.

fuse off to painters next week so I’m nearly at the 95% done and 95% to go stage.

cheers

Sorry about the last post with nothing added, as these transducers measure pressure or head the “ head” value will change with every roll axis angle change, only going to be accurate or relevant as a straight and level setup with no g forces present also? Maybe, maybe not.

Welcome to the world of brain screwing. I have done lots of research on this subject and I can not find anything conclusive. There seems to be different trains of thought about it. I am going to try it and see actually what happens. My theory is that fuel has a weight regardless of surface area because it has a specific gravity but height as in "the head" could very well change this weight but I am not sure. The only way to know is to set something up and try it. Either way no matter how high the fuel is above the sensor or what sort of surface area so long as the sensor is below the fuel it should measure something. Now because you setup the sensor to read no fuel and then full fuel....no matter what the scale you then calibrate the span of what you have so as that fuel depletes or gets turned off by a switch the pressure on the sender should change and of course give you a reading based on your calibration.We will see once I get the electronics finished and hooked up to a computer so I can see the values. Then I can change the head height and also surface area but keeping the head height the same and see if it changes the calibrated values

Most of life is a experiment :)

Good morning,

Do the bungee cords last well in the Savannah? Has anyone contemplated using the Viking made steel spring for the Zenair?

Thanks Robbie

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?

Cheers

Hi all, just arrived to gather information and tips for a Savannah S build.

Regards

Robbie
