Sorry for the delay I had to figure out how to get pictures posted. At cruise I fly at 55MPH @ 8 Litres/hour, and fun flying is at 65MPH @ 10 Litres/hour.It flew in the configuration just below for the first 12 years of its life. Weight 171Kgs no fuel. Propellor is a Kevin Traeger unit 54 X 29.Image Inserts:
Then I lost the use of the high roof shed it was stored in and had to install a folding mast, as I only have a few inchs clearance when I walk into the shed at home. As the next photo will show.Then whilst the unit was being modified I decided to step the keel, change the Joystick, Engine Mount, Seattank, Harness, Rudder assy, Radiator, Instument Pod & Throttle Cluster.Image Inserts:
It's first flight after all this was the Nationals at Alice Springs last year. Finishing weight 169Kg no fuel.Flew very well. The radiator ran cool at Alice Springs tempuratures, which was a bonus as I thaught it was a little small. Flys very different than the original configuration.
