I'm Bill Magrini -- Xair Dealer in the US fort Virginia and
Maryland.
I just completed my Xair F and have flown it twice. I Didn't set the
prop thrust line up properly, so it wouldn't climb so hot with two
people. I'm still tweaking the bird. I hope to have it all correct
this weekend.
Regards, Bill
What do you mean by not set the thrust line up properly ??, did you
have the gearbox upside down, what engine ??
I have about 25 hours in "F" models and they should climb a little
bit
better than the standard plane on the first stage of flap, i have
found full flap on takeoff is just like throwing out an anchor, but
having said that if you commence ground roll with no flap and then at
about 35 knots pull full flap she leaps off the ground real quick.
Someone wiser and more sensible than me told me it increases your
chance of stalling dramaticaly, so he did not recommend it as part of
normal flight practices.
Overall we find the "F" model a little bit faster (about 5-8 knots)
the roll rate is also about double, other than that they are very
similar.
Please let us know what your playing with and make sure to post a
picture of your aircraft in the Files section in the folder "Aircraft
Colours".... i am trying to build a library of different colour
schemes for customers who are always asking what does a pink and
purple look like etc...
Thanks Michael
