Hi, my name is Allan Grigo. I am the owner of an Xair, and am also
the agent in Western Australia.

To new builders - a couple of things to watch -

When aligning the front wheel with the rudder and drilling the bolt
hole for the front wheel assembly, drill one side first and insert
bolt, before drilling the other side. Don't try to drill the two
holes in one go, otherwise the holes will not line up with the
existing holes.

In relation to all aileron controlled pulleys and nuts under the
floor - make sure all nuts have ample Loctite and pulleys are free to
turn, because once the pod is installed these parts are not
accessible.


Finally - has any tried, or knows anybody who has fitted a 4 stroke
Subaru motor to an Xair. Would appreciate any comments, or knowledge
of this conversion.

Allan Grigo

Michael,
I am running a Hirth 2706 on an Xair-F
I have a Powerfin F prop with a 3.16 reduction. My 68" 3 blade prop is set
at 14.5 degrees pitch to give me 6000 RPM at climb and about 6200 max RPM.
The plane weighs 256 kilos with 7 gal of fuel and full gross or 450 kilos,
with one 210 lb. pilot and a 215 lb. passenger.
I calculated the CG as follows:
Nose = 13.634 kilos
Right = 125 kilos
Left = 117.3 kilos
13.334 x 146 = 1991/255.9 = 7.77 cm. Forward of datum. So my nose is light
due to the light engine, but for some reason, my overall weight does not
seem light. Is that acceptable?
My 13 lb. 18 amp battery is behind the seat as far forward as possible. I
guess I could get a lighter battery or mount it behind the engine.
My speeds are alot higher than Xair specs show. The plane climbs at about
500 fpm, at about 50 to 55 mph which, I guess is okay for a hot day, and a
heavy load. Cruise is about 60 to 65 mph indicated at 5800 to 6000 RPM.
The plane stalls much higher than the 30 mph indicated in the factory specs:
about 46-48, no flaps. The trouble I'm having is that:
1. The flight numbers are higher than indicated by the manufacturer.
2. When I throttle back to 5500, I quickly drop speed to around 55 or so and
I loose altitude. I need about 5800 RPM to maintain level flight, and about
6000 RPM for a slight climb.
3. The engine overheats if I maintain 5800 RPM or better. I mean really hot.
550+ CHT
EGTs are O.K. at about 1100. I have an air dam on the front cylinder (as
recommended by Hirth because the plane is in a tractor congiguration) and
both cylinders read the same.
I talked to Stuart at Powerfin and he says I need more pitch to the prop, in
order to be able to have more thrust at lower RPMs. He says myt static
thrust is good, but cruise thrust is probably inadequate to overcome the
plane's drag at cruise speed - especially when the plane is fully loaded.
He says I'll have to cut the prop from 68" to 66" to allow for more pitch
and allow the engine to develop full power. The Hirth 2706 is rated at 65 hp
at 6200 RPM. Maximum torque is at 5700 RPM. So the engine runs at a lower
RPM than the Rotax 582. I asked Stuart if he thought I needed a lower ratio
gear box (like 2.59) and he said he didn't think that would help.
Questions:
How does this compare with your 2 seat performance on the Xair at
gross weight using a Rotax 582 engine? I know you like the 618, but how
does the 582 perform at Gross?
Do you think the prop is running too slow because of the 3.16 gear
ratio? What ratio do you run with the 582. What prop pitch.
What are your recommendations? (I can't afford a 618 right now.)

?Hi Michael,?Thanks for helping.?The flaps were set by the former owner - Guy at Speedwing.? When in the up position, they are almost exactly even with the ailerons.? They are about 1/2 cm higher than the ailerons, which I set with the stick per your instructions. We align the flaps level with the underside of the wing - using planks of wood or similar to do the job.?I flew the plane by myself this afternoon.? It was a perfect day for flying.? The plane flies great with only me in it and 10 gal of fuel.? I was able to cruise from 50 to 65 mph (43? to 56 knots) It should be going faster, is the ASI accurate ??, can you check it with a GPS ?, depending on my power setting.? I could hold level flight down to about 5000 RPM (50 mph or 43 knots) 5000 rpm on the Rotax will do just over 50 on ours.? There was no adverse yaw.? It seems my problem was mainly with two heavy people in it.? Of course, I want to fly with two people at times.?I hope you are wrong about the Hirth having 5 HP less than book.? Since I get book RPM, I was assuming I was getting full HP, Is your tacho accurate ???? it may say your getting full rpm but it may be much less - therefore much less horsepower.... can you get a lend of a digital tacho for comparison. There is something major wrong and i dont know what ?? we just have to eliminate the obvious first but Matt from Recreational Power (distributor for Hirth) says the engine will pick up a few HP as it breaks in.? Perhaps that is some of the problem.?For your 582 engines:

• Do you load it up to full gross weight? We fly ours at 490kgs in Australia
• How does it perform with two heavy people? Very well - 582 900 feet/min at 450kgs
• What prop do you use? Make, size, pitch? Brolga three blade 68" diameter 17 degrees
• What gear reduction do you use? Rotax e box 3:1 ratio
• What is your cruise, stall, and climb speeds at full gross?? Cruise 55 to 65, stall 25ish depends on heat etc.. climb ? they like to climb out hands free at 50 knots but you can pull them back to 35 but i like to let them fly
• What is the 582's power settings at cruise and climb? We gear climb full power 6500 rpm cruise 5200 to 5400 for 55 to 60 knots - all day long

?Thanks Michael,?Your stall is 25 knots?? That is pretty much book.? Mine is way higher.? I hope we can figure this out.? If it were my ASI, then the top speeds would be high too. right? Not really..... i have seen an ASI where someone blew into the end of it only read correct from about 35 to 50 knots over that it would go up to 90 knots and under 35 it would show about 15, so it can happen? If my revmeter (tach) was reading really low. then my engine wouldn't start getting hot at 5800 rpm.? But I should check them out. Your engine should run at max revs without overheating for a considerable period of time eg? our 503's air cooled will run for over 1 hour flat out 5600 rpm without any problems, just to try and keep up with the 618's / 582's.?I have a digital light tach that I tried.? It registered 1100 to 1700 RPM when I was showing 3000 on my engine tach.? I thought the digital tach was wrong. All i can suggest is eliminate the obvious first, replace / borrow a new tacho and check it out first because overreving the engine will cause it to destruct, once that's right check the ASI. Use a GPS and fly four legs, say a big square, go North for say 2 minutes and check your ASI against your ground speed then turn East and do the same, after completing the four legs average the ground speed and you have your average taking into consideration the wind direction by flying all four directions. Do this three times once at say 40 knots and them at 50 and again at 60 and it will tell you if its out an a particular range. Otherwise send it to an instrument tech and get him to check it.

Finally - where is your ASI pickup located this is also very important.

Thanks Michael

G'day Bill,

?

I have doors on my XAIR and find that the cabin pressure is definiteliy lower that outside pressure. This affects my ASI reading and altimeter readins, as I do not have a static line. Do you?

I did the same? Pitot tube tilted up. But that means that as you put thte nose down for higher speeds, the ASI will over read more, than with the nose up at low speeds. If not done yet, do fit a static pickup and dine to your instruments.

?

Cheers,

My experience with the Hirth 2706 corroborates yours:
if you assume that a 582 produces 65 true BHP, I would
rate the 2706 at 59-60 only.

Hi All

Some time ago I advised Michael Coates of a very comprehensive locally
produced instrument that I was busy testing on my X-Air. I'm very pleased to
report that the designer Phillip Van Heen is now satisfied that he has
ironed out all the pre-release bugs on his Skydat GX1 system. It's now ready
for distribution. Lets be honest, the "electrics component" involved in the
build process still creates the biggest stumbling block towards finishing
your X-Air in anything close to 100hrs and is the least satisfying. Why?
Because if you do it well, none of it should be evident! Only you will ever
appreciate what it took in time, effort and detail to ensure that every wire
was beautifully soldered, crimped, insulated and where possible - hidden! I
don't doubt for a moment that the more conventional amoung us might prefer
round guages that resemble Microsoft Simulator but surely, if you wanted to
pilot a Boeing dashboard, why fly 'Microlights'. This system is it!
Affordable (+/- $ 1000 US complete), lightweight, trick, easy to install and
very comprehensive. I rest my case. .

My best regards now


Richard Stubbs.
