Our plane has flown! Small problem though...

XAir Main
 

Hi Guys,

I flew my plane today!

All was well except that I'm getting high EGTs. I'm running a 68" GSC wood
prop with 16 degrees of pitch and a Hirth 2706.
Both plugs are brown and not wet. The needle is a 15K2 and the main jets are
160s. I'm getting 1300 degrees on the EGTs at 6100 RPM and it settles to
about 1200 at cruise (4200 RPM) and 400 on the CHTs either way (I did see
the back cylinder go to 500 once). We've tried 170 main jets hoping to run
it richer to get the EGTs down but it made no difference on a second
circuit. Judging by the plugs we are running just fine. The engine seems to
running very well with no indication of wanting to quit (I know go ahead and
laugh, I know Murphy's Law very well thank you!)

I'm using the Mikuni pump and I also have an electric pump but have not
found that it makes a difference. We are wondering at this point if the
location of the EGT probes is causing a high reading. I welded the bosses
about 80 MM from the head gasket (verified with pictures taken of other
Hirths at Sun N Fun). My assistant tells me that the further away from the
engine the probes are the higher the reading because the fuel is still
burning on exhaust. I've looked at a 503 and 582 and the probes are much
closer (more like 30 mm) to the head.

We are thinking about hooking up an EIS with their probes to see if they are
reading properly. I'm using Westach gauges and probes.
Anyone have any suggestions otherwise?

Re: X-AIR CENTRAL Re: ETG Probes & their positioning

Xair Ontario
 

Thanks Richard,

I know I have the probe bosses in the right place as I've measured them from
factory units along with photographs as proof. I've just been informed the
engine will run hot for the first 25 hours or so because of the Nicasil
coating. 1300 degrees is not to be passed but 1200 is normal at first.

I'm still going to hook up an E.I.S. to see if they read the EGTs any
different.

Hello Trevor

As a general rule of thum, the position of your EGT probes needs to be 100mm
from the piston skirt. Establish the distance using a vernier from the
piston skirt to the end of your exhaust port and then add the difference
along your exhaust manifold to make up the 100mm not forgetting to include
the thickness of your gaskets. I don't know the Hirth motor although it's
success here in South Africa was short lived. I would like to suggest that
you contact the manufacturers of the "Hornet" fixed wing (the one that
resembles a Challenger) as this company has used the Hirth engine as
standard fare for many years and would seem happy with the product.

Best of luck

Richard Stubbs.

Gday again.... just a quick note: when adding links etc put in the full

This will make the address a link by adding the and you can go
directly to it by mouse click, the other way you need to type it all in and
any mistakes will stop your customer / enquiry from finding it.

One other thing.... when replying to a message delete all the advertising
from the bottom, otherwise we end up with messages with four or five adds on
the bottom, this not only takes up space but it also takes longer to

Hope this helps Thanks Michael

How to set up the Ailerons

Michael Coates
 

Setting up the Ailerons is a very important part of trimming the
aircraft for balanced flight, we use the following method for quick
set-up and find the aircraft flies perfectly. The attached pictures will
compliment the text.

Firstly this is a two person job.... forget it by yourself.

Tie the control stick in the central position of the cockpit, tie it so
it cant move when you pull on the ailerons further in the process. Place
a straight edge or similar under each wing wedged up against the leading
edge and trailing edge main tubes, the best position to do this
adjustment is where the main struts attach to the wing, it is possible
to tie them in position with some electricians tape or similar, the
factory suggest aligning each aileron so they touch each straight edge
but i have found through experiment that they are best if raised about
10 mm above the height of the straight edge.

By raising the ailerons a little the plane flies better in the turns and
does not suffer from the yaw problems that seem to happen in the
standard position; i may be wrong but i think the plane flies faster
with the ailerons lifted, something to do with reflex ??.

To align the ailerons properly start with the ailerons in the right
position and attach the bottom wires only, adjust the bottom wire with
the turnbuckle to remove the slack, when you are satisfied with the
position and tension you can then connect the top wires to the ailerons
and adjust the turnbuckles to take out all the slack from the cables.

Remove the string from the stick and remove the straight edges from
under each wing and give the controls a good workout to check for proper
operation, once satisfied position the stick centrally and replace the
straight edges and check everything again, when your happy lock the
turnbuckles and safety wire with a standard figure eight method.

If the cables are to tight the controls will be stiff and notchy, to
loose and they will be sloppy in flight, remember to use good quality
silicone spray on the ends of the aileron and also on the two 'bearings'
to reduce friction, finally do not over tighten the cap end bolts in the
outboard ends of the wings because this will cause a lot of friction,
and remember to safety wire them so they don't fall out.

Any questions please send me an Email.

Thanks Michael Coates X-Air Australia.


X-Air Weight and Balance Pictures

Michael Coates
 

It's very important to get the aircraft perfectly balanced for the best
performance, most of the aircraft in Australia that run Rotax 618's are
at the nose heavy end of the acceptable range, some of the lighter
engines like the 503's are at about the mid mark. I loaded a plane up to
be at the aft end of the limits and found it to be very hard to fly so i
would recommend from experience to keep it up the nose end.

The weight and balance calcs are very simple with the information
supplied with your kit, where most people come unstuck is in the actual
methods used in weighing the aircraft, obviously the more accurate the
better, but i have found a GOOD pair of bathroom scales does the job. By
GOOD i mean an expensive pair that will read up to 135 kg's, most scales
only go to 110 kg's and are not acceptable for this job as some of the
weights are up to 120 kgs.

The most important thing when weighing the aircraft is to keep the
wheels level, i use some wood placed under the two wheels not being
weighed, remember to chock the plane because when she rolls of the wood
it gets a good run up and can move up to two metres. With the other two
wheels chocked place the scales under the third wheel and take the
reading, please use a jack as shown in the attached pictures, if you
roll the wheel up onto the scales they will probably bend in the middle
and be useless, same goes for lowering the wheel onto the scales take it
easy, if you just drop the wheel down you will end up with bent set of
scales. To spread the load a bit better i use a piece of 6 mm think
aluminium about 300 by 300 mm to spread the load and i find this works
well. Remember to make sure wood is under the other two wheels or the
balance and weights will be out considerably.

Hop this helps, thanks Michael X-Air Australia.

Hi Trevor,

My needle is also 15K2, and my needle jet is 2.78.? Why is your main jet so low?? Why would it not be to factory specs?? Did you order and install a lower number (leaner) jet?? Why?? The old settings show a 170 main jet being used, but I would imagine you have a newer model engine and settings.? I would definitely run at least the 170 jets.?

Re: X-AIR CENTRAL How to set up the Ailerons

Bill Magrini
 

Michael,

According to aircraft theory, if you raise both ailerons from neutral, you will increase both cruise and stall speeds. If you lower them, you will decrease them both. So you're right: If theory holds true, the plane should fly faster.

I don't have a clue about why the plane would tend to yaw less. But the Xair manual said if you go positive, the plane will fly tail heavy, and if negative, the plane flies nose heavy. I understand your plane is on the nose heavy side, so the up aileron configuration, may counteract that somewhat.

Of course this is only conjecture on my part as I don't really know. I do enough reading to make me dangerous. I just thought I'd throw my 2 cents in.

By the way, your pic shows your aileron to be a finger width raised from the straight edge. I don't have near that much. I only have about 1/4 of an inch. Should I add more?

Regards,

Bill

P.S. Here are some more pics of my Xair F. The first is my ailerons and flaps, (I have no idea where the stick was when i took the pic.) The second shows the Hirth setup.

Thanks BIll, Matt said to run 180s as well so I will change them. The engine came with 160s nad came from Vancouver which has a higher elevation. Perhaps it was setup to run there?

Anyhow, today is very nice out but a bit windy right now. I'm hoping it calms down to give it a try tonight!

Joining the wings together - good tip

 

Another quick tip when joining the two wings together..... route the
straps as normal and use small clips to hold the straps in place.

When tensioning the wing pull up each strap and slowly work your way
around each tightening each strap a little bit at a time, if you try and
tighten the strap in just one go you will not get enough tension on the
fabric, so remember just a little bit at a time and you will get a
wrinkle free wing surface.

The clips make it really easy, if possible you will need 8 clips, once
tight remove a clip and finish with a secure knot.

Thanks Michael X-Air Australia
