I have verified that somebody can still

The last one I purchased took about 4 months for

I know most of the two-stroke engines if not all of them have

modern options. Obviously, as I have mentioned I already have my

completely brand-new kit and a completely brand-new engine that

parts for people with existing kits from now on????? see above, they are also looking for other

new 582 engines are still available in different markets but
they are actively considering the Hirth H35? model engine

also note that this engine has a fuel injection option

markets which are currently represented by dealers.
Overall this is really good news and I am excited to again being able
to support our customers and their requirements. As many of you know
we have approximately US$10,000 of parts in stock available for

exciting and a great way forward to support the X-Air brand and legacy
aircraft.

I would appreciate any help.

Please make sure it is UV rated polycarbonate. The stuff you will
get from a hardware store may only last 6 months if it spends a few
days out in the sun. If it is not UV rated it very quickly gets
damaged and becomes brittle. Make sure it has UV rated or "this side
to the sun" printed on the plastic protection sheet. Thanks Michael

I've just replaced one windshield and one door on my Xair
Falcon.
I used Lexan which is a top brand of Polycarbonate Sheet.
I was advised to use 1.5mm as its easier to cut. Having bought
it I found the original on my aircraft was 2mm.?? My windscreen
is in 2 halves and I have only replaced one half. In the air I
notice the 1.5mm deforms more than the 2mm and it wobbles a bit
on full power.
Its not a big issue but if I was ordering again I think I would
stay with 2mm for the windscreen. On the doors it makes no
difference and 1.5mm is fine.
I cut it using tin snips with a dremel on the dv port on the
door window.? I had no problems cutting it.
Don't use a jigsaw as it will split. When drilling screw holes
make them large enough to allow for any expansion or movement.
If they are tight the Lexan may crack around screws.
regards,
Jonathan
