Yeah, That would be nice to know for sure.

Well that is good to hear that they are still making them, I just did not see the kits advertise anywhere anymore and had me wondering, They are a great flying airplane for sure.

Re: X-Air Standard and F

 

You still buy a new :S model from Australia. I just landed with the runway lights and beacon at 9A9. Beautiful evening flight over the mountains in my S with a 2200 Jabiru. Best flying and most fun airplane ever. For my low and slow with the doors off. I would not trade it for a 172. No kidding.

Hello there, yes they are still making them but the market has changed substantially for reasons that most people don't comprehend.

Most people are now wanting to spend more than $100,000 on a plastic fantastic and they seem to have lost the enthusiasm for flying more basic aircraft like the X-Air which is really, really disappointing.

It is funny that a lot of our customers in Australia who owned and X-Air, went on to purchase and fly a plastic fantastic and after the initial enthusiasm wore off desperately want to get back to flying aircraft like the X-Air again.

They seem to be a very fun machine that nowadays is so underrated.

Probably, they are certainly still making bits for them and some of us are still flying them.

I would imaging if they are still for sale, then numbers will be very low since the h was introduced.

Some of still choose them over conventional aircraft because of their slow and safe Handling.

There are plenty of second hand ones around.?

Regards,

Jon

X-Air? H model with Jabiru 2200.? Went flying yesterday evening and the OAT was 97.? CHT on climb out was around 355.? Level flight CHT was around 335.

My oil cooler is new and directly in front of the cowling opening. This is my first summer flying the X-Air so not sure if this is normal.

Thanks for the info. Having the Pitot / ASI calibrated on

    I have never heard such rubbish. The airspeed indicator is reading
    106 knots and you are only doing 85 kn. This tells me that they
    expect you to have the cheapest non-calibrated airspeed indicator
    known to man or the installation is completely wrong. The easy way
    is to go to an avionics technician and get a pitot and static test
    done to the aircraft. This will give them a certified document which
    they must accept

The difference between CAS and IAS should not be more then 3-5 mph at these slow speeds not 21.

    It gets real windy, every piece of dust and dirt in the cockpit will
    end up coming out past your eyes as it gets blown and the end
    evacuated out of the cockpit. You must also make sure that there is
    no way can get through between the edge of the seat and the fuselage
    otherwise you will end up filling up the rear section of the
    aircraft with slipstream air and this creates massive drag as well
    as possibly causing damage to the fabric on the fastback

Please note: because of the volume of e-mail we are now receiving our replies are
done using voice recognition software in an effort to speed up the reply process.
Sometimes the voice recognition program inserts silly words or doesn't actually
do what it is meant to do.  Occasionally these mistakes get through our quick
proofreading of each e-mail sent, so please accept my apologies if the odd mistake
gets through.
