Re: removing the instrument panel

 

Because most constructors would have fitted the instrument panel before fitting the windscreen, it can be difficult to remove. If it is held in place by captive nuts, then that makes things a lot easier. If not, very difficult to get at the nuts behind the panel.
? The UK kits had captive nuts.
There is a modification, approved in UK, that allows the front bit of the pod to be cut off and made as a removable nose cone. I did that and I still have the details , it was published in the UK Microlight Flying magazine years ago and I also have the original wiring diagram. The removable nose cone is brilliant, it comes off in two minutes and it allows easy access to the nosewheel assembly and pedals? and would help re your panel removal. It is also brilliant if ever you need to remove the windscreen.

X-Air Standard Instrument Panel

 

Anyone had any experience removing the instrument panel on an X-Air Standard?? How difficult is it to pull it out so I can easily access the wiring behind it?? Any tips?? I am seriously considering running all new power wiring in my aircraft.? It has had several owners each who made some modifications.? No documentation of wiring changes and no original wiring diagram for the aircraft.? A rat's nest of wires behind the panel that are difficult to trace without pulling out the panel.? May be time to start over with a clean slate.? Any suggestions are welcome.

Thanks.

Re: X-Air Ultralight Aircraft X-Air Standard and F

 

I agree. I would not trade my S for a 172 even money. The more pilots that fly with me the more they get it. I have hopes for more enthusiasm for the X-Air. As I commented previously, 2 guys at my field are looking for a Standard. One is a high time GA pilot selling a Cherokee 160.

Re: X-Air Standard Nose Gear Fork Replacement

 

Are you replacing it because of damage or just wear? I just replaced the front wheel bearings that were shot. Easy task.?


Re: X-Air Ultralight Aircraft Front fork replacement

Personally, I would be a little bit worried because the front pod and the windscreen structure becomes "almost" a structural part of the aircraft providing support for a lot of other areas. Simply cutting an access panel into the pod would weaken its integrity. I would have concerns about doing this.

Thanks. Sounds like a great idea. I was thinking about at least putting in an access panel anyway.

Hi . I did the removable nosecone
modification, it is an approved mod in the UK, brilliant,
The modified cone is removed by undoing six Dzuz fasteners,
takes 60 seconds and then you have the fork mount, pedals,
brake cable ends right there in front of you , also easy
access to those windscreen bolts and fairly easy access to
the rear of the panel.The mod was published in the
Microlight Flyer UK magazine some years ago, Basically, you
cut off the nosecone with a Dremel or similar, fabricate a
flange on the cone and a matching mounting flange on the
remaining pod out of fibreglass, tape the cone in place and
drill the holes for the fasteners .??????? It might take a few
hours but it solves all the inside-the-pod access problems
for ever !Huw
