Re: Value of X-air standard

 


All,

This is a followup for my prior messages about the "barn find" XAIR.? It appears to be an early model with the engine mounted up high.

The owner of the land where it sits wants it moved ASAP.? He sold that portion of his ranch and wants to move the plane elsewhere.? I am concerned if it is dismantled without care it could end up in a lot worse condition than it is in now.

I heard that by removing the horizontal stabilizers and a few other items that the wings can pull partly out and then fold back against the fuselage.

Could someone direct me to an operator's manual or instructions for accomplishing that?? It would make moving the plane and storing much better while I help him figure out what to do with it.? We may just give it to an EAA chapter as a project plane.

Thank you,

?????????? Rol

I think it would be most important to find paperwork for certification and Special Air Worthiness Certificate.

I have seen an X-Air Standard ?in the past that was never "papered up" and unfortunately I really don't want to dismantle one

?for a "miscellaneous parts / and plans" EAB program for Light Sport Aircraft, etc. ?

Maybe find a dataplate and certificates from a wrecked but not decertified X-Air?

Just my humble thoughts, legal or not is a question!

Interesting. You know what happened with the engine? Funny you say that because this year once I took my airplane out of winter storage I put brand new NGK dr9ea spark plugs and the first three flights went great but then the fourth flight when I was checking my magnetos probably to taking off when I turned off the left Magneto the engine started running really rough so I took all the spark plugs out to give them a really deep clean and I expect to go flying again this coming Saturday and I hope the problem goes away but I have no idea why there was over 300 RPM difference once I turned off the left magnetos even though I put brand new spark plugs. I have never had the situation ever before it happened

Thanks for the information.? I'm actually looking to purchase a New Hawk/Hanuman.? The black one looks great but it appears to have sold (I only recently came across the ad and it was listed as sold). It doesn't look there are any others for sale in Canada.

It does seem like a fun and economical aircraft!

Re: X-Air Hanuman in Canada

 

Hi Aman

Not sure about dealers í your country. There are however few dealers in Europe who might provide some help. The main distrubutor in Europe is French company : Randkar - and then there ís one in UK -
You could try contacting them.
Let me know if there is a problem.
