X-air Standard with rotax 618 engine
Hey All. Recently I purchased an x-air Standard with a rotax 618 engine. I just wanted to ask, I’ve heard different stories about their reliability as opposed to the 582 engines that are common on these aircraft. I’ve heard that the 582 is fairly reliable. But I’ve heard differing opinions on the 618 engine. I know mine does not have a cylinder head temperature gauge, but does have a exhaust temperature gauge. The aircraft and engine only have 82 hours on them, however the whole thing is 24 years old. And at this time, I do not have the money or time to have the engine overhauled. So I would like to run on condition if possible. I believe this should be okay. But I just want to know if anybody else owns a similar aircraft and engine combination, if there are any problems I need to watch out for. I don’t use the oil injector, the person I bought the aircraft OFF removed it and told me I should premix the fuel. He also said it was a 50 to one ratio. So 200 mL for every 10 L of fuel. Although he told me to bump it up to 220 mL , for a little bit of extra protection. I did have the engine running once, but didn’t have it running very long. It sounded okay, and ran fine at idle and at reasonable rpm. But didn’t open it up to full power. Some people have told me that they need to be run wide-open. Others have told me that they can run to lean while climbing out and that causes them to burn out. I just would like to know the information about the engine and how to make it last as long as possible. I know of many people who have had 582s running on condition for over 1000 hours with great success. Hopefully the 618 can be just as reliable if you look after it right. Any information would be greatly appreciated. Also, in general, any general things to look out for with the aircraft in general. As this is my first time owning an x-air. I have heard that they are extremely low maintenance. But anything to watch out For or anything that I should do to make the aircraft last as long as possible would be greatly appreciated.

Re: Voltage regulator on my x air hawk
Yes, be sure to get the actual Kubota regulator and not one of the cheap copies. When the original regulator failed on my 2200 after many years of service, I put a cheap one on and it only lasted a couple of months. I replaced it with the actual Kubota part and it has been working well for several years now.

Justin,
This is the one I use - most are Chinese copies, so if you want the Kubota original look for one from a bona fide Kubota dealer.

Thank you very much for all your answers. If someone have pictures of the engine mount, will be great.

Hi all, If I may add my 5 cents worth.? Have you considered a Rotax 618 … It’s got the horsepower and it’s an engine that was an option for the Xair standard without the requirement of redesign.? They are still out there and spares are available.?

Ive not seen an X air standard with a 912 but I have a n Xair F with
the 912, in fact mines was the development prototype in the UK.
The 912 does not give any performance advantage over a 2 stroke but
you get a lot less gliding practice.
The modifications to the normal x air f to fit the 912 were:-
special engine mount where the engine sits further back than a 2
stroke. The oil reservoir is not in the wing but at the back of the
engine
The front engine struts are the standard part but cut shorter.
Lightweight floor
Lightweight air suspension
Lightweight digital instruments
Lightweight wheels
The battery is shoved as far back in the tail as possible.
Rather than modify an xair standard, it would be far easier to
modify an Xair F. There are plenty around with poor engines going
cheap.

For sure not better performance because aerodinamic it is like it

We saw some pictures about, but if i understand right, it was

Other question, Randkar from france is it not working anymore?,

Thanks Michael, some really good info to work with. The problem is that there isn't any real decent alternatives to keep them flying. They are fairly high drag/low speed which is where the issues start with aircooled configurations. I'm just not ready to give up on the little kite just yet, absolutely loved flying it and did a number of trips around 650km in a day.
The Dalby guys are good LAME's so will keep working at it when I get the time and see where it goes.
Thanks again for your info.
Cheers Greg
Hello Greg and others. I didn't see a lot of standard model X-Air's
in France fitted with the 912 which we used to tow huge advertising
banners along the French coastline. These worked really well with
the 912 because the banner created so much drag it balanced the
aircraft. The 912? is definitely heavier than the Jabiru by the time
you add all of the extras like the exhaust system, the oil tank etc.
the 912 versions in France basically had the very rear of the engine
touching the leading edge of the wing, they sat back a real long way
and if they weren't towing a banner they required a lot of back
stick just to fly straight and level this is why I just wouldn't
recommend the 912. Added to this is the fact that you need to store
the oil reservoir inside the wing above the cockpit and this comes
with its own problems when it comes time to change the oil etc...??
you will need to cut a hole in the wing nappy because the oil tank
is too large to fit through the wing without opening the top. Also,
the oil tank needs to sit above the main fuselage tube because most
of them there is not enough room between the large wing ribs at the
end of each wing and the fuselage tube to fit the oil tank.....

Hi, if you are meaning the original xair std that
mostly had the 2 stroke engines on them thenI have tried to find
the mount you are referring to (shown in the xair std manual as
option) however no luck. I did ask Michael a good while ago and
was informed they were never put into production. I also chased
up Seamus in Ireland, wealth of knowledge but a difficult guy to
contact at times, guess like us all very little spare time.
I don't agree with the too heavy statement, they
are similar in weight to a Jabiru 2200 which I have on mine
from first flight,? it balanced well in the middle range for
the weight and balance calculations and flies very nicely. I
have flown it for some quite long distances and it performs
and handles very well and never any real trim needed.
However the Jabiru suffers with temp issues and
after many years and 300hrs of flying trying different duct
shapes came to the conclusion that the airspeed for the cruise
rpm is just not sufficient.
I have been working with my local LAME and they
are confident that they can modify a 912 rear mount onto the
Jabiru mount.
The original Jabiru mount was supplied by Jabiru
in Bunderburg.
At the moment I don't have much more I can give
you as I haven't started on the mod, hopefully this is the
year to get it done.
Cheers
Greg
Hello, your messages a bit confusing because in the
subject you are referring to the Hanuman model but in the
text body you are referring to the X-Air standard ?
The 912 is really too heavy for the standard model, requires
a lot of modifications and really doesn't fly any good with
such a heavy engine. You are much better off only using the
912 in the Hanuman model.
i?m looking for the enginemount 912
80cv for X-air
standard, anyone know how to find it? Thank you
in advance

?Hello all,
Does anyone have an Amazon (preferably Canada) or OEM part number and where to source a new voltage regulator for my 2008 x air hawk Hanuman??
Or something on amazon that is 6-wire and very similar to my existing original/OEM unit?
Basically, the last few flights, my amperage sky rockets and pops the master 15 amp breaker. But after 15mins or so of flying, once everything gets nice and hot, the amperage goes back down to normal and everything goes back to normal.?
Some have told me it's likely the voltage regulator.
Looking forward to hearing back from anyone who may assist.
Thanks?
