A quick tip for mounting the doors is to carefully burn a small hole through the Fastback fabric with a soldering iron (this permantly seals the hole) and mount the rear door frame mounts directly

Our fuel systems are slightly modified on the standard layout because in Australia we are required to have a fuel drain system. The standard tube connecting the two fuel tanks is replaced with

To get the fastback really tight we leave the frame shown loose on assembly, when the fastback is pulled into place and the fit checked the frame can either be bent up or down and then pop riveted

The standard X-Air does not come with a luggage rack system (The "F" Model comes with a luggage compartment as standard ??). We get a fabric / tent repairer to sew in two zips to the fastback

Every aircraft owner has a different preference for the dashboard layout, even though we use a standard layout design. It is important to have the longer instruments like the altimeter etc... in the

The phone keeps ringing..... 'Which are the right cables ??' All the cables are packed in the same bag and some owners cant work out which cable to use. The rudder cable has a swaged eyelet at one

I was asked for another photo of the battery carrier in place on the aircraft, this one is held in with 6 cable ties rated at 54 kgs each. With a 300 kg total rating it would take a 30 G impact to

Hi Richard, Allan From Western Australia you said a lot cheaper than ROTAX will i sell my 582 ( 100 Hrs ) on a X-AIR What will it cost in Australia???///////// Keep A the good work.. Allan

When will you fit the engine on the Xair? Bill

Thanks Peter. I have doors, but I like to fly with them off so I do not have the doors fitted now. Also no static line. Cheers, Bill

G'day Bill, I have doors on my XAIR and find that the cabin pressure is definiteliy lower that outside pressure. This affects my ASI reading and altimeter readins, as I do not have a static line. Do

Bill, a heads up on the Hirth: A local guy here in North Carolina has been running the 65 hp one with fuel injection since last year on his Rans S12, now has around 125 hours on it and I heard today
