I have made my X-Air with a extra wide entry as I'm in a wheelchair and needed more room to get my legs in..
we also made a new windscreen that was about 6inch further past the frame pipe..

I test flew it myself a few months ago after a almost 3 year build and now have 6 hours of the needed 25 hour flight testing on it so far..

on a different note I had the wing battens sliding out of the wing past the ailerons each flight due too the crap desigh of the nylon rib ends which I had many of them fall apart before it even flew
so I custom made some bigger ones that are bolted to each battern and they are so much better and never had a issue since.

I attached a pic for you too see the wide entry me and my Dad made, we basiclly re designed the hole entry area and added a extra mount support to the floor and its stronger that the standard design..
I do have many pictures of the mods we done for my build log

as I am a paraplegic I also removed the foot peddles and added a extra lever for rudder in the middle of the seats with a custom throttle lever and it works so nice I very happy with what we have done,


cheers Pete

?









Does anyone know the tubing type and
wall thickness of the tubing that the
windshield?attaches to ? Also is there
any info on fabricating a wider entrance ? Thanks

I am currently remodeling a 1993 X-Air standard. I was wondering if anyone had a list of the bolt and nut sizes and their locations. It seems someone has worked on this aircraft and it is obvious that some bolts are the wrong size. I have the original assembly manual but sizes are not listed .Any help would be appreciated.

Bolt and nut sizes

 

I am currently remodeling a 1993 X-Air standard. I was wondering if anyone had a list of the bolt and nut sizes and their locations. It seems someone has worked on this aircraft and it is obvious that some bolts are the wrong size. I have the original assembly manual but sizes are not listed .Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Hi Bob, I'd be very wary of the SIMONINI engine after 50 hours. The pressed & splined crank does not bode well for the claimed 500 hour TBO In my experience. It's a pity because up until then we had no problems with the additional power and I would have liked to have stuck it to Rotax for their excessive pricing - but I guess reputation costs!?

Good morning all, It's been some time since I have posted, but I have kept up with everyone else's post, although recent posts appear to have been fewer in number than I'd like to see.
A friend recently assisted an H-model owner with some "quality control" repairs, and this particular kit had been built with a Simonini 95 horsepower engine. Neither of us has had any experience with this powerplant, even though a Hanuman with 95 horsepower out front sounds like fun. Has any one out there any direct experience with this motor, and.... any thoughts on what impact, if any, this engine might have on resale value, vs a similar quality H-model example with the Jabiru 2200?
Thanks in advance for any pearls of wisdom from the group,
Bob
