Has anyone tried putting a 912uls (100hp) rotax on a hanuman? I've got the possibility of acquiring a nice one, but I didn't know if anyone had used the 100hp 912 or only the 80hp. -- With regards, Michael Coates AU +61 7 5522 0583 PIPISTREL AIRCRAFT DEALER OF THE YEAR 2012 Winner of the EAA August Raspet Award 2012 PIPISTREL AIRCRAFT DEALER OF THE YEAR 2017 mailto:mcoates@...

Michael, I have just bought a Hanuman from Ian Hampel to go with my X Air standard. Are there any others in SA that you know of?

开云体育Hello Clive, there are a few out there I think in Goolwa,? everybody is just out there flying and I don't get much contact with them anymore unless they need parts. Hopefully they are on the group and can answer backClive Cunningham wrote on 6/03/2024

开云体育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. anavallemat@... wrote on

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.

Hello Greg and others. I did 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 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 beside the main fuselage tube.

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.

Thank you all for your information, we did the calculation and it can work. If it was already developed, we can buy it because 2T it is not an option anymore. It is an engine of the past, but X-air it is still an aircraft for the present. Of course it is needed to update, one of it the engine.
For sure not better performance because aerodinamic it is like it is, but consume and engine reliability. We saw some pictures about, but if i understand right, it was never in production, right? Other question, Randkar from france is it not working anymore?, also most of dealers of Xair disapear. Also in uk, Irland or India?? Thank you all for your quick response |
开云体育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. regards, Jonathan Jonathan Webb On 15/05/2024 07:35, anavallemat via

开云体育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.? Fair weather to all.? Regards, Nils On 15 May 2024, at 17:32, Jonathan Webb <avia1or01@...> wrote:
