X-Air Ultralight Aircraft Re: X-Air F (Falcon) reputation

Michael Coates All Messages By This Member #11702 开云体育 The 912 is by far the best engine for the F model.....?? The 80l tank is available BUT the UK rules may stop you using it.......? Best to check with your importer and CAA toggle quoted message Show quoted text -------- Original Message -------- ? I wouldn't say there is no enthusiasm for the X-air F. I have a 912 X-Air Falcon in the UK and am loving it. ? I? don't find anything wrong with the flaps but do find them unnecessary.? I might use them for landing in a tiny field but for landing at an aerodrome with a nice long runway I just don't need them. ? ? Otherwise the aircraft is very good, its safe, easy to fly, with a 912 it burns 13 to 16 litres an hour depending what I'm doing. ? I have just landed today after flying 4,? 2 hour flights over 48 hours including an overnight stop sleeping in a tent under the wing? Great fun :o) ? ? It would be nice to have something faster with more range but Im much happier with something safe and slow.? It could do with more fuel capacity. Does anyone know if? long range / additional tanks are available? ? ? ? Regards, ? ?

William #11703 开云体育 I have the hawk with the 912 and it trots along at 90mph burning between 10 to 12 ltr per hour and has good short field capability On 20 Apr 2015, at 17:09, Michael Coates mcoates@...
