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 Sent from my Verizon Wireless 4G LTE smartphone

? Just buy 6mm stainless nylocs also get some stainless washers, when I built mine I replaced the whole lot from the start - no more rusty nuts ! get some 8mm ones as well for the larger bolts Seamus

I'm in the process of renewing some of the hardware on my recently acquired X-Air and was wondering if anyone has the spec of the nyloc nuts, used on the stabiliser/elevator? I presume they are standard 10mm ones, as can't see anything in the parts manual nor build manual? Cheers Darren Beaumont

? It is a piece of flattened tube with a 6mm hole in it. Looks like it is just pushed into the slot, normally we would drill the pod and fit a bolt or sometimes just a cable tie but you would see this from below. You should only need to just pull it out of the slot Seamus

I am currently removing my pod to gain access to change the part of the frame where the suspension is mounted. Most of the pod it is easy to see how it comes apart but there is one part I cant see properly so I'm not sure the best way to tackle it. In the tail section there are two thin ( non structural ) aluminium tubes which come down and join a lip on the rear of the pod under the tanks. I need to disconnect these from the pod. I can see a rivet but otherwise have no access and cant see what's on the other side of the lip. Is there some sort of fitting on the other side which needs to be dissembled or is the tube fitted over a bonded in spiggot and held with the rivet I can see? Do I just drill the rivet ?

The XAIR-X, is a very nice ULM. Only a maintenance and gasolina. Best Regards. Enviado desde Correo para Windows 10 De: taylorcraftbc65@...

Asunto: X-Air Ultralight Aircraft New member says HOWDY I just "pulled the trigger" on a deal for a 582 powered F model X-Air today. It will be several months before I travel up to the frozen lands in northern Indiana to bring it back to sunny Far West Texas, So I will use this time to learn what I can about a 582 powered X-Air. I'm guessing that it will fly, and "feel" like my 1940 Taylorcraft BC-65, but with a LOT better forward visibility, when on the ground. Right now, that's about all that I know. I'm glad to have been accepted as quickly as I was, and, one day, hope to be able to give advice, instead of just receive it as I will till I get some flight time in my new ship.

? As far as I know yes, you need to get your inspector to check with NMAI tech office Seamus

? Its 28.5mm or 1 1/8" Seamus

Anybody close enough to his/her X-Air Standard ( narrow-entry) to be able to measure the outside diameter of the cockpit front roll bar tube (or you may know it as the A-frame)? I want to replace my splitter cable choke arrangement with two separate choke levers but need to know the diameter of that tube so I can order choke lever assemblies that will clamp to it. Unfortunately my aircraft is hangared two hours away and I forgot to measure the tube last weekend. Thanks Bill 19-3229

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

Should be Saul cloth I fly..Therefore I am.

Can I fit a parachute to the Xair Hawk in Ireland?

No knowledge of the X-Air, but one wing cover on a C42 delaminated almost immediately after fitting, the other was fine. Mo. palmettoe@... [X-Air_Ultralight_Aircraft] wrote:

Well I did in the USA, good fit! Brand new, never flown, 32 grand, John

Hi Simon The fuselage has a flap behind the P2 seat as you will know. There are I understand that there are Hawks flying in France flying with BRS chutes. The thing to find out is are there any Hawks flying in Germany with chutes. There are two schools of thought about BRS, the first is that a good pilot does not need a BRS as training should provide the pilot to make a successful forced landing, rather like the Generals views of pilots and flying during the First World War. The second is that BRS is a step forward in safety and is now widely fitted and deployment has saved many lives. I think the odds on walking away unaided from a BRS forced landing are around the 99% mark were as a forced landing without a BRS the walk away figure is really slim. It must be noted that the C42, Skyranger and CT can carry BRS. Looks to me like the Hawk is behind in today's market!!! I am firmly of the opinion that the legislation 'industry' should really facilitate the fitting of BRS to all aircraft below the 600kg limit ASAP. Brian

Sorry i know nothing about these, sounds expensive when you mention 'Titanium' - Alan Daniels from Wingtech will know, he has made his living at making aircraft fabric for at least 20 years that i know of ! simon@...

Michael, many thanks for the advise. I'll just replace all the skins. Do you know anything about the OPEC skins with titaniumdioxide coating? regards, Simon

Wingtech do a great job in AU and have done about 10 sets already. CAA approved manufacturers so a known job with paperwork trail. If some fabric has failed the rest is on the way out and ready to go. they all follow each other.

I just replaced all the sails on my X-Ait standard and it was $2600 usd . It would be a whole lot cheaper to replace just what needed replacing. And yes we did use Maniasoft in Canada but we have not reinstalled them yet. It looks like a good job and he was easy to deal with. Nolton
