Beaver RX 550 for sale - R47000- SOLD
I'm going to sell my beloved Beaver. After I've finished building my Raven, this aircraft is parked in the back of the hangar and hardly used. I'm flying with the Raven now and I don't actually want to sell this aircraft, but there might be someone else who will fly it more. I've bought this Beaver ...

Re: Manie se Raven
This aerie is still going and I now have a 112 hours on it. A constant speed propeller was fitted at 48 hours and it made a huge difference to the aircraft's performance. This is a very fun aircraft to fly and the handling is absolutely superb. When cruising at 6500ft at 24inch MAP and the prop set ...

Re: First passenger
I took my first non pilot passenger up when I had my license for 20 hrs. As a rule when I take someone up in the air that has never ever flown before, I will give them a proper briefing as to what they will experience from the moment I apply power for taking off up to the moment we will land. Someti...

Re: Manie se Raven
Had a 1.6hr flight this morning. Flown at 75% power (5000rpm) for the whole flight and fuel consumption worked out at 15.5lph over the 1.6hr flight. This includes 3 take offs and landings. Distance flown was 169 miles which give me an average of 105,6mph.

Re: Manie se Raven
Just for an update on the flying. So far I've done 18,2 hrs on the aerie. All in all the aerie is great. After a few hours I've realized that my indicated airspeed is showing way more than it's suppose to. Did some GPS tests on a cool day with no wind. Indicated found to be over reading by 16mph. Ob...

Re: Manie se Raven
So far I had three short test flights in the aerie. Still have some issues with slight vibrations. Cowling was catching at the bottom of silencer and also where the tail pipe curved out of the silencer. When speeds of excess of a 95mph is reached the vibration starts. At that speeds the bottom of th...

Re: Manie se Raven
Finally looked like the first good day for test flying with the available test pilot. Got to the airport at 06h00, but suddenly the fog came rolling in :? :? . After checking airplane again, wait and wait and wait for the fog to lift. Fog lifted enough to do a couple of runs on runway and just lifti...

Re: Manie se Raven
Nee Goose... Eers wag ons vir die papiere. Toe dit kom toe wag ons vir test pilot en toe die test pilot beskikbaar is toe knip Mother Weather haar oë en sê: Wag jul nou eers 'n bietjie, dis nou my beurt!

Re: Manie se Raven
Dankie Justin. Ja die Zodiac wat ek mee gevlieg het het lekker gecruise teen 125mph, maar sodra jy vinniger gegaan het, het jy gevoel die drag raak baie vinniger meer en cruise die aerie nie meer gemaklik nie. En jou aerie is mos wit.... It's just a blank piece of canvas in need of some art. :wink: ...
