Hangared at Blackbushe, the first of 2 flying Safari's in the UK. Flight tested by Dan Griffiths the LAA Chief test pilot, & flown by Francis Donaldson as part of the linked LAA magazine article.The Airframe has approx 75 hrs since new, the Rotax 912 ULS engine has approx 720hrs since new, transferred from a Sportcruiser by Graham (previous logs included) . It has just been serviced( inc Gearbox and 200 hour service) by SAS aviation and Ventura Aviation , both Rotax specialists. The VZ turbo has been tweaked with a new spring and new exhaust system. All hydraulic lines have been replaced and serviced by The Midland Aircraft Company.The flight deck has a new Trig TY91 comms panel and transponder, Uvionix AV30 glass instrumentation,Skydemon iPad mount and USB along with an MGL SP-7 ADRHS system which links to the MGL Challenger onboard to provide accurate avionics. The RDAC box which is MGL's link to all the sensor systems has also been completely replaced by Ventura.The Ivoprop is in flight adjustable via a Flyzone prop controller. The Aircraft currently uses a Skyecho for ADSB but an application to use the MGL ADSB output is currently with the LAA. (This is certified everywhere else in the world and much more accurate than Skyecho).
