PH-SEP #120519 made its maiden flight last week.
Great plane to fly, but have to get used to landing. Pretty sensitive controls and easy to over steer.
After 5 landings a lot better.
Few problems need to be solved :
The brand new Icom A210 radio( selected for 8.33 khz channels) does not squelch, also not when powered on the workbench.. It works well but the constant noise is annoying..anybody has a hint?
The test day was absolute zero wind and difficult to get the 12 down at full flaps and minimum power. I needed the brakes not to overshoot , but a bad nose wheel shimmy pops up. It disappears when the brakes are released.
The sideload adjustment is according to spec.
The discharge current on the skyview works as expected and conform consumption specs of the individual components.
However when the engine runs it shows no charge current, whilst the battery voltage increases during flight so it must charge.
Looking at our diagrams (upgrade version) the shunt should see charge and discharge but it does not for some reason. VAN's say this is normal but i do not see why. It look conforn to version A on page 35-7 of the Dynon manual which is the charge/discharge version..
What are your readinds like ?
Other than these little issues a great plane !!!
