New runway for Xenon

[PTKay]

Heavy work under way to prepare
a landing spot for Xenon in my backyard...

Sowing grass, waiting for rain...

Good luck with your runway.

The Xenon factory is working full out with lots of orders now.

Two more gyros came out of the factory and flew this week. One is headed to Germany and the other is bound for the US.

Where's Mine ?

This may cause RAF to change its design. The Xenon has the finished look of a Manufactured gyro and still has the appeal of a low machine. All with a closed cabin.
Rob , keep us posted of the US aircraft.

Hi Mark

I see you got a go in my Xenon ( white one with the red strip) What did you think?

Shay,
Thanks for being understanding enough to allow your machine to stay there a week or so longer just so this country bumkin could get his butt in one of these machines, Ps i hope you got it by now
Shay, i loved it it performs very well with the 100 hp motor, as a comparision, it was about 100-200 rpms lower to do the same airspeed with my single and it is slippery in the air, so i cant wait to get my turbo one,,

[shaybrennan]

Well Mark you are welcome. It arrived last week. It will take about three weeks to get the Permit to Fly.
Mark did you get the 912(80hp) or the 914 Turbo fitted?
Shay

No Shay, i went for the 122hp one with the turbo, mainly only because of the heat over here where i am.

[shaybrennan]

Mark that means you got a 912 (80hp) with a mitsubishi turbo. This brings the horse power up to 120hp. but you are in turbo all the time.
It will not work on the 912s

Mark,

excellent web page.
It is especially nice to me
to see you use the Zenon name.

My fathers first name was Zenon, it makes me even more
attached to this machine...

In the night wild boars came and ruined all our work.

We are now mending fences (in the direct meaning )
and looking for some solutions to scare them away in the future.

I am really mad.

The local Hunting Club covered the damage,
but it's really disturbing.

PTKay,
My trip over to Poland was, to put it mildly, a bit rushed, i would have liked to try to catch up with you whilst i was there, maybe next year, when we all come back for a get together..That for your kind words about my site, still a work in progress, very interesting this designing and setting one these things up, man the scripts ect that go behind the scenes are scarey to say the least.
Shay, aparently not, i was talk to Raphael on this subject and there was a reason why he couldnt use the 912s, but i can not recall it now..
