Hi Alex, Sorry to hear about your incident. For our learning, how strong was the cross wind? The handbook says up to 23 Kts but I have always had a personal limit lower than that. You are more experienced than me in tail draggers too! It would be valuable to adjust my personal limit from your exprience. Have you got the photos you were after? I will be visiting my Phoenix later this week if you still need them. Barry #21 in Australia

Drat! Oh well. Do you happen to know if your CFIG still instructs?
-
Nice! Do you happen to have contact info for him? I've seen his posts in this forum but I might have missed his contact info.

Sorry I just took mine out of service. Insurance was $8k a year. I had a great cfig also. Best in the Midwest. My apologies
-
Jim Lee in Minden is your man. He used to be the US importer for the Phoenix and is a great flight instructor.
-
Anyone know of any CFIGs with Phoenix experience, and/or Phoenix’s available for rental?

Does it make sense to replace the lower cowling instead?

I’ll bring this topic to the top of the list to share that I had a prop strike while landing in strong crosswind. I executed heavy breaking and can attest that at slow speeds the brakes/wheels will have enough power/traction to nose the aircraft over. I won’t go over landing technique as Jim Lee has a post in this forum that I can’t improve on but should be read annually. I’ll just add that the aircraft’s ability to counter weather-vaning in a cross wind largely depends on the weight/friction of the tailwheel especially at lower speeds where the rudder is of little effect. The more aggressively you brake, the less effective the steerable tailwheel will be. I have asked around and there are more data points on this than I knew about. I do have a favor to ask. I have to repair the lower cowling. Could you please take some pics of your beautiful undamaged lower cowls and send to me? Shots taken from below from the front and sides would be appreciated. My email is alexress99@yahoo.com Thank you!

Mountain Wave to FL224 in Australia
Alex Ress replied to Barry.h's topic in Phoenix S-LSA Motorglider
Thanks for sharing Barry. Nice editing work. -
Probably not that unusual for the American pilots, but I was very happy to recently get to over 22,000ft in my Phoenix over the Australian alps.

I know some of you US Rockies flyers are used to this, but I had some very successful wave flying recently over the Australian Alps. FL224!!

Hello, I have acquired a 1984 Vivat L-13 SW. Does anyone have inspection checklists in pdf for this aircraft? Thank you.

If the engine is not running a relay opens and cuts power to the nav/strob lights (and the 12v power outlet) Is there a way to bypass this so the lights can be tested on the ground without the engine running.

Jim, Just to be clear, these solid axles will have threaded ends to receive the wheel pant bolts for OEM size tires?
-
Can you please send me the blueprints/technical drawings of that rigging tool. I just bought a GROB G109B, without that rigging tool, so I would like to build one.
-
Hi Jim, Please sign me up for a set of axles as well. Thank you, Bruce
