Hello from DownUnder - (on the other side of the southern hemisphere) Nice to see a company (Part) owner willing to get his hands dirty and know what he (or she) is talking about, I'm guessing your background is engineering / mechanic's. I've only just discovered your aircraft courtesy of your interview with Brian - "Experimental Aircraft channel" recently in the US, prompted me to reach out and contact your Australian rep; Brock up in sunny Queensland, nice guy very easy to talk with, most impressive what you & your people are producing. Your Safari XL looks like it ticks most boxes for my envisaged mission, with the long anticipated but hopefully soon passing of the "Class G" weight category here in Australia (some similarities to MOSAIC in the US) including increasing the 600kg limit to 760Kg (here in Australia) . Applicable for some existing GA aircraft and many experimental amateur built (kits) class of aircraft , it seems to me the Safari XL would fit this category nicely, Well done. I Would love to know your thoughts on hanging a UL Power 350is (80kg) or ideally a UL power 390is (100kg) on the nose of the Safari XL? Cheers Glenn, DownUnder.

Thank you for your comments. I don't see an issue with the UL350 engine as such, I have done a number of hours in a UL260 fitted to an Explorer and the engine performed as expected for a direct drive engine. However the Rotax engine outperforms a direct drive engine hands down every time. You also don't have issues like shock cooling on the water cooled engine. So from a performance and bush flying perspective I would stick to a Rotax. We have installed Jabiru 3300 engines in the older model Safari's and they worked well if you want an average aircraft. I can say with a reasonable amount of certainty that the UL350 will not have the power required to make use of the capabilities of the aircraft.

All good valid points, thank you for your response, looking forward to more of your construction/build video's. Cheers . Glenn DownUnder.@@kfaaircraftandadventures
