Looking at whats available in the states, wow.Got hold of Jeff, the importer, sent me 5 page expl on shipping and taxes etc.Who has done this before, can i ad say R50 000 to a/c cost to get it here!.Engin costs in SA, feel like importing a jallopy, keep engin and throw away rest.Kitfox 4 kit for 750...

Thanx you all, i am ok now, all depends on what you fly, money etc.Will stick to analog in ASI,ALT,VSI, TURN/SLIP, with some electronics thrown in with it.

Thanks guys, that nice to know.If i go that route, i will def get it powder coated.

Its been said to stay away from the jab taildragger, bites you very fast.
I would like to fly a taildragger, still looking around.Is the jab taildrg a bad call?

I understand that the bushbaby frame is not out of chromemolly, how strong is it, what is it made of , pro,s and cons etc

Thanx you all, i agree, will have basic airspeed , alt and turn/slip, the rest Analog.Had many hours of fun in a trike, agree, it is seat of the pants flying, but i am a 3 axis dude now, needs are slightly different now, looking at a tin eerie now.

I like the traditional horlosies infront of me, but open for opinion.Understand the EFIS/ANALOG can be cheaper.How good are they, userfrendly,prices,reliability etc.I am building up data, planing to build aircraft soon.
Thanx

Hi Just wondering, well known brands like Kitfox, Titan, Sonex, Savannah etc,will its value be cuppled to the dollar. I don't say it might be a investment, but every year the price of any kit seems to jump with 15k +. Just as you think its within your reach, somebodyxxx somewhere AGAIN, powersharing...

Thanks for the offer. I flew many moons ago trike.Interrested now in three axis only.

Thanks Steve, i will give you a call when back

Must be tipical SA. Sitting in a differet country, doing research on what to buy when back, but do you think the agents respond, no ways, i dont think they want to do buisness, so unproffesional.A website also says allot on your product and level of proffesionalism. Every e mail to the states i send...
