I did not want to comment first, but it looks a bit out!

I was just being sarcastic! No a Cheetah cannot do aerobatics!

The Cheetah is a nice touch I hope you gave those guys a run for there money!

Hi Learjet The cracks in the MT’s mast is due to poor design Chromalloy would have cracked as well a few hours later but would have cracked. They had cracks on the VPM’s in the UK at 1700 hours. My Magni cracked on the radiator bracket weld. Not as serious as the mast but the radiator could have go...

vhpy Hi Hurst, I will guess that Microland is the nearest place where you can get your training. ( 20 min by car from Wierda park. ) If not the nearest then at least the best. I am a 65 yr young old ballie..I got my licence last year and have done 130 incident free hrs since then.. puff puff Thanks...

No Problem, just don't do it to often! I am not sure how accurate the Octane in Africa is! I think 93 is in fact about 88 to 89 octane! Never flown a rattex on avgas!

Hey Len
If you ever get tierd of you gyro, you know who to phone !

Cheers guys, enjoy and be safe!

Why not a mechanical backup at least? Rattex weet jy, well my new aerie has got one in again, guess its my own fault then!

Oh and you can change all your frequencies on your spread sheet to 124.8 I doubt if any one will here you on 124,7 No hard feeling hope to meet you soon!

PM me I can give you all the info you need! Will even join with some flying along the coast or whatever! You better come visit in Swakop we can arrange that you park your trike in my hanger! Tsoabis runway is a no no! Actually does not exist any more!

Efis panels are FAR easier to install then steam gauges! FAR less wiring and with a little reading in the instrucions programing them is easier than you think!

Then Hang point is quite simple to figure out! It is usally over the passenger seat for the reason that there is always a pilot and engine on either side so you balance those two to be exactly the same to make the CG very close or not far aft! The passenger will then be seated right on the CG and wi...

Fantastic Project! Looks almost like the DTA! About the brakes, I would go for two disk brakes on the rear with some lekka fat tires!
Will you be welding the frame together and what is the estimated weight going to be?
