Dono I have one on a Safari Trike. Refer to this post, I included some pictures of it: http://www.microlighters.co.za/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=10602 As far as I know, its the only one on a trike in SA. The previous agent imported two, my understanding is that the other is on a three axis, possibly a Che...

Gompou Om 'n Trike vinniger te laat vlieg, het jy basies 3 opsies: 1. Jy kan die aan die Trapeze bar trek om die "angle of attack" van die vlerk te verander. Ek het 'n ou geken wat 'n bungy rek om sy rug gebruik het en dit aan die bar gehaak het om te "help trek". Hy is in 'n vliegongeluk oorlede, e...

Justin, Kingfisher and Gaz To answer your questions: I fitted the engine in mid 2007, and have since then done just short of 50 hours on it. No problems with it to date. I have not needed to buy any spares or parts for it, apart from a few pieces of exhaust pipe (flanges, bends and straight sections...

Hola Senor Mexicano I have a Verner fitted to my Safari. Good engine option if you can get it for the right price. If you are in Mexico, contact Arthur Thompson (http://www.flydiver.com), he is the agent in Washington state in the USA, and should be able to assist in Mexico as well. I have the only ...

Guys If you have not gone through the process yet, you have only three options left: 1. Hope for an extension. It is said that for only around 50% of the firearms on register have new licenses been applied for. A number of experts I spoke to do not want to speculate, but generally expect some sort o...

Rod If you installed a fuel primer bulb, please put a bypass line over it as well (two t-pieces installed in the fuel line; before and after the bulb and a section of hose to bypass it). It may sound crazy but it still works fine with the bypass. I have had an engine out due to fuel starvation becau...

Gert Does this include the replacement of the rocket? The manufacturers of GRS and BRS have somewhat different views on the repacking and rocket replacement schedules. BRS recommend repacking the shute every 6 years, and replacing the rocket every 2nd repack, thus every 12 years. GRS specify a repac...

Gert Interesting discussion you started here. I have also only seen reference made to the spring loaded type of parachutes, but do not know if they are still being made, or if they ar available locally. The rocket propelled types seem to be more commonly available, and at least two brands, the US ma...

Guys Some of you asked how much trouble is involved in getting the paperwork sorted out, and if the CAA use this as an opportunity to go on an overseas trip to "inspect" the manufacturer's facility. Here is a summary of my experience in getting an ATF issued for the Verner installation: - After comp...

Allan It has always astounded me that there are so few alternatives in SA. I spent some time in the USA, and while Rotax dominates there as well, those guys fly with all sorts of engines, including some real junk! I have always wanted a 4 stroke engine and started seriously investigating the options...

This is in response to Leprechaun asking about the Verner. I have it, and it is fitted onto my Safari. See attached pictures. I fitted it in May, did a number of test runs on it and got a proving ATF for 20 hrs in July. I have since flown the required 20 hrs, and there is nothing to report. It runs ...

Guys I once got hold of a few cans of spray paint called SPEREX. It is made in the UK, and it really lasted with no discoloration. (Available in Silver and in Black) I have been trying to get hold of more of it, but have not seen it for sale for a few years now. Super stuff if you can get hold of it...

Arnulf I agree with Demon, punch a hole in it and use snips to cut the domed end of. The side that screws onto the engine is much thicker material and more difficult to cut. Don't saw it. Be extremely careful, it tends to be very slippery, and those edges are razor sharp. When you first remove the z...

Demon Tedderfield is just of (South) of the R550 (Grasmere Road) between the R82 (Golden Highway) and the N1. If you take the N1 South out of Jhb, take the R550 Grasmere turn of to the left just before the Grasmere Toll Plaza, and it is on your right a few Kms further. If you take the M1 out of the ...

Go with 2 Morph.

Underneath of fuselage and wings in red. Looks great and is visible from below and above.

How about checkered wing tips to match the rudder?
