Re: TOYOTA YARIS ENGINE

There's no turbo on this one, so it's also then only 69hp? What is the efficiency of this motor with the belt drive? Do they have statistics on the performance? Just think: Moerlandspan's ToyoBaby....

Re: Justin's Raven

JôJôJô!! Ai man, that's not the thing one wants to see. But you have two excuses now; rebuild the engine and you know it's new or buy another brand..... (**) (**) (**) .

Re: Crop Sprayers

The last thing you want to do when you are flying at 130kts 10ft above the ground scanning the area in front of you for powerlines, big birds ( cranes, spurwing goose, ducks etc ) uneven terrain and ...

Re: Reducing engine noise

Yep, just check out Richard's Bush Baby with the 582 at Morningstar. The prop on that aerie is just unbelievable. That 582 is dead quiet in the air with that prop. A two blade wooden prop on a 503 is much louder than a 3 blade composite.

Interessting A22 Foxbat

Saw this A22 Foxbat in an overseas aviation magazine. It has CAPE TOWN written all over the float, but a N register number. Maybe it's on it's way to a local touring operator or there's a place in USA that's also named Cape Town. Looks like it have landing gear for landing on land also. Wonder how t...

Have just contributed R200. Will give R50 each month very happily. Have learned a lot, laughed a lot, cried a lot and met a lot of new friends on and from this forum. Better entertainment than EsEiBeeSee-ons-wil-hê-jy-moet-ons-net-geld-gee.
