You asked about the gear I have about four prototypes that I did not mention on my site before the final sexy gear you can possibly have a look it may fit your plane.

I'm back on line I have been reporting on everything and meanwhile I was test flying and CAA gave me their piece of up hill that is all over now. The Bosvark with all its mods is successful and flying really well. Regarding the gear I did it it is nice and strong it has done about 500 landings now b...

Eventually I am back on line ZU-OTT has all the papers.I kept quiet because I did not want to answer funny questions. I had my ups and downs with the paperwork, but I must say in the end I persuaded the CAA that I was the right test pilot and it was all observed by the CAA and the 3.5 G was pulled. ...

Go for it you will be rewarded with an honest and easy to fly bird.

Thanks Jean
Just back from Lesotho my son Vliegvark was competing in the Roof and Oupa-G and Ystervark were ground-crew what a beautiful country. I went for a rest and came back tired. But a nice sort of tired.

Now for a bath and sleep

Here is some good news . The sister ship of ZU-OTT is now ZU-HOG they are both Safari's actually Ser # 142 and 141 and ZU-HOG received its Proving Flight Authorization. HOG will overtake OTT with the paperwork because ZU-OTT is still struggling with the engineering departement that insists a CAA Tes...

I am now really enjoying this little aircraft. By tweaking with the flaperons and the tail feathers she is becoming faster. I always remember that my J3Cub was flying at its best when the wing-tip and the horizon were parallel, the Safari is the same. I will get the same settings write them down and...

As promised I will now let the test flight data flowing. This evening it was stunning and I could just not resist the temptation for a quick flight. I had a small problem with the internal clock of the MGL unit, it was quickly sorted out by Rainier. It is very handy that they are in Somerset West. T...

Sorry guys for being so silent. I have now set up one of my old laptops with which I can shrink photos and then post it straight onto the net. Now I can again post more easily . The first news is the Bosvark OTT is just superb, now has 87hrs on it and all the mods to the flywheel and the clutch moun...

In Omaruru had a wonderfull trip along the Kunene missed all the weather in SA. Should be back at the weekend. Going to re program my friends MGL here in Omaruru.

Today Donald flew the Lycoming it is humming did some more fine tuning especially on the lower power settings where she was running to rich. Donald is more relaxed I did give him some serious dry mouth episodes where the engine was running to lean and backfiring , not really confidence building sort...

The PT 6 does keep on running even in heavy rain there is a seperator that we use and also the igniters are put on water and flames are not a good combination. O the Lycoming tuning front we have changed the temperature pickup from the eBoxi to the cylinder head and not the oil anymore. In the BMW i...

Just a post. Time is really something I am short of. So many things are in my head and not enough time.Ian thanks for the comment. The problem I cannot just write I also need the comments so that I do not bore the readers. I'm of tonight to George the weather is not so lekker and here are the METARS...

It has been a long time of no news but it does not mean we have not been busy. Every time I get to Morning Star I get reprimanded by Mike (Mic) and Ian. Mike built his own own Bushbaby and Ian has just replaced his h h h h h Hirth with a 80 horse Rotax and he is smiling. The Hirth gave Ian some seri...

properly back in the saddle. Tuned the Lycoming of Donald. It was a team effort Ystervark and myself we scratched our heads and finally got to figures to make the Lyc humm cold start hot start wait ten minutes and start then did the throttle snatch test and then the full power tests. The air was hum...
