Re: Building the new Bushbaby SAFARI

Hi Oupa. Saw you circling the PC12 over Bellville on Saturday Morning. Wow what a lovely sight to see that graceful plane circling tightly at low level. Thanks for the show :)

Re: Scratch build a Trike

There are always better engineering solutions for a problem and its very gratifying to see pure engineering principles being applied. Makes me want to go back to university to lea...

Re: Building the new Bushbaby SAFARI

LOL! Pun is funny none the less! vhpy I guessed that the plastic Caps would be inclined to bind - so the tool will be very handy. Good to hear you met my boet again. He will be very interested to try OTT out when the time is right. I am actually very proud of him for safely handling the emergency la...

Re: Waiex Project

Thanks for the info Larry Also dont know what happened to the Zim plane. I know the CAA were very sticky about letting it fly here in SA. That Sonex (conventional tail) had a trim-tab on the elevator (like a Cessna does) , but the bowden cable and mechanism in the cockpit was a bit dodgy. I presume ...

He was housing a Zim registered Sonex with a J3300 motor which was for sale at the time and did about 6.5 hours in it. At that stage he was actually very impressed with it saying that it pe...

Re: Building the new Bushbaby SAFARI

Hi Oupa - Thats a nice looking tool! My only concern would be that it gives one the opportunity to overtighten the fuel cap - and possibly damage it.(I know you wont - but someone who is less technically inclined may do so) I suggest that you make the handle as short as possible to limit the moment ...

Welcome Diesel dog! thanks for sharing the initial progress on jour project (^^) . It sounds like you are in the process of finalising a deal with the French Co.
