I will do a series on the Vansin as soon as I have my trike in the air with the new 1200 engine this required a new mount as the the old mount has small dimensional differences. The new mount was made in a jig welded and then stress relieved. THE MOUNT IS HEATED TILL IT LOOSES ITS MAGNETIC PROPERTIE...

ZimZulu The nice part is that this is not a kit, everything is from raw material every force going through the fabricated parts is properly stress analised. The harmonics of the fuel tank are such that they do not match the harmonics of the engine etc etc Ystervark is a meticulous engineer with real...

Over the weekend we tested the fuel flow of the other Safari #141 which is the sistership of Bosvark. The test we have done for this Safari is the in climb configuration fuel flow.

I dug through my foties and came onto the last photo of Carel and Jo-ie on a flight from Plett when I stopped in Stilbaai to show Carel that the Vansin was doing everything he designed it for and the build quality is superb. Carel had the saying " If you think it is good enough, it is not good enoug...
