Re: SsangYong Lexus V8 conversion...

Rudi my friend, Why does someone like you bother with the type of aircraft you fly. I fly them because thats all I can afford to fly at the few times I can afford it at all. Man, you are so far outside my league Im amazed you even talk to me... Dont you yearn for something more sophisticated? I sho...

Re: SsangYong Lexus V8 conversion...

Hi Rudix, Someone at work took me for a short spin in his. It had twin turbos. Ive never been in anything that accelerates so quickly, so I know how you feel. I am really happy for you my friend. Sorry, I stand to be corrected. He had the X6. Dunno if they share the same engine... Keep well, Henni ...

Re: Rotax 532 powered KR2

Hi Henni, Glad you have the wheels sorted, now time to get her going! I think the trim tab is really useful, makes flying the planes with a sensitive elevator easy. Both mine have electric trim tabs, you might consider one based on a model aircraft servo (heavy duty), I have seen plans in the intern...

Re: SsangYong Lexus V8 conversion...

I prefer diesels. ( operational requirements, and grew up with diesels :wink: ) But I must agree, the change from a inline 6 to a V8 ( still diesel) seriously affect the way you pull away at a stop street or robot. :lol: ) It just happens !! 8) The installation looks nice and clean - enjoy. That Ss...

Re: SsangYong Lexus V8 conversion...

Hi Rudix, Shes old and worn, but now at least shes willing. Today was her first long drive and that with a one tonne trailer behind. Went like a breeze. All in all I am very happy with the conversion. All the best my friend, Henni Hi Henni! Sounds like a winner! Now I am wondering if my Pajero coul...

Re: SsangYong Lexus V8 conversion...

Hi Jean, It seems to be exactly the same. I got around 550km out of 60 litres with the diesel. I seem to be getting the same with the Lexus. Keep in mind that this is at much better speed. The diesel fell back to 80 kmh on many uphils, the Lexus does not even so much as flinch ... I've filled up tw...

Hi HENRY Ek is nou in dieselfde situasie as jy. Verskil is ek het n Volksplane VP1 wat gevlieg het met die volkswagen enjin - Maar ook maar net. Maks 50 pk by seevlak. Ek het die enjin uitgehaal en vervang dit ook nou met n Rotax 582 enjin. VW 1835 big bore enjin = 67 kg met alles - sonder die prop...

Re: Rotax 532 powered KR2

Hi Henni!

Bly jy gaan nie kanse vat nie! Jy sal wel die regte engin kry!

Jy moet so gou as moontlik die papierwerk begin, dit kan omtrent 'n pyn wees.... As jy sukkel moet jy laat weet, dalk kan ek help, ken een of 2 mense :wink:

Het jy al die instrumente wat jy nodig het?

Groete,
Rudi

Re: Rotax 532 powered KR2

Hi Rudix, Wat ek wil weet is hoe die VWs met twee aan boord vlieg want dit is hoe dit die meeste van die tyd hier bo by die Hoeveld gaan wees vir my. Groete, Henni Hi Henni, Ek dink 'n standaard 2.1 of 2.3 gaan sukkel, VYZ se 2.6 met groot turbo maak baie meer as 100hp (Met baie boost meer as 130) ...

Re: Rotax 532 powered KR2

Ek moet sê ek het nog nooit gevoel een van die KR's is te swaar nie, maar hulle het altwee baie krag so dit help. VYZ vlieg maklik vanaf Rhino se 850m en gebruik nie veel meers as so 400-600m nie. Ek land haar teen so 65mph dan float sy nie te erg nie. CGR se prop was te grof (54x56) so sonder die t...
