As ek 9 uur die aand nog in die teater staan om gesigte te werk dan is my energie te min om nog in die werkswinkel te verdwyn maar daar word ten spyte gewoel kon net gisteraand nie my kamera kry nie die hang toe op sy plek. Sal weer begin skryf

Wonderfull idea the audio call can be in numbers the gauge must be round and a needle where 0 is on the ground. If it is digital your brain has to do a conversion first and then paint the picture in your brain.

Keep playing

Got the painted engine mount back for the trike. The painting was done by Keith, 2K pack we do not like to have them powder coated because it can hide cracks.

I fitted the rubbers black at the bottom and softer blue at the top. When I fly I will let you know if it is a good idea.

More then 180-000 hits. I have again been rapped over the knuckles for not writing and showing new things, however I have had complicated work with lots of thinking and long hours operating. Then I feel I'm not a youngster anymore. Then last week-end I flew Red X and was held in a hold because CT ru...

This afternoon it was pumping about 20kts down the runway after refueling I could not resist the temptation OTT is so responsive that gusty winds are no problem. I have to check if the reflexes are still up to scratch. Also did some work on my new engine for my Trike I'm replacing the 1100 with the ...

I'm enjoying OTT she is due for some regular oil change filter change etc. The engine mount is in the way of the oil filter removal tool. I prepared a socket with three spikes on them this is tapped in the filter housing and the filter comes of no problem. Just a bit of useless information. Cheers O...

I had lots of fun flying the Bosvark Sunday morning Boet arrived and I put him in the left seat of the OTT and the picture says the rest. On Friday night I flew for RedX to George. The wind was southerly the dew point and temp split was not very far apart and the typical condition of drizzle rain wh...

You cannot compare the old 1000cc BMW to the latest 1200 GS enjin the only likeness is that they have two cylinders horizontally opposed. I would not spend energy on the old enjin.

K FA thanks for the response the molds I have made will interlock the two materials I am going to make them different colours and then it will be easier to understand I will play with the various hardnesses. my present mounts show signs of compression with my interlocking method I hope to prevent th...

Have received some SMS's where I am and it is so quiet. Well I escaped for a few days because I also need some rest sometimes. How ever my brain is in full speed thinking as I'm busy with the new engine mount for the BMW 1200 for my and Ystervark's trike. I have been pointed in the direction of a co...
