Vee Rabbits turn 5 !

Postby ZULU1 » Wed Jan 04, 2012 2:52 pm

Happy New Year to all our customers !

In preparation for the Tedderfield "shoot out" I looked through my notes and it was in January 2007 that I completed the testing and development of the Vee Rabbit. That makes it 5 years old, it was back then a novel product and now its become the norm in the country. They have been seen in most corners of the world with many satisfied customers. It has been a pleasure making them and "making a difference" to safety in our sport.

Thank you to all for the feedback, ideas, support and also thoughts on new products that benefit the sport.

No changes to Vee rabbits for 2012, maybe the sticker.

See you at Tedderfield.

Fly safe

Must admit Paul...the V rabbit we got with DBP is amazing! Was chatting to guys in Springs whilst overhead Cullinan the other day...christal clear 5/5.

As soon as we've got enough in the "kitty" will be upgrading the "OTHERCOMM" system too, TS has allready sent me some prices. You really do know what customer service is all about. Look forward to some shopping at Tedderfield Sir 8)

Paul

It is one of the best inventions since the wing or sliced bread. Love my V-Rabbit. Speak to guys in Carltonville while over Harties. Awesome....just like all the other Air Magic goodies.

Thanks Paul for supplying us with all the stuff.

Hi Paul.

Congrats on the b-day. Since I installed the V and the chatterbox on the trike I have never looked back. All those years of swearing at intercoms and poor signal are in the past. What are you planning next, an affordable transponder perhaps?

Question for you. I would like to install a V on the bushbaby but cant decide how to or where to put it. Underneath the rocks will get it and on top the drag and the cover will get it.

Happy new year.

Thanks chaps. We have made a bracket "kit" V rabbit for three axis which has been fitted to Skyrangers (mainly the UK) X Airs etc. I will have a look at a Bush baby at our field and see what we can come up with.

Transponder, I have seriously looked at it and have sufficient experience to make them, the problem is the test equipment (s) capital costs. It will take a lifetime to recover. I did learn a lot with the Ballito project and will be posting a "experience guide" on fitting, installing and a guide to rf ingress reduction in radios and other microlight installations in due course. The chatterbox series has all the rf beads and toys to perform perfectly with these devices which we were aware of when they were designed. Rainier I think is busy with a device at present, it would be foolish to compete with each other also.

New toys, well I have been struggling to find time to conclude our wing strobes and these will be ready for Tedderfield. We think a first for trikes, a led position light and a xenon strobe in a 35 mm housing. The LED front light has been a very good unit which strangely enough (and probably my fault) the Cape is not aware of these toys..Our Condor helmet "one size fits all" has been very successful and we will only make others to order now as its so comfortable.

I will post pics of the wing strobes this weekend after I test fly them.

Cheers Paul

Sometimes I dont like my Vee Rabbit.

It interrupts my music when I have to hear circuit training in Middelburg 130 km away and yesterday listening to Carltonville/ Klerksdorp traffic over 200 km away. :P

Congrats Zulu!
The best antenna I could have installed for my trike. Combined with the headsets and intercom I have crystal clear comms on both the bushbaby and the trike.
What new gadgets can we expect this year?
