Boet, ek weet dit is baie frustreerend. Maar eendag sal jy dit ook besef. Baie ouens sukkel om die maklike dinge in die lewe te verstaan, en die goeie dinge in die lewe te waardeer. Jy kan n perd na die water lei, maar drink moet hy self.
Daar sit nou n ou met n mooi Bushbaby met die mooiste enjin wat geld kan koop, en hy wonder wat n lekker aerrie is. Pleks hy net met die ding speel, en die ander ouens jaloers maak.

Ek weet wat is lekka en ek speel baie. Ek het baie gooie idea wat die situasie is (ek het dan die aerie laat bou ) maar wil net weet wie se wat en hoekom....

As dit MY errie was, sou hy vir bleddie lank MY errie BLY!

Ek sal jou ruil vir 2 582 BB's en n fronteer (sp?) airframe complete en miskien n paar 100l fuel....

Awesome nostalgia and if it were my only plane I would def keep it, but I don't do much bush flying for which this is PERFECT. Was supposed to be partnership. Circumstances eish and now I simply can not afford it . I have to sell 2 of the 3 toys (RV6, RV4, Animal) and unfortunately the 400nm I do every week is just too dam far even if the 1-3-5-7-2-4-6- is music to my ears.... I have done a couple site visits in it now and the actual fly time is more than double that in the RV, especially in wind.... SADLY Just does not fit my mission profile... Fly time vs time with family. Tough choice

THAT SAID..... I am dying to get some BABOON tyres from USA to land on a mountain like in the vid's Nothing beats a quick 20mins which always becomes 45mins at sunset going nowhere fast with doors open, wind in your hair, oil on your cheek an dodd bug bouncing off your teeth BLISS

Harties hangar is not going to materialise. I think I may be able to squeeze it into a boathouse, then things may change again . Boet can I fold wings solo and taxi Animal 1km with the wings folded (wonder if I can fit indicator lights and a hooter )

[Boet]

No. Not a good idea. Engine will not run with the wing folded back. And lest I forget: DO NOT FOLD THE WINGS BACK WITH THE TANKS FULL!!!!!! You will ruin the fabric!!!!!!

[John Waterson]

This is the one that I would buy!

Hi All,

Have just done an excercise such as John suggested, just stuck to basic figures and left impressions out of it.

It is in excel format and might surprise a few people.

There are blanks for missing info, maybe those who know the answers can fill them in.

Kind regards,

Gunter Rostek.

can i fly a RV 4 on my LSA licence ,because that looks good.

[RV4ker (RIP)]

can i fly a RV 4 on my LSA licence ,because that looks good.

Nope. Only RV12. Others are waaaay too fast...

[zucac]

then what is the max speed for LSA lisence

[RV4ker (RIP)]

150kts, but I think it at the stall speed side that there would be problems...

Could go for RV4 with 135hp engine and it would go maybe 140kts, but stall is over the 45kt limit.... IIRC
