Fetching new toy, Mission complete: GP -> KZN -> GP

Postby Rudix » Thu Sep 23, 2010 5:02 pm

Hi everyone,

Looks like I need to go and pick up a plane in KZN in about 2 weeks. I know I can fly commercial but thought it would be more fun to fly (preferably) or drive with a fellow aviator. I would be happy to cover all costs!

Anyone heading in that direction?

Thanks!
Fly safe,
Rudi

Hi Rudi.
Hi Rudi, KZN is quite a big place. Where? Anywhere near us? If so, pop in.

Hi Vernon!

Heading towards Howick, will be flying around a bit before heading home so I will try to pop in and say Hi, will let you know closer to the time. The weekend of the 9'th is the target at the moment and it looks like the "transport" down is sorted out (^^) .

Regards,
Rudi

Hi Rudi,

So hoe was jou eerste flip in die BB, het jy darem reg gekom met die landings?

Hi!

My eerste flip was regtig "interessant"....... Soos hulle sê "karakter boudend".....

Daar was net een landing, en dit was 'n nood landing :shock:

Maar dit was darem op die aanloopbaan. Die engin het krag verloor omtrent 2 minute na opstyg, die landing was wind af maar darem nie te erg nie. Ons dink dit was of vapor lock of 'n vuil filter, sal more weer probeer vhpy

Groete,
Rudi

Dankie! As ek nie more reg kom nie sal ek jou aanbod aanvaar!

Na die tyd het die engin goed geloop op die grond, in die lug het dit gevoel soos wanneer die engin nie brandstof kry nie. Die EGT's het ook die hoogte in geskiet en die engin wou nie oor so 3000 rpm gaan nie.

Die brandstof pomp en pype was baie na aan die engin, ons het dit geskuif. Die filter (enigste een) het redelik baie gemors in gehad, dit is skoon gemaak. Die BB het nie 'n "booster" pomp nie, ek reken dit sou gehelp het. Dit was te laat na die werk, ons het besluit om more weer te probeer.

Sal laat weet hoe dit gaan vhpy
