New Wash bay & Service centre

ianf · Postby **ianf** » Wed Mar 27, 2013 9:04 am

Hi all
I'm Thinking of opening a wash bay & service cent re ,at my place. Close to Rhino park airfield .

Work will be done mainly on Trikes & Rota x two stroke engines . Annual inspections can be done as well
The wash bay will be open Mon / Sat , for any plane that is able to land on my runway 450*15 m gravel. Coffee will be on the house

I need to know if any body will be interested in using such a facility .

However ,I can promise you the pricing will be very very good

Thanks Ant . Nico dit is waar , ek het n produk wat ek nou al vir n paar jaar toets . Iets wat jy op die vlerk spuit na jy hom gewas het ,dit trek so bietjie meer stof vir die eerste ruk maar verleng die materiaal se leeftyd defnetief.
Ek het dit ook op windkouse getoets wat heeldag in die son hang , dit verbleik wel maar hou baie langer .Jy weet n windkous hou net n jaar dan is hy klaar met die lewe .
En ek het n baie goeie seep wat ordentlik skoon maak. Anthony kan getuig van daai 1.

Ian, hoe vinnig sal jy kan was? As ek 'n low level flypass doen sal jy kan was en droog?

Hi Ant , sal jou laat weet ek is net besig om die die plek in te rig vir die wash bay. Amper reg .
A fly pass can be arranged , Jou just need to fly trough the sprayers . The wind can do the drying

Nice idea ..... BUT! ......

To be perfectly honest, I wouldn't use the service, because when I do wash my aerie, which isn't too often, I like to use the wash time to properly check the structure. Call it airframe bonding time if you will.

I would however gladly pitch up for the coffee.
