Zu-DSR's Engine problems (was ZU-DSR first engen out)

[Bennie Vorster]

Motor back in the Bush Baby, and did a quick highspeed run with it this afternoon. Wind was bit crappy but the motor seems to be fixed up and willing. Running at 50% lower temprutare than before.

Won't be flying it this weekend but will defanatly take it to the air early next week. Watsh this space.

Yip Motor sold, down grading to 582.

Received all spares needed yesterday and will start asembling soon.

Sterkte Bennie,

Miskien sal jy nou meer kan vlieg as om voor die komper te sit ens van jou "experiences" te vertel.

Ek ,en ek dink almal op die Forum ,will jou graag in die lug he.

Groete uit Dubai,

[Bennie Vorster]

I'll try my best but I still have some way to go.

[Quentin Ferreira]

Shoe Bennie nog ver!!!!
Ek dink jy moet maar hangar toe trek moet al daai werk....
Moet maar trike vlieg!!
En wie is die test pilot as jy alles terug gesit het???

[Boet]

:D Benna, jy is verkeerd. Van n Volla af "downgrade" jy nie na n 582 toe nie.......dis n MAJOR upgrade van daai stuk kak af!!

[grostek]

Bennie Luister na Boet, hy het amper meer as jy met vollas gesukkel

[Boet]

Gunther, Jy is reg. Ek het my al so half moertoe gesukkel met n PAAR van die goed. Bennie sukkel met net 1. Ek sit net 912 of 582 Rattex`e in. Jaaaaa, OK, ek weet die goed is duur, maar so is jou gat. Die heel laaste plek in jou errie om te economize, is juis met die enjin. Help jou NIKS om n show-stopper te he, en dan het hy n onbetroubare, olie-lekkende kort-kort-vrekkende stuk-stront wat jy ingesit het om jou geld te SPAAR????? Jy gaan dit in elk geval uithaal en n Rotax koop. As jy by voltooiing van jou errie nie geld het vir n enjin nie, laat die errie n rukkie staan, tot jy geld het om n ordentlike enjin te koop. Anders gaan jy dubbeld koop.....en dubbeld betaal. My bak is vol geskep met VW moeilikhede. Stel REGTIG nie meer belang nie.

[Boet]

No names, no pack-drills. A certain supplier of belt reduction VW engines promised how he would go head-to-head with Rotax in supplying equally powerfull and reliable aircraft engines. I personally warned said expert that he must be VERY carefull, for if he screws up, people are going to get hurt. He has screwed up so many times, I now do not trust the VW engines he supplies, as far as I can THROW them.

Give me a supplier of RELIABLE Volksie engines :D , and I will use them again. :D Someone not constantly telling me half-truths and blatant lies. ....and when I phone with a problem, tells me I can "TRY" this or that. NOT on.

At last I have all spares needed and the new 582 motor to install in my BB. The only trick now is to find or make a way for the radiator and the exhaust to fit into the installation coz the steerable nose wheel keeps been in the way. Installation cost so far sits between 76 and 80k. Big thank you to Boet and Monty for their assistance so far, makes life a lot easier.

Bennie,

The radiator can be suspended underneath the cockpit behind the firewall. I have one for you, complete with mounting plates. I took it off BIF when I bought my engine. It is complete ready to install , just needs pipes and water. I'll donate it to the Bennie Vorster Bush Baby Benevolent fund, just pay for the shipping.

Here's a sample of what I am talking about

[Griffin]

The power of Microlighters and the spirit of generosity of the people on it is humbling. Good one Greg

[Gyronaut]

Thats the spirit boys! I would much rather be part of this group than the Gyronorts that are constantly at each other!

[grostek]

Just shows what a great bunch of people are on this forum.

Nice one Morph!

Bennie nou het jy geen rede om langer op die grond te sit nie

Laat Waai


Groete
