At least when you order spares from skyranger agents they give you a strait anser, they do not tell you to watch this space.Other than that i would not mind having a cheetah in my hanger, i do have the licence to fly it but i am not verry sure witch one will put more hours on cause you cant stop the dam things. :lol:

Well.... watch this space and hopefully I'll tell you what the new cables and shoes feels like! :idea:

I have never had any delays or problems with the supply from Rainbow and that was before Robin & Ray being there. It really sounds as if the chaps are stepping up their game ( I know I gave them a hard time maar jy weet, 'n nuwe besem vee skoon en hulle doen so!) (^^)

The latest model Cheetahs are a serious improvement on the model I have but does not warrant an additional expenditure of R 250 000 to upgrade. So I have to make do with what I have and make the best of it - at least I have a Cheetah! vhpy

Goeie middag t-bird, jammer vir die misverstand, maar ek bedoel nie om enige posts te hack wanneer ek 'n "reply" los nie.

Op die oomblik is die webwerf die beste manier om by die "techno savvy" Cheetah eienaars uit te kom. http://www.aerotrike.co.za is tans onder konstruksie, maar sodra alles 120% in werking is sal ek sal ek verseker die Rainbow Family in kennis stel.

Ek het belowe om nie enige threads te flood nie, en ek sal daarby hou, jy het my woord daarop. (^^)


Groete,
Ray

Don't stress Ray.... you are paying the price for "flooding" a while ago!

At least this time it is Rainbow Cheetah related :lol:

I see on some photos of the cheetha the bottem of the wing is flat and some are round.The skyranger is also flat,so what diff are there in the flying and stabillity.

From I think around cheetah #50 they went to the new wing. It's slightly faster and more economical. Other than that it would be best to let the factory answer the rest of the benefits.
Nuts about Cheetahs. Petit is the place.

Kan jy nie Oupa-g se Safari se brieke convert vir die Cheetah nie. Dit lyk vir my na 'n eenvoudige, briljante konsep. Local en cheap - prys - neem ek aan.

Should actually work quite nicely, and they work brilliantly. Holds my BB back at 4000rpm while doing the mag checks
