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

[GR8-DAD]

Ten minste sal ons darm nog 'n paar sente oor he vir 'n cheap begrafnis, ek weet nie van die ryk manne nie. :D :D :D

Bennie, Rotax 582 kos seker dieselfde, of baie naby, as die Volksie motor en loop 'n k@k skoot........

[Boet]

Bennie, MAAR BEGRAFNISSE KOS MEER AS ROTAX ENJINS?











Jou lewe is meer werd as n "cheap enjin. ( My errie het n Lycoming 0320 in wat ek "cheap gekoop en self oorgedoen het.) Maar ek ken al die "ropes"

[Bennie Vorster]

Ok, nou help 'n outjie wat graag wil veilig vlieg maar nie genoeg geld het vir 'n Rotax nie. Ek het al begin wonder of die veiligste vliegtuig nie die een is wat sonder 'n enjin in 'n Hanger geparkeer staan waarna 'n mens so af en toe op 'n Sondag middag net 'n bietjie gaan kyk nie.

Boet wat kos dit wanneer jy 'n volla enjin uithaal en die hele oorbou na 'n 912 of 'n 582 toe doen. Verder, hoe installeer mens 'n "Balistic cuite" op 'n klaargeboude BB.

[The Agent]

Hi Bennie ek sien jy kon toe nie so lekker slaap gisteraand nie , ek het jou probeer bel maar ko nie deurkom nie.
Wat is die storie nou met jou ou engin ouboet ons wag.

Sterkte met die nuwe winkel In Ermelo ek het eer gister daar oorgevlieg vroeg oggend, het jou nie raakgesien nie

[Wingless Nut]

Bennie, kyk 'n bietjie na die Verner 133 masjien. Ongekompliseerd met beter "performance" (kw & torque) as die 912 ul, en omtrent R20k goedkoper.

[Leprachaun]

Bennie , dont even think of the Verner - its a promise - the guy who brought the first two in has given up - bly maar by die Rotax - as they say more than 80% of ultralights in the world use Rotax motors - Fact
you were lucky - soos die Iere se "If you buy fish and its a bargain , smell it First"- dont buy a bargain and become a statistic Leprachaun

[Wingless Nut]

Hmmmmm. Yes well I understand. After all, the Irish are not known for getting their facts straight. Potato moonshine no doubt "sharpening" the senses. As for the true facts,.... well as they say in the classics: "Ek ken die verskil tussen 'n kastrol en 'n poepol en Leprechaun is definitief nie 'n kastrol nie" I therefore suggest Bennie that you will be better served by ignoring Mr. Leperousprawn and speaking with Mr. Lawson the Verner importer himself. He HAS ALL THE FACTS and contact details are available on this site.

[Leprachaun]

To inform the winglessnut I had the Verner in my Trusty Aquilla - withdrew it from earning a living while fitting the Verner , but alas the importer does not listen to anyone but himself - jy kan hom f...l vertel , should you want pics I can supply - a good product , but without local committment - same as the big banger Simonninis of a few years ago - as jy will sukkel gaan so , Leprachaun

Ek moes in die bakkie le en slaap. en jy kom loer toe nie eers in nie.

[Bennie Vorster]

Lets first find out what the pros say and then I'll decide how mutsh I'll pay some one to take it from me.

Ja well no fine....I got my popcorn and a Coke. Now let's sit back and enjoy :D

No Bennie, that's a rusted 'ol Volkswagen that's parked under a tree on a farm that you're thinking of

[Leprachaun]

Pics as promised of the Verner in the Aquilla , Another option is the 80- 120hp BMW oilheads which are used with great success in the UK and the USA - Pegasus fit em - you can pic up a good one ex R1150 0r 1200 dfor R25000,00 all inclusive - can run continuously at 7000rpm ex Cytech in JHB

Mr. Leprechaun thy Great Greenliness, SIR! I concede (doing a lot of that sh*t lately) that your knowledge of this engine outstrips mine significantly. However...you on the "udderhand" acknowledged that it is a good product. As one citizen of the Global village to another; Could a good product thus not be taken care of via a good import agent and a few emails? My thinking is that a chap like Bennie here could land Verner spares for about the same price as the local agent, without having to feel said agent's markup in his pocket. I mean with it being such a good product and all?! Then onto the Rotax.....I would be hard pressed to believe that they had an established local agency carrying all the engines and substantial spares, from day one. In all likelihood, it took them quite a while to get up and "firing on all cylinders". Incidentally, what did you do with the Verner engine? Do you still have it and /or the Aquilla?

[Leprachaun]

Hi Nuttless wing , at last you seem to see the light !!!
The Verner is not the best , but its an option - with the right marketing and backup you could get a fair marketshare - Compare a 1340cc oil/ aircooled twin for R80,000-00 to a well known proven watercooled flat four for R100,000-00 or a proven twin BMW R series 1150 or 1200 boxer for R25000,00 -
Dit laat jou dink ne - Jy kan ook nog altyd kyk na die Smart car 3 cyl 600 cc engin - aircooled , turbocharged and 61Kw - only engine that gives you 60 kG weight @61 kw - nog n opsie as julle weet van een eks eerste in die que - Ek kan nog nie die pryse verstaan nie - Die Verner wat in my Aquilla was is verkoop aan iemand wat lus is om die paper trail te doen teen die beterwete van die invoerder .
