Hi all
Been on Avcom for a while, but a newish member on Microlighters, so the 100 + posters, beware!!!!
Posted this question on Avcom, but I suspect there may be more fliers here that may relate, or have relevant knowledge / experience.
Question is this - any local experience on Hirth 2-cycle engines for NTCA use? I'd like your (I know - it's all subjective & likely to open a can of sick worms ...) opinions. Have had one or 2 so far - not yet completely unbalanced.
Then also - same question on the Eyetie Simonini 2-stroke jobbies? Would like to hear your version/s on these ...
Intended use - Bushbaby & Sonerai.
Thanks
Johann

A-ha, just what I wanted to hear! (A good report for a change) Would that RANS not perhaps be a RANS S-9 Chaos - ZU-ROY, or is it a S-10 that he's had for a while? ? We were SERIOUSLY considering the RANS (S 9), but in the end the Sonerai just won (mostly cost?) Be that as it may, that's how I got to hear (from AirScrewed on Avcom) that ZU-ROY (ex up North) recently landed up in Cape Town ... just wondering ?
I'd like to stay in touch on this one. Just started with the Sonerai (as in - the plans are on the way...), so it'll be a good few months before we get to the final engine choice. Fule injected 2-stroke sounds like it's just what the doctor ordered ... lack of inverted fuel / oil ( a la converted VW) issues solved in one fell loop

Man, that's a nice looking aerie! I love the S-9's (and the S-10, make no mistake!) - S-9 was waaaay ahead in the race for a long time in our venture, but eventually (at least for now) the Sonerai 1 won (mainly on cost, I guess, but that's what makes things turn, isn't it?)
Would be keen to keep track of their progress & so forth - any chance of getting contact details? Be appreciated.
Thanks
