My new tow vehicle will soon have 220V on the back! so a Karcher seems to be my next acquistion...

Anyone at Klippies want to get the rentboy out there with 220V and drag a Karcher along?

I am waiting for my 1000W Inverter, do you know the wattage required by the Karcher Demon?

It is important not to bring the nozzle too close to the surface of the wing as the pressure could be too much, but the Wap does have a adjustable nozzle where you can de-tune the pressure to suit your appilication. It works great.

Maybe what you should try is not groundlooping your trike - that should help a bit with the mud :twisted: :twisted:

Solution

Postby ilikeatrike » Tue Aug 30, 2005 10:38 am

I have had this bird problem for a while(Rhino Park) and here is the only permanent solution.

Close ALL openings where birds can come in, this i did with bird netting (the type they use for fruit trees) and ogiesdraad.You need to close every opening even the smallest openings.To do this was a hellova job,but well worth it (Cost of materials R600.00).I used small tie straps to connect the nets together.

To clean my Trike i use feather dusters,I believe that using water or a soap water combo only causes the dirt to be washed into the fabric.

Groundlooping you get in taildragers, this happends when your fast asleep on the rudders , taxing too fast and don't check the cross wind, your plane goes spinning round and round, you go fwaaak and your heart (**) I don't think you get this in nose wheel configuration a/craft but you never know, some dude might just prove us wrong :lol: :lol:

If you use the Karcher don't go near the radiator on a 582. I accidentally carved my intials on the radiator before I realised that the paint had come off.
