Baking soda soda blasting. Ek het Saterdag my Explorer se 582 enjin verkoop, nou staan my errie daar met n haas-bek, and I am sprouting roots on my boots! This 912 will have to go in double quick! Softness is already complaining that she can see "withdrawl symtoms". She recons I become grumpy when I can not fly! The engine munt will be here tomorrow, and some new boutjies for the enjaain, I am replacing the ugly rusty ones. So tomorrow night the late candle she will be burning. vhpy

My 912 is in.......maar die bleddie cowling pas nou net net nie. 2"te kort en 3' te laag damn demmemit. :evil: Gelukkig het Stafan van Kitplanes vir my n cowling. Magtig, ek KAN nie nou staan en skuur en skep nie, ek sukkel met my een arm. Die Dr se ek het n "tennis elmboog" op my linker arm. n Ander ou se dis n "ander" soort besering, maar kan nie wees nie, want ek is regs!! Anyway, seems like it will not be too long now. I have nearly everything to complete. (^^)

Had a little red paint left over from something else, so put it to good use. The expansion and spider tanks were soda blasted clean, and painted. Looks like new now. I am experiencing a problem getting hold of some 17mm id water hose. I want to replace ALL the water hoses and oil lines. vhpy
