:D Patience, my dear friends, I have been told: Is one of the great virtues of life :roll: Shortly.......
I have 2 projects in my way that I am now working away so we can have SPACE. So working on 3 BB`s. Did some spray painting today, keep on finishing components. Before long the whole thang will come together. :D

Boet ja wil ook maar net se jy is maar bleddie stil lately.

Ek stem saam daai engin is moer mooi.

n Pel van my is besig met n Little Wing Gyro en hy wil dieselfde enjin insit.

www.rotecradialengines.com

Kyk op die website en luister ook sommer na die engin.

Graham, ek is so besig soos n een been man op n gatskop kompetisie. Tyd vir niks. Fortunately my camara issue has now been resolved. At least I can now let the pics come. :D
Initially I was a bit intimidated by the seemingly complexity of the Rotec. But now that I have learned more, the installation is actually easier than a 912 :!:

Boet, do you fit in a BB comfortably.

No Disresepct, I am also a little larger than normal and I want to do my taildragger conversion in the BB but I am not sure I fit so lekka.

Its an Explorer so perhaps the few extra inches might save my ass....

:D Like my late Dad used to say: "I`m not half the man I used to be, but at least I`m twice the size". :wink: You are right, I cannot get in as nimble as we used to. Have not missed a meal in a while.......Fortunately the Explorer helps a lot with the extra space. :D :D :D
Anyway, back to the building. Today the Exlorer was intoduced to it`s engine. :D
