Morph and Gadget's EPH rebuild

[Gadget]

AH! Boet, she looks nice. Maybe we should leave the enigine open, cause it looks so good. he he he.

[Boet]

Nee jong, ek dink ons moet maar die "Lump" se skandes bedek hou. n 912 sien jy net 4 tappet covers en n f%^$#@en klomp pype. Ons het vandag die tenks getoets, hulle lek niks. en toe begin om die vlerke voor te berei vir die oortrek slag. As dit koud en nat is kan jy nie met gom en fabric werk nie. Ons sal maar kyk hoe die weer more lyk.

[KFA]

Boet, jy sal maar laeveld toe moet trek. Hier is dit slegs warm en droog Heeltyd speeltyd. Sien julle volgende week in die fairest

[Boet]

Today was cold enough to freeze the family jewels right off of a brass monkey. Lo an behold, look what the wind blew this way. He must be terribly fond of FREEZING his gonads off, or he must be VERY fond of flying.

[Morph]

Ranger, whatcha doin there?

Glad to see you arrived safely

[Gadget]

Hey boet, it must be your wifes kooking that drew him al the way there because the wind wasn't blowing that way. I sat here last night thinking to myself that ranger is getting some real good ole boere kos and i am stuck with a mcdonalds burger. Theres somethng fundamentally wrong about that. Thanks for looking after our buddie but dont allow him so close to the plane, he might just wanna take her for a test flip.

[Boet]

He left about 09H30 this morning, dressed up like Shrek, in many layers like an union, and waddling about like a Michelin-man. PERFECT trike flying weather. Now if it just was`nt so damn cold...... Yes, and he gave EPH his nod of approval, AND mentioned vaguely about a conversion to 3-axis, now that EPH has sprouted dual brakes. HIER KOM N DING

[Boet]

The wings are covered, and doped to final layer of silver dope. Now just a favourable weather-window... Morph, we have ALL our fingers out, and all stops removed. It is difficult to build planes in this cold. Nothing can be hurried. Not long to go, please have patience.

[Morph]

Boet,

no pressure from my side. I know you are doing a good job.

[Boet]

We are pushing as fast as we can. We have to have your airie out asap, to make space for Vliegvark & co`s 2 Safaris. On Friday made full use of the fantastic weather, and sprayed both winges white. Now just have to sand them smooth and spray the final...... not long now. Thanx for your patience.

[Boet]

We sprayed the final white coat on the wings and the lift-struts yesterday. Today the reg letters went on, tomorrow we pack the whole Meccano-set together. Just a couple of small things to attend to, then EPH can go aviate once more.

[Gadget]

Manne, die lus raak nou groot. Boet, so just good weather that is needed hey. Send some new pics please. And a recipy for some lekker boere stew, the cape is freezing.

[Boet]

Jy sal maar jou luste so bietjie langer op iets anders moet uitwoed... Vandag gedoen wat ons gister belowe het. Sy lyk nou weer na iets wat moet vliee. Sal maar vir julle n paar nice goetertjies ook aansit. Is tog nou besig. Wanna talk about freezing? Cold enough to freeze the family jewels right off a brass monkey

[GR8-DAD]

En waar staan ons nou? Mag EPH gevlieg word na MStar of word sy getrailer? Morph, Gadget

GR8-DAD,

I think we must think of a bit of "straf dop" if she gets trailered back to Morningstar. Such a nice plane should be flown back. They must let us know, and we can do a salute when she gets there!!
