Anything we can do from this side to help? Telephone calls to people - that kind of thing.

[RV4ker (RIP)]

Now SAA refusing to load the engine as it HAZARDUS cargo, airline wants penalties and shipping agent has not got a clue..... WTF....

This black hole of costs just keeps getting bigger.....



Something to be said for buying Rattex and Jab engines...

[RV4ker (RIP)]

Thrown toys out the cot with too many people, taken a couple years off Boet's life span, but now we back on track again for flight to Oz......



PS
If I think of the amount of Shit My Uncle In the Aircraft Business has taken with this aerie which has nothing to do with him, I know why I am not in the aircraft business....

Dankie Oom Boet en jammer vir al die KAK. Hoopelik sal die Dier nog eendag vlieg. Geniet die flyinn en passop with die aardvark gaate....

[Boet]

Toemaar Oom Jors ek verstaan. 12 jaar tenminste, missing. Moertoe, gone. Glad everything came to a point. Soos wors, maar die het 2 punte. At 55 not graying yet, but this Animal thing is working on me now. George`s moermeter hit the red today, he kakked on the Shipping Agent, SA blew his steam overload valve,and then both phoned me for a shoulder to cry on. I poured some oil on their troubled waters, and very soon everybody was smiling again. PHEW. Fortunately I was in the motor trade for close onto 30 years. Makes you kinda used to this sort of situations. Seems like ROTEC will FINALLY be flyink tomorrow....... Eeeiiiisssh

Progress report...

Rotec is back home in Oz finally getting complete o/h...

See attached pics of your overhaul / upgrade. As you can see we have all the main work done and have your crank case closed and ready to except the cylinders etc. The parts in the boxes have been inspected and will be cleaned and reassembled as we require them.
All the conrods have been crack tested shot peened and re bushed. So to the gears all crack tested and shot peened. The PSRU will be upgraded with our latest gear sets and bell drive plate as per 2009 spec engines.
I’d expect to have this engine on the test stand ready for running next week some time.

Afgesien van al die KAK bly die Rotec maar n mooi stuk engineering

Where is the (drool) emoticon... I really love the looks of that engine - inside and out!

[Cali]

George. It's a scam. I saw your engine over here in Oz today. It has a new job.
I could not get the picture any smaller than 1.5meg so I have e-mailed it to you. Please see if you can make it smaller and post it here.

Cheers

Cali

[RV4ker (RIP)]

The most difficult part will be to wrestle the key for this aerie away from me...

Mental note...
Bring crow bar, chain saw and AK47 to get said keys....

[Carel]

[Boet]

SPARROWS. Don`t you just hate the little m`ferkers when they crap all over your newly painted wings???? They soon will go the way of the bloody Aardvark that dug up the runway.
