The Koala windscreen is basically a flat piece of polycarb cut to shape. It bends when "wrapped" around the frame and screwed in place. Do not know how yours work. Better give them a call or chat to Vladimir when you are at Springs.

Good Luck!!

Hi Paul

How is the Koala comming along?

Was out of town for a month so I only started this week again.
Finished the doors last night. Will fit them on Friday and make the final adjustments to the hand brake set-up.

Need to do the test between the P-Prop and Powerfin next. Will post the results.

Did a testflight with the "new" prop. Much better performance.
Some pics of the old vs the new.

Hi Paul

Hoe lyk dit? watter is die P Prop en watter is die POwerfin? Ek hoop om weer in die lug te wees binne die volgende twee maande, dalk kom kuier ek!

Cheers San

Oom Piet is die oordentlike spaan met die geel tips

Soos KFA gese het. Die geel tips is die P-Prop. Ander een is nie die Powerfin nie, maar die Ritz wat op was. Powerfin is `n 4 blade composite.

Hoe het die composite vir jou gewerk?

What has the bigger prop done to your static RPM and EGT settings? Is the Prop at a higher, same, or lower pitch than the old one?

Morph,

It is a completely different setup. Used to be a 66x40 (the small one in the picture) with a 2.62 gear ratio. Static RPM was around 6300. She ran hot.

Now it is a 72x50 with a 3.47 gear ratio. Static RPM is 6500. Much cooler but I must add that I also changed the jets.

Koala club - I have a koala which is currently at panorama ZS-WJI. I will soon move to Kliprivier airfield. I have a new 582 warp drive prop etc. GLA (great little aeroplane)

1 or 2 seater? And how is the warp drive working for you?

[quote][/quote]Hi Paul

2 seater.
Warp drive is good. With a 582 blue top, e type gearbox. Cruise 60 to 65 mph @ 5300 rpm. I chose the warp drive since its composite nature is less maintenance, vibration etc
I have also kept it as a taildrager, maybe convert it to a tricycle undrecarriage later on. But for the mean time Im content to limit my flying to calm conditions and grass runways only.

Climb Rate?

Took WRH home to start the covering process.

Found some loose joints and one broken support. Will take all the skin off over the next couple of days to have a good look

She is currently one UGLY bird without her skin!!
