Pioneer dualstar

Postby Stephan van Tonder » Wed Mar 25, 2009 10:05 am

Ok time for my own little project. Just finished buying this Airframe less motor as that is basically all I can afford right now. The airframe has basically been already refurbished by Gunther the guy I bought it from and all fasterners etc. are new AN spec. Currently has no registration - I expect a long visit at CAA to sort that out. Will take pictures of when I collect hopefully this weekend and then progress as we go.
Here are some pics that I currently have.

Morph thanks for that. Is there any chance you have contact details or know where those other dualstars are currently?

Looks like a blunderturd.

ENJOY...

PS
Am sure Andy K will be able to assist. He had something similar standing at Petit many moons ago...

Looks like the one I saw at Fisantekraal about 2 months ago...

I think the pilot also flies a Bantam...

Yes all the pics you have you can mail to me - stephan.vantonder@macsteel.co.za
The registrations is what I need as well - then I can try and get hold of owners but at least have something to work from with CAA as far as getting manuals and certificates.

Thanks Graham. Yes pretty much like a bantam - just easier to get into. A jabi motor would be nice but way out of my budget currently. My good friend Andy has a low hour Rotax 618 for me currently that fits the budget better. So right currently the items I really need is E-gearbox and starter and a prop.
Decided to simply install a MGL ultra horizon xl for instruments - will be cheaper than buying all the single gauges.
