Diesel Dog what a wonderful achievement. I know what it takes , it takes a lot of effort we now need the hours , the ingredients are the right stuff. With your tender love and care it sets the home builder free. And freedom is what it is all about.
Good luck.
Cheers Oupa-G

Thanks for all the positive response.I would like to thank every body that has made a contribution to this project
Boet for handing me the batten to complete this project
Van zyl aviation for paperwork
CAA for processing our applications quickly
Johan Froneman test pilot
The ecoyota powered explorer has 2hrs flight time so far and i am happy with the results
Ac empty weight 348kg ,pilot only,30lt fuel
Takeoff ias 60 mph
Climb 950ft\min@70mph
Straight and level full power 102mph@6300rpm
Cruise 90mph@5800rpm
Touchdown 66mph
Coolant temp 79-85celcius

She does not want to stall ,slight buffet and altitude loss.
When the power is cut she drops the nose and glides 70 mph with good elevator authority
The above performance specs recorded on the mgl voyager but still have to be verified by many more hours of testing before I will put my name on them.

Hi DD, it must be a typo. No ways a BB is 248 empty without a 2 stroke installed. Perhaps 348kg

Yes that typing f#$#$ thing should be 348kg I will be very disgusted at the performance if the ac was 248kg
