Ja Oom Boet so how much :!: :!: inflight ajaustable IVO 3 blade. I would like it as light as possible as we have to cut down on weight. The Duck and myself are thinking of malaria as a possible aid to weight loss for the two of us in order to compensate for the 30kg`s of the Subie motor :!: :!:

does the spinner come with a bekplate :?:

Was able to get out of bed today.
I've been so damn sick the last 5 days that I've now lost all the weight that I needed to loose. Your turn now. Eat less and Cr@p more! :lol: :lol:

Ok guys

here is a couple of pics from the week end. We are getting close now and I hope to finish the cowl`s glass work on Wednessday and then do a final weight and balance.

I foresee that we will be able to fly this baby by the end on the year (**) ($$) (^^) Im aiming for end of next month though but end of the year still sounds fine to me, and the Duck still needs a rating ($$) ($$) ($$) puff

Ja die arie kom nou mooi aan en ekke dink die spinner sal nou moet bykom. Hier le die probleem ook dan, dit wil voorkom of ons als sal moet "custom maak" oor die VP prop en die afstand agter vir die borsels maar ons sal moet sien.

Oom Boet ons sal gesels oor die spinner as ons nou daardie probleempie uitsort. Dankie virrie PM

Groetnis Sanna en Eend

Just a small update...
We did a weight and balance this weekend, she came out a bit nosey...so we moved the battery back, gained 1 kg in weight due to the extended battery cables but she`s on the numbers! Between 21.47% to 25.82% with 100 kg pax and 100kg piloot. She is a bit heavy at 368kg empty :oops: but nou ja ons sal maar sien :P

Cheers vir eers

Unfortunately, some of us are heavier than others (no names, just follow my eyes! :roll: :roll: ).......And the bloody cowl just don't want to get finished :!: vhpy I keep hearing about how it's gonna get sanded down etc. but........nothing! niks!...still looks the same, week after week :lol: Maybe it was just a rumour :?:
I'm done welding the radiator and routing the waterpipes. Unfortunately the one weld on the radiator had a small leak and I had to take it back home to re-weld :oops:
This Sunday I'll be putting in a solo effort as some of us ( no names, just follow my eyes :roll: :roll: ) are slacking it somewhere on a farm, apparently attending some very important wedding (that's his version anyway!)

Love you Sanna!!

Eend daai battery cables better be done by next weekend or all the love in the world will not save you. (**) (**) you might just have to as for assylum in the US of A (-)
