Hello guys and girls

Sanna will be back in the air soon and this time with a vengence (-) (^^) A nice Bushbaby is somewhere in the works and all that is left to do is to fit the motor. The prop might be (90%) a constand speed fitted to this very nice 100HP motor. Im gonna get the Duck to go from red to grey in one month flat.... :twisted:
Here is a pick or two to just for fun.....

Hi Aerosan, you should consider installing the new Explorer cowling. I see that is still an older Bushbaby cowl. Enjoy the rebuild.

Congrats, and welcome to the clan. The subie is HEAVY. Try the BEE EM, or save up for a good used 912 S. I did the test-flying on that particular plane. What a pleasure. ZU EHK. (-) (-) (^^) (^^) (^^) (^^) (^^) (^^) :wink:
