Re: Finally: MY own Bushbaby Explorer
By late yesterday afternoon all patches and tapes were on, and two coats of nitrate rolled on. And then a surprize visit from a good mate from Oz. The braai last night ........
Re: Finally: MY own Bushbaby Explorer
I have the wings ready for painting. Depending on the weather, that is on the charts for tomorrow. Instrument panel made and trail fitted. Needs to spray the panel for fitment. My helper found a new and much lighter way of streamlining those V-struts. Little wood and aly, and fabric covered. Works like a charm and the weight gain is about bugger-all.

Re: Finally: MY own Bushbaby Explorer
So today was another busy day here in paradise. Sprayed the red trim on the wings. Fitted the cowling, finished half of the wiring after installing the instrument panel. all of this while the glue is drying on the lift-strut fairings. Now a bit tired, so turning in early tonight.

Looks nice Oom Boeta man. Ons moet kyk dat jy maar 'n nuwe styl cowl in die hande kry. Ek wonder of hierdie nuwe cowl op die 582 sal pas?

Nee, daai cowl se lyne is nie reg vir die 582 nie, maar ek sal julle n deal maak. As jy die poly-u foam en die materiale sal sponsor, maak ek n 582 cowl wat skrik vir niks. Dan kan jy die mold kry????

Dankie, en dit wil al lyk of moerlandspan vandag sy eerste ernstige winter reen gaan kry. Dis Leeu koud, en ek maak in die waenhuis vuur, want dis Moedersdag en ma wil braaivleis eet! Gister het ek taamlik aan die errie gewerk, en hy is nou so na aan klaar soos demmit aan n vloekword.
Re: Finally: MY own Bushbaby Explorer
