Rebuilding Bush Baby #4. ZU - ASL

Postby Brian » Thu Oct 06, 2011 12:33 am

After my incident in 2010 I parked the remains of my pride and joy for 6 months and very nearly lost interest. Luckily my wife and friends convinced me to once again persue my passion so here are a few photo's of my progress.

Brian kyk na die Revmaster R2300, 85 regte egte hp, direct drive, dual cdi ignition, dual 20amp alternators, injector body ipv carburettor of fuel injection. Hierdie enjin IS NIE n VW, dit is n regte vliegtuig enjin. Hy weeg minder as n 912 fully installed, en half die prys.revmaster bou al enjins van die vroe sestigs af.
Groete

Hi manne dit is die klein-baas hier wat net so nou en dan vir die Baas raad gee en verder doen wat hy sê.
Eerstens thanks Brian vir die kans om aan ASL (asshole) te werk.
Tweedens Thanks Boet vir die parte.(kan vw nie vir anker gebruik nie hy veroorsaak n groter olieramp as n TANKER)
Derdens Tanks Stefan vir al die raad , raamwerk ,enginmount en parte dit is waarlik n riem onder die hart om sulke backup te hê (^^) (^^) (^^) (^^)

Like Peter says, thanx to all the guys for your input and advice. Most of all thanx to my friend Peter who is doing all the handiwork. Without his help I would have taken 5 years to put together an airplane with absolutely no flying capabilities. (**) His passion and gusto for the project is amazing. (^^)
