Microlighters

I visited Kitplanes early in September for a tail-wheel conversion. I was so impressed with Stefan and his crew's work and professionalism that I abruptly abandoned all plans to build a Sling and rather ordered a new Safari Adventure kit. 5 Weeks later Stefan personally delivered the full kit at Morningstar in Cape Town!!!
And since the last week in October I have been doing nothing but building aeroplane. Possibly the most interesting thing I have done for years! All the initial building is done in my garage. The final assembly will be done in the hanger at Morningstar airfield.
Here are some pictures of my progress....

Decided to build 2 wings together. So I set up a set of trestles wide enough to accommodate both wings and leveled them with a pipe level.

Baie mooi meneer. Het jy jou wiele gekry?

Vanmiddag afgelewer.... Waar is die klein master cylinders?? Nou gee julle my daai duikbote....

Shi***t. Ek het ander maar daai het nie eksterne resevoir nodig nie en is minder werk vir jou.

Most of the controls installed and set up. Busy with baggage bay floorboards, firewall installation and stringers.

Onthou die kables kruis agter in die fuselage.....

En Môreoggend begin ons met die wing to fuselage rigging.
Nog 'n paar fotos ....

Daai Elevator push/pull se rod end is te ver uitgeskroef. Skroef eerder meer in die alli. Die staal een voor kan jy bietjie op steel.

Stefan klaar reggemaak . Ons het die aluminium insert bietjie vorentoe geskuif. Al die rod-ends het ek net 3 threads uit (m.a.w tussen die lock nut en die tube)

Ek was net bang iemmand anders sien dit en probeer dieselfde.

Uiteindelik staan ons nou einde se kant toe.....

Jaaaaa, NET die basics. Waar is die oorlog?? Panel sit darem nou op n beter angle!

I like the colour scheme Gerard.

Absoluut pragtig, maar die Schnauzer is net so mooi.
