Finally: MY own Bushbaby Explorer

[Low Level]

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?

Ek laaaik daai lyne. Die BB lyk windgat.

Is die Rv12 nie 116 Kts nie? Ek weet hulle het gesukkel om die spoed onder 120kts MAX Sport Plane In VSA te hou...

Nee, volgens die ad mph

I declared war against weight with this aeroplane. The prop is a bit special, and I am going to do a bit of an aerodynamic cleanup. I belief, that the lighter they are, the better they fly. Putting too many instruments in these planes are really stupid. It just adds weight and complexity...... but I am digressing. My aim is to get this baby as close to an honest 100mph aerie as I can. It is possible. The aeroplane is now basically complete. All the bits and pieces need to be assembled. The scales will tell the story.

Dog ek sit maar 'n fotie hier van die screen, Lyk my die Germaan eet maar langtand aan die glibberige BB


Tested the topspeed - 134mph IAS @ 5500rpm with 28,5inch manifold press. SERIOUS performer. Going to Rhino park

Some useless info....

About ten years ago they did a streetbike top end shootout in England. They tested the top ten bikes, and the fastest bike over 1 mile had the SEVENTH highest horsepower on that day. The secret - the owner spent serious time cleaning the aerodynamics of the bike - the screen to fairing fitment, every bolt and nut that stuck out, the calipers, brake hoses, etc, etc.

Small changes has huge effects at 100mph.

Nou moet nog net die pielooot n bietjie/baie gewig verloor

[Boet]

Jaaaaaa jaaaaaa, dit ook.

I am now nearly there. Today the flapperons is to go on, and some small items need to be tended to, and she will be ready for flight.

Hallo Oom Boet

Die thread begin op 21 April en dit is nou 19 Mei. Bou julle 'n hele vliegtuig in minder as 'n maand?
Moet nog eendag kom inloer as ek weer in die area is.

Groete

Hi Boet
Gaan jy die naweek vlie

[Boet]

Hallo Goose, nee, ek sal dit nie maak nie. Nog papierwerk en weeg. Ek het te veel ander werk tussen-in ook nog gehad om te doen. Maar ek is tevrede, my errie is in n rekord tyd voltooi, en hy is mooi genoeg. My hangars staan altwee vol erries, niks plek vir rooies nie, sal maar hier van die dorp af moet vlieg! Baie geluk met jou errie, sy lyk pragtig, en ek is seker sy gaan baie lekker vlieg ook Geniet!!!
