Dankie vir die lekker gesels vanoggend Boet! Dis lekker om 'n stem by die naam te sit.

Ek sal die ou vannaand bel, dalk kan ek sy arm draai, die twin BosBaba klink darem vir my na 'n baie goeie idee!

Sal laat weet wat gebeur, as dinge uitwerk kan ons gesels :mrgreen:

Groete,
Rudi

I saw that, looks good! Only problem is I will still have 2 x 503's vhpy vhpy I am considering going to have a look at the Himax though......

I am really looking for a plane/project without an engine or with a "bad" engine.

Other options would be a RANS S4/S5, maybe even a KR1 or BD5? The twin Bushbaby is VERY tempting though :twisted:

Hi Sailor man!!

Love your new pic!

Now there would be a little hot ship, wonder how the weight of 2 x 503's compare to a VW? If you mount the engines on the wing would you need to increase the span to compensate for lost lift? Maybe not, maybe the prop wash over the wing would at least partially compensate.

You better get your baby flying soon or we are going to get you flying without wings vhpy vhpy

I was thinking about a push-pull job, does have many advantages!

Yes, Friday at Swartkop sounds good (^^) (^^)
