Hi Griffin,

Yesterday me and Morpheus decided to buy our selves one of these each.
If you decide on one as well we can push for Bulk discount. :wink:

Dink so daaraan indien jy nou ook so belangstel kan ons nog een bestel en 'n grooter discount kry, of jy en Morph kan in partnership koop. 1/2 Pry dink net. :shock:

I did a comparison of a number of kit planes and the Oribi is one of the least expensive of the 582 planes you can build. Very easy to put together and you end up with a real blik plane that will probably outlast all of us.

John Waterson imports a container at a time so a discount may not be out of the question. For info I got a quote of R 151,959 (vat inc) for an Oribi kit including a 582, prop and instruments. All that would have to be added would be paint and a radio (and some manhours)

I would get only stage 1 kit - R77ish K. Hold off on instruments, eng and mount. Things they are a changing fast. There is a full glass panel being developed in CT for under R30k. The Dynon 180 is $3200 and all you need is Comm... Geoff & co's half V6 engine in Durbs, the diesels and VW's...

Ebay is also becomming more accessable via EMS through USPS. I have a full new panel for my RV at less than R20K off ebay (new VM1000, intercom, audio panel, Nav/com, KT76A Transponder and plenty guages). Quote from locals for exactly same goods was R48K excluding installation which was another R15K. :?
