With the full kit and 912S motor, shipping and vat. In other words, all you will ever need extra is a pilot, radio and intercom, in the region of R300k. By this I mean under or just over depending on method of shipment and exchange rate.

Congratulation Demon - this is will change the face of expedition flying in Africa.

But just watch those brakes. We have had several Quiks turn over in the UK on landing due to overenthusiatic application of the rear wheel hydraulic disc brakes. One GT-450 bit the dust in this way only two weeks ago.

Last week I took a deep breath and parted with 24,000 GBP (pounds sterling) and ordered one for myself. There is a growing waiting list and I'll have to wait till end of September before I get it.

Plan to visit SA towards end of August so I'll make a point of popping round to Rietfontein to see you.

Oh, I thought you needed to apply for international clearance to fly there, like when you fly to bots, Moz, etc.

Hi Demon,

I see on your dashboard is a mixture control. Confirm you can set the mixture like with conventional aircraft? Is this a feature for the 912S, or an optional feature of the 912?

Regards,
Arnulf
