Micro maintenance.

Postby Bennie Vorster » Mon Jun 04, 2007 9:30 am

I decided to do some serous maintenance on my new tryke before flying it. I think it is of at most importance to do this with every new plane you buy. In this way you get familiar with your wings and you learn to trust it.

Bennie,
Het dieselfde met myne gedoen. Was nie nodig om te veel te vervang nie, maar het baie daaruit geleer. Dankie nogmaals vir John Arnold wat my gehelp het. Sonder hom .......!
Wil nou die 503 pak en behoorlik "decoke" en sommer die vergasser ook "over all".

That looks scary. Why spraying fertiliser / poison in the carbs?

Lots of little bits on the floor. Did you have any extras left over? :lol:

I have ordered a few spares, kost around 13K. Compleate front shock assembly, frunt fork, back shocks, goose neck, tyres , wheel berings, plugs, fuel line, fuel and air filters. Ignition, mags, landing and strobe light switshes switches, Seat covers and panier bags to be redone. Also a bolt kit that will replace every bolt and nut on the tryke. Rather safe than sorry. :roll: :roll: :roll:
