New Trike / Kempton Park

[Jetman]

No, no, nooooo RV4ker. I didn't even pay close to that amount. I did import directly from the Hungarian guys and I only ordered the under carriage with radiator and exhause but without engine and wing. Hurgarian labour is very cheap. Cheers Skin aka Jetman Loots

[RV4ker (RIP)]

Phew... So there is hope

[bobthebuilder]

Any guesses on the weight yet?

[Jetman]

The weight of the trike with carriage, engine, radiator, exhause and instruments(everything except the wing) is 160 kg. What is the average weight of a Aquilla or Raptor without a wing??. I guess its +- 190 kg. Correct me if I'm wrong. Cheers Skin

My Raptor with wing and ballistic 220kg

Nice Hendrik, The blue with the checkered blocks looks like some aviation magazine. It only need some African Pilot Logo's on the wing.

From website...

Rotax 582 E-Box
$38,000
Rotax 912UL 80 hp
$49,000
Rotax 912ULS 100 hp
$51,500

I know my maths leaves a lot to be desired or so my teacher said...., but are these numbers correct?

At a cost of $1 : R12 the 582 calculates to something like R456,000-00

Maybe the comma must move one digit back..?

Ooooor I'll keep quiet and sell my aerie for R350,000-00 with the 582 and get myself one of those GT450's complete for that price, he he
