Thx Morph!

Any body doing refueling like this nowadays? Gunter Rostek. Is use a funnel with wire mesh inside (think it was R12), but would prefer something better. I like the chamois idea :idea: Nothing like clean fuel and a smooth flight. Btw. I now use both types of filters, the glass (the proper one, not t...

Sorry to open this one up again

Bought some Benz filters from Mercedes two weeks ago, the exact ones in the picture above.

They are still available. Mercurius Polokwane had 7 in stock. They were R27 each.

I needed an extra filter to install before the fuel flow sender.

O-ja!

Thx also for the "replace the fuel filter after 5 hours" tip!

This topic is right up my alley! I have wanted to ask this questions same time ago. Timing sucks a bit as I still have some studying and exams to do and write, and now here I am thinking fuel and levels and tanks :roll: So here goes! So Morph, which level sender should I use for the Thunderbird? The...

Thx Calv!

Sorry for only posting today :( Work tends to get in my way when it comes to flying related priorities :!: :roll: Anyway, you can pay both the CAA and Van Zyl Aviation electronically. The banking details for CAA is on the application form. I don't have the banking details for Van Zyl Aviation, yet. ...

All of you speak the truth. It is a great plane! Flew one with a 912 extra for many hours and I can confess to many good and valid points mentioned above. Carl just finished a local Raven a week ago. It will be fitted with a 914 turbo :P Should be something to experience! Apparently Carl is not rush...

Good people! I want to send my "Application for student pilot license" to the CAA. I have some challenges in this regards, could you please assist or advise? It seems as the fee is R310? This I will EFT. What reference should I use? It is simply blank on the form. Can't find it on the www either. I ...

Boet

Pls send me the radial.

I'm am afraid said brommers will mess it up and cause the value to depreciate. Hier bo in die Noorde pla die brommers nie so baie nie. Ek sal sommer ook die enjin laat inloop!

I like the wankel idea.

Question is: Is it the better alternative?

Dude at CAA told me the following: All radios needs licenses, whether handheld or mounted. If mounted, it is CAA's responsibility to make sure that you have said licenses. If handheld, it is ICASA's responsibility. Costs have apparently gone up to R650 for first time and then around R48 per year. If...

Barnstormer.... What is the progress of the chap installing a Simonini in a Cheetah? Imagine what a Cheetah / Skyranger would fly like with a Jab 3300 engine installed!!!! Still agree though, DIESEL the way to go with all this Part 24 stuff! BN he had some problems with the Simonini... Installed it...

I'm with Duck on the 14,5V is too much, when you feeding it 14.5V all the time. Although you can go up to 14.4V or even 14.7V (AGM Batteries?) when controlled by a charger, but then the amps are dropped and it is done for a limited time ONLY. Overcharging the battery will cause gassing and will dry ...
