Hi Bennie,

I will like to attend next year. A mate of mine is attending but I have already made plans with the family. Is the event every year and where do all the people sleep?

Will be great to arrange a couple of guys from Gauteng to attend next year.

Regards

Jacques

NGK SPARK PLUGS

On Saturday myself, Fanie and Andy took 6 hrs to find fault on what seamed to be an electrical/spark problem. After replacing the coil and both mags we decided to replace the spark plugs which sorted the problem in 5min. These plugs only have done 2 hours. I then mentioned this to my father in law w...

hi Yank, I trained in an an Aquila 582 on the highveld-5420 ft agl. I then only could afford a very low hr clean and new model 503. I have flown it at the coast and there it performs like a 582 at 5420ft agl. If you fly at altitude with a heavy trike / old wing, then you would want more horsepower. ...

Rotax 618

Hi PIERRE, The main difference between 618 and the 582 besides bore and stroke is the exhaust reed valves, this gives the 618 a higher altitude operation. All the carbs and ignition systems are transferrable from the 503 and 582. It has a different exhaust system. All the other issues written on the...
