jcvb Apologies - haven't been on the site for a few days ... None flying locally that I know of, but I have heard thru the grapevine that they are apparently fairly common overseas as alternatives to the VW Type-1's, etc in the VLA league. Here, with alt density problems I dunno what the position is...

Geo / Suzuki 4-stroke Engines

I'm not trying to thrash anybody's products by this, and have no interest in the matter, commercially or otherwise - I received the mail thru another group & thought I'd share it here purely for the sake of those who may be interested to know ... "Light weight low cost four stroke engines, good Rota...

Would like to get some more info on this one - we will need to do something similar next year to a Rattex to assist with inverted fuel supply. Only problem of course, is that the new engine warranty immediately disappears into thin air :evil:

Keep us posted!

Problem with the CAA site's reports are that they are individual .PDF files which does not allow you much search ability. BTW, if you do ever need an older acccident report, they are still available from the CAA without too much fuss - I managed (at no cost) to get a good photocopy of a full report ...

Would it not be great if MISASA (or this forum even) had a mechanism for reporting incidents, mishaps and accidents (non fatal) anonomously :?: ... Reporting these to the public anonomously is probably a good idea, no need to point fingers at anyone. Just allow people to learn as much as possible. ...

SB What you say there sort of underwrites my opinion ... it does not have to take that long for any reason in the whole wide world. If we / someone can come up with a mechanism that's at least acceptably accurate to be used as a knowledge base, we would have partly succeeded. BTW, if anyone's intere...

I'm now a bit older and no longer involved, but when I was a bit younger (The older I get, the faster I was ... ever heard that one?) I was involved in an "industry" where high-speed driving and some low-level flight activity outside of the norm was often part of a day's "normal" activity, as was fr...

royden 6061-T6 is also sometimes used in the manufacture of alu roofracks, bullbat components, etc. (at least the good quality ones, can't speak for the fly-by-night stuff) in the 4x4 / offroad scene, so you may want to try around that industry, even if you can find some offcuts that may do the tric...
