Hi ppakotze, Any transponder aerial will work...i just need one....new...second hand...anything! Justin.schoeman, thanks for the tip...I think it might just be the answer to go International....America is just so much cheaper on aviation parts...only in SA its considered as a richman sport! Cool.......

Hi Scotsman.... The seats were done by a guy here in Rustenburg. They do car seats mainly, but have done seats for one or two of the Rustenburg homebuild aircrafts. Unfortunately, with the seating position of the RAVEN ...you will want to make the backrest as thin as possible...that will allow maxim...

Some more PROGRESS..... OR should i say....trouble with CAA.... After our registration number was issued to us and the guy at CAA has promised that our registration certificate will be posted to us....now three weeks later CAA says they can't register the aircraft as it don't appear on the "RAVEN ex...

We'll get use to it vhpy "Rustenburg traffic, FOXTROT FOXTROT ZULU is lining up 16 ...." I can think of quite a couple of short discription for the FFZ FFZ - F reaking F ast Z oomzoom FFZ - F un F lyer Z odiac/Raven FFZ - F or F ax Z akes FFZ - F ew and F ar Z etween FFZ - F resh F rom a Z odiac (se...

Really that easy?

Has anyone done this before? a pic or two?

It would be great.....(I believe the wire would be much less than the local SA price on these antennas - R550+)


This is the one for R550:

So.....at last we have a REGISTRATION NUMBER for the Jab powered RAVEN!! The aerie will be known as: ZU-FFZ Well, the new registration number also allowed us to get the safetybelts done........here they are...CAA approved safety belts : (at a price of course...but they came with all the test certifi...

What alternatives are there to the rather expensive transponder aerials at our local shops? (starting at R500+)

There is a guy selling them in the states for $10. (R70) each?

Does anyone know of a local agent or place to get the aerials for less?

thanks

Ok, So the following are installed and ready to go: StickGrips and PTT's Grips installed.JPG The door seals.....we are still battling with the seals at the rear end of the doors. Door won't close nicely with them installed...anyone with another suggestion on what we can use for the doorseals? Doorse...

Thanks RV4ker...

I'll go have a chat with those two rustenBURGERS....

Thanks mr RANGER>.....

I knew someone would come up with a brilliant plan!!

Where can I buy Aircraft Safety Belts? (the typical ones you get in the Boing 737?) Even Secondhand ones are fine!

I need two.

Also....what about 4-point safety harnesses? Is it worth it (incase of an accident) or won't it be much different to the normal ones?

Yes...it makes sense to put it there....anywhere underneith the fuselage you might pickup heat from the exhaust gas!!


Does anyone know what effect the extended wires would have on the temp reading?

Where would be the best place in a Raven/Zodiac to install the Outside Air Temperature Probe? So as to get the most accurate reading and not a reading influenced by the engine temperature or the exhaust gas temperature?

Hi Guys, This is the Raven we are busy completing. (yes, its the one bought from James) It has the Jabiru 2200 (85hp) motor installed and we are planning on using the Jabiru 60x42 prop. IMG_0019%20%5B640x480%5D.jpg We've added an additional fuel outlet from the 65L tank (in case the current one migh...

it definately helps!

Any idea of the cost of a pty? (Can you also buy it off the shelf?)
