Seems you are looking for a toy. Why don't you go for a powered parachute from Buckeye. The closest you will ever come to real flying with the wind in your face. A very forgiving aircraft. This is a fairweather aircraft though. Have a look http://www.buckeyeaviation.com. Very safe and the absolute i...

Try Dominator Spares in Benoni. Their service was excellent when I needed tyres and tubes.

If your radiator is the highest point in the system the low point drain is a small 6mm bolt on the bottom of the water pump. This will drain all the coolant out of the engine. You can then refill with flushing water and drain again a couple of times. Distilled water would be best though tap water wo...

How much lighter or heavier is that undercarriage than the conventional trike? Can that wing/parachute then not also be fitted to a trike? The empty weight is 150kg and the total weight is 400kg. I suppose for the technical minded it should be possible to convert a conventional trike to take the ch...

Blue Max, Ek vermoed die ding wat Kennedy gevlieg het was 'n powered paraglider- dis die tipe wat jy as harnas op jou rug vasmaak. Daar word dan gehardloop om op te styg en ja met landing beslis wesenlike kans om beseer te word. Dit wat ons vlieg is 'n "trike"- 2-sitplek. Die vlerk [chute] word baie...

My 21 year old son, CJ, went on his first solo flight in a Buckeye DM on Wednesday 1st July. This was in Burgersdorp at 7am with an outside temperature of minus 5 degrees.
