Thanks for the kind words Andycap.
ZU-DZI has the 100hp 912 ULS and inflight adjustable Woodcomp prop fitted.
She is an awsome little bush plane, to see more pics please click on my www button.

Hi there all - my first post on this thread. I fly my Bushbaby from Morning Star - Built here up from zero with some help from Boet who did the test flight (4 years ago now!). Rotax 582 power suits me fine - she is much more responsive than her heavy iron brothers!

Hi FAWGie - Dramatic pic of CFD! A bit of a cheat as we were flying along the edge of the mist - clear underneath! Its amazing how a bit of cropping can make a pic look so much more dramatic! I am past the days of flying over 8/8th stuff. We have a bunch of trike pilots at MS who insist on taking off into the mist - well one day it will bite hard!

Anyone interested in starting a BUSHBABY thread?

I have started a new posting dedicated to photos of BB owners pride and joy - the pics should be of you and your baby in some exotic setting! Lets try and keep it alive!

I learnt to fly at Microland and my first rike was an Aquilla 503. I am temporarily living in the UK and fly a P&M Aviation GT450, which has to be the best flexwing on the market. I have stuck to my old Aquilla colours of yellow and black, which gives me good conspicuity in the busy UK airspace.

BRILLIANT PIC CFD!! If you ever come to the UAE you can come and fly with me in my Samba, since I had such a nice flight in your baby last year!
