Radial Bushbaby Project - Da Animal (Jnr)

Postby peetv » Wed Apr 08, 2009 10:03 pm

Boet, after talking to you this morning I think it's final, Da Animal (Jnr) is going to see the light, I got my hands on a half built 50% bushbaby and from the same bloke I got an 128cc 7Cyl radial motor, hence the birth of the Da Animal (Jnr), will post some pics this weekend of the bushbaby

Boet, with your help and photo's I will try my best, I will post some pictures as I go along. Just need to complete a 25% mustang first for an client

attaltitude - a new engine like this will set you back about R45k, I was lucky, I swapped it for a 106CC model engine

Peet, what scale size is Animal Jnr , about half?
I have a 1/4-scale J-3 Cub. The bigger, the lekkerder they fly nê!
