Good morning Niek
I am currently building a Zenith CH750 HOPE to be finished June 2015. I will also be installing a BMW 1200 GS with a Take-off reduction drive.
If possible I would appreciate if I could see your installation. Where are you situated and where do you hanger your aircraft.
Kind regards

Re: Niek's BMW Explorer
My arie is nou by Richard Nicolson in Nylstroom - ons gaan nou daar aan sy 40 uur begin werk. Ja, ek het met Rainier se hulp die CHT's ook aan die werk gekry!
Stefan het vir my nuwer sagteware ens. opgelaai, - maar in die proses die Rotex 912/914 inligting opgelaai! Die CHT's van die Rotex werk anders as die wat ek van MGL af gekry het en dit is hoekom die IEFIS hulle nie kon sien nie - hy het gesoek vir die Rotex sin. Ek het eers gedink my sensors is kaput, maar toe laai ek hulle as EGT's, en toe sien die IEFIS hulle - met die regte temperature! Na ek die regte vliegtuig (2-6Cyl OT OP) opgelaai het werk alles! (My RPM spring nou rond en lees nie heeltemal reg nie - volgende probleem!
Die prop wat Stefan intussen vir my geleen het, lewer nie baie krag volgens Richard nie, so ons wag nou in spanning dat die ouens van IVO-prop moet ophou met party hou in OSHCOSH? en vir ons, die CS - prop wat ek by Stefan gekoop het, aan te stuur - hulle het ook blykbaar 'n problem gehad met die verskaffing van die skroef se motor eenheid en Stefan is besig om sterk met hulle arm te druk - ek hoop hy wen!
Ek heg 'n foto aan van die arie op die trailer met sy vlerke toegevou - voor ek hom Nylstroom toe gesleep het en ook 'n foto van hom voor Richard se loots.

Re: Niek's BMW Explorer ZU-FXE
Niek collected his aircraft on friday by road. Still has to fiddle a bit to get the engine monitoring to be done by the efis.
Some more small things has to be sorted before the big day.
At least it is with him in Pietersburg so he should get it done in no time.![Blahblah ($$)](./images/smilies/blahblah.gif)

The engine instruments was not working to my satisfaction so i asked him to get it sorted before we take to the skies.
He decided to put an Ivo variable pitch prop on and had to get that sorted.
Fuel flow from one tank was an issue and had to be fixxed.
Only once everything is sorted to my satisfaction will I fly it.
