Hi Guys,
I have a Bushbaby project for sale. I was going to re-build it for myself but I just do not get the time.
Unfortunately I don't have pictures as it is packed away. I will take pics soon as I have space to unpack.
It is a nose wheel Bushbaby with the extended fuselage. It had an engine out due to a blocked fuel flow meter that was installed before any fuel filters. The nose wheel bent but it did not tip over. We stripped the fuselage and did the repair to the floor, firewall and all other SB's. The project is nearly 100% complete. The wings and control surfaces are still covered and painted. This is more of an assembly job rather than a re-build.
What is included:
- All the structural parts to re-build/Assemble
- Rotax 582 with about 250 hr's on
- Complete airframe with some parts already covered and painted as mentioned above
- Instruments including radio except for the ASI and Slip.
- Hydraulic brakes
- New nose leg with brackets
What is needed to complete the project:
- Fabric to cover the fuselage.
- Paint and dopes.
- New prop
- ASI
- SLIP (ball)
- Repair the bottom of the cowl
- Cut new Firewall
- I would replace the windscreen as well
- Any new upholstery you would want on the inside.
- Time to do the work.
Cost of all this is about R35-40K
I am selling the project for R120 000 incl VAT. This is the perfect opportunity for someone that want an affordable and safe plane. The project is available for viewing at the factory. e mail info at saplanes .co.za.

Re: Bushbaby project for sale
I now have pictures of the project. Please e-mail me and I will send them via e-mail or whatsapp. Too many to post here. Looking at it now, the project requires much less than I initially posted above. Chance for someone looking for a bargain.

Re: Bushbaby project for sale
I am considering using the engine for my trike project so I will consider R100k excluding the 582.

It is also available with a (2009) 248 hr Rotax 912 ULS. Price is R255k. This will include the engine ring and engine mount with mounting hardware. The old cowlings should fit with little effort.
