Devastating news....Henk, your thirst for adventure was an inspiration to us all.
Will never forget the memorable experiences we all shared in Inhaca Island just two months ago.
Until one day my good friend.

Hello Helga It`s great to see that you already in Namibia and that you living out your dreams, (^^) I just Hope that this is the last crazy idea in that bucket-list of yours. (I don,t think we could handle the stress of another one of these vhpy )You are proving to be a real tough Cookie!! Please ta...

Landed a Samba on RNW 20 on Sat and was pleasantly suprised as to how smooth and neat the RNW was.
It is obvious that the Klip boys are trying hard to bring the field back to life.
Now all we need is Mr Caneco to organise a fly-in/breakfast.

The engine management on this one is straight out of a R1100S " Bosch" The wiring harness was made by Take-off to suit the instalation.

Here`s some photos of a Raptor with a Take-off Box and fuel system. This motor is from an R100S. On a trip to Moz. we averaged 7.4Lt / Hr while the 582 Cobra was burning 17Lt / Hr The new R1200GS motor is fitted with an internal balancing shaft and it is turbine smooth. "Take off " also supplies a d...

....... can't believe I fell for that one! :oops: Don,t feel bad, at least you were a good sports. In the U.S. and the E.U. 2 stroke engines have been banned due to stringent emission regulations. I think that 582 production will soon cease. The good news is that Rotax will be underpressure to repl...

Acording to the manual it looks like it needs to be inspected at 600Hrs and replaced at 1200Hrs.

I finally got My 582 Red top with closed loop fuel injection.
I`ll post some photos soon....

Where would you love to emigrate to if you had the privilege and why? :roll: Do you think it will be achievable in the next 3 years or so? :? :? :? Speak out or for ever hold your peace. :twisted: E.G.B.O.K. Read this months edition of the "MAVERICK" magazine to get an idea of what is really going ...

At first I fitted one but under hard climbing with a pax and full tank, the oil
temp used to climb up to 120 deg. Now it runs on two oil coolers and it runs perfect, also remember, unlike the Rotax 912 this engine has got a oil thermostat so that it never runs too cold.

The box is a sliper cluth type and is made by TAKE-OFF in Germany.
They use these motors for trikes,fixed wings and hovercrafts.

I did the installation of this brand new BMW 1100cc / 100Hp on this raptor. Manfred Springer did the mountings and brackets. It runs on a digital fuel injection (BOSH DME ) and it uses 7.4Lt per hour. It has a electronic altitude compensator for the ignition timing and fuel mixture. we have had zero...
