My thoughts exactly! Thanks Morph

I received the following message in my Microlighters mailbox. Frankly, I don't like receiving unsolicited mail. More particularly this type of discounts on items etc crap, is annoying. Imagine every single member offers his/her products into your mailbox. It would be chaotic to say the least. I woul...

Yip Gunter. I have a choice of two, of which one is the Double Eagle (first of type) and the other is a Pietenpol GN1. Not ideal, as I would have preferred plans for a 2-seater wooden fuselage that is not a first of type and can be flown on a MPL. Unfortunately the VP2 is not a real two-seater and l...

Thanks Morph! I will do so this evening. I thought of phoning you, but realise that your mind is probably somewhat pre-occupied with getting airborne. Good on you for sorting out the BOSBEFOKKER's prop issues. I am holding thumbs that all goes well from here on. You are an admirably patient person. ...

Could someone please supply me with contact details for an AP in the Cape Town area, with whom I can discuss plans, mods and the build project in general, for a rag 'n dope A/C? I am particularly looking to interact with someone who GENUINELY knows the facts and knows what he is talking about. It wo...

Thanks for all the input Guys! I am expecting the plans to arrive shortly. Jan Potgieter in Rustenburg has built his fuselage out of aluminium and I'll find out more about that when he is back from abroad, later this month. I'll certainly look into the Diesel option, simply because I will shortly ha...

Eish! Now I'm disconfusalated. But yes, I think ZS-VIX has a Continental 0200 mill.

So Guys, any thoughts on the perfect prop setup in terms of size, pitch and maximum rpm with a car conversion engine?

Thanks Weedy! Makes sense!

Thanks Duck! Would that include the old RS 2000 engine? Direct drive or reduction drive? Any ideas what these would weigh with radiator and water? Maybe I should have another look at the VW with the prop on the flywheel end as per Great Plains/planes catalogue, and have the valve seat mods for unlea...

Tailspin, all you need now is an Italian sportscar, Boet! At least then you will have an idea where to look for the problems. :lol: I basically need to get into the air and true to the Piet's design parameters; chug along low and slow. Yip that's about it for starters. Are you suggesting something l...

What's the status now; For sale , withdrawn or what? VW, ja-nee boet. Me thinks, if I want to look for sh1t, I'd much rather get a red-head skelmpie. That way I'll definitely survive if her rev's drop unexpectedly, or she "goois" a con-rod, snaps a crank and so on. :twisted: . Thanks for the info an...

Guys! Would those in the know please share which engines work best in a Pietenpol please. Anything except the Model a Ford engine would be of interest to me. Thanks

Just a question; Is it possible to over-salt Sharkmeat? :twisted: Naah, just kidding. Even us Bulls okes must admit that the Sharks played like winners and definitely contributed to a great victory for S.A. rugby. A great pity that there had to be a loser on the day. So now on to Springbok rugby and...
