Building the new Bushbaby SAFARI

[Trikenut]

Boet; As a very famous sculpturer once said: "I did not create this. The sculpture was in the rock all along, I just had to chisel the stuff away to find it!!
Try tis with the next fairing you do!

[vliegvark]

Boet ek moet vir jou se^ hy lyk sommer baie lekker ek ek weet dit is nie kinder klei wat jy mee werk nie en ek dink hy het zoeper uit gekom ek kan nie wag nie

[Boet]

Dankie Janneman Ons het hom vandag dik gelcoat opgeverf. While the gelcoat is setting we got very busy with the test of the work. We have had a very full day, but we have also finished a LOT of work. Lekker slaap.

[Boet]

Today we did the mold layup. It`s gotta come off the plug tomorrow. Pray the dang thang `aint stuck. Haven`t even started yet, an my nerves is in tatters. What looks like a foggapie under a tree, is just so we can get to the bottom of matters. . All the loose bits for this airie has been completed, so wer`e going to gooi this `un together real quick....... that is after we finished digging the Bee Em out of the foam. Remember: Der is a enjaaain in them there foam!

Eish, but you guys can talk a lot of nonsense. Today was D-Day. The molds came off without a hitch. Perfect for making nice cowlings. Phew Then we had to destroy the plug to get the engine out. THAT was a major shitty job. I am itching like a flea ridden cur. I HATE fiberglass. Very versitile stuff,-- untill you start sanding or grinding: = itching powder. Nasty While me and Esteban was labouring away with the cowling, Willem carried on regardless. He covered a lot of stuff for the other aeries already. This aeroplane building is interesting, you work your backside off for days on end, not really seeing what you are making, untill all the loose parts start going together. Only then you see what has been happening.

[Boet]

Pushed wromg booton again.......

[KFA]

Very nice, well done.

[Oupa-G]

I'm so glad the engine is still in there meanwhile the B team in The Fairest is doing it's utmost to keep up with the A team in Loeries but these O'ks are moving at such a fulltime pace that it is hard to keep up playing part-time however it is a wonderful feeling having six remote hands and the communication is so excellent that it feels I'm doing the job myself, except it is done better
I salute Boet Estiban And Willem and do not forget the not so silent partner of Boet she keeps the books and spoils us on every trip we have made to Loeries thank you Annie. The grapevine tells me when Boet is fetching his eldest daughter she is coming back from soutieland , the new cowling will be dropped so that the Bos-OTT can get its proboscus.
Life is exciting
