Ok time for my own little project. Just finished buying this Airframe less motor as that is basically all I can afford right now. The airframe has basically been already refurbished by Gunther the guy I bought it from and all fasterners etc. are new AN spec. Currently has no registration - I expect a long visit at CAA to sort that out. Will take pictures of when I collect hopefully this weekend and then progress as we go.
Here are some pics that I currently have.

We have/had
a single and a dualstar at Morning Star and they are lekker little aeries.
Talk to Braam Hechter or Andre Swanepoel at CAA. (Check the Ramp Inspection post for their contact details)
Good luck

Morph thanks for that. Is there any chance you have contact details or know where those other dualstars are currently?

Looks like a blunderturd.
ENJOY...
PS
Am sure Andy K will be able to assist. He had something similar standing at Petit many moons ago...

Looks like the one I saw at Fisantekraal about 2 months ago...
Stephan: If you want some of the pix I got for technical stuff PM me and I'll email them to you.
I think the pilot also flies a Bantam...

Yes all the pics you have you can mail to me -
stephan.vantonder@macsteel.co.za
The registrations is what I need as well - then I can try and get hold of owners but at least have something to work from with CAA as far as getting manuals and certificates.

Thanks Graham. Yes pretty much like a bantam - just easier to get into. A jabi motor would be nice but way out of my budget currently. My good friend Andy has a low hour Rotax 618 for me currently that fits the budget better. So right currently the items I really need is E-gearbox and starter and a prop.
Decided to simply install a MGL ultra horizon xl for instruments - will be cheaper than buying all the single gauges.
