Finally: MY own Bushbaby Explorer

[Boet]

Jaaa, helium in sy tyres sal ook help!!

[KFA]

Cowling is op pad.

[Boet]

Dankie,

Aly vir backplates is gesny, en 2 Madonna bras gemaak! Ek ry gou Kaap toe. Maandag weer terug.

[KFA]

En....nuwe cowl al op?

[Jean Crous]

Ja, en so n ou fototjie sal ook nie sleg wees nie

[Boet]

Nou hies vi jou n ou foutotjie. Ek haal nie by my errie nie. Is al donners gefrustreerd. Elke naweek met familie sake besig. Dinge nou so soort van onder beheer. Sal nou maar sien.

[Jean Crous]

Jo ! Boet daai enjin lyk darem regtig smart ! Ek hoop jy gaan hom gate uit geniet.
Groete
Jean.

[KFA]

jy gaan die exhaust moet opskuif tot amper teen die engine en dan die silencer bietjie na firewall se kant anders gaan gaan die silenser onderkant van cowl vang

[Boet]

[Boet]

And finally, after a bit of tinkering and welding, silencer system nearly completed. ( Ran out of gas ) Not long now. I went for the 2 in 1 system, it leaves the underside of the engine uncluttered for cooling. More space for oil cooler and radiator. But dog-tired. Going to collapse now.

[Jean Crous]

Ek het al gehoor van " Boer maak n plan" maar.......hier lees ek van " Boet maak n plan "
Very nice
Jean.

[Boet]

Nood leer bid en armoede leer planne maak!

[Boet]

Tonight is cold enough to freeze the crown jewells right off a brass monkey. I wanted to work on my plane a bit later, but my feet on the cement floor, and the temperature inside the workshop dictated otherwise. Progress is a bit slow, but hopefully I will get the last things on the to do list completed this weekend.

[JvTonder]

Baie netjies Boet maar jy gaan nog damn baie spyt wees oor daai plastiek prop, waar is Oom Piet se boomstomp jy weet mos beter teen die tyd

PS: Lyk baie mooi en jy amper in die lug

[Boet]

Jaaaaa, ek weet van die prop, maar het die een saam met die enjin gekry. Sal maar kyk wat aangaan. Die enjin het nog die ou 2.27 ratkas, maar ek sal blykbaar die bank moet gaan berowe as ek so dapper wil wees om vir my n NUWE 2.43 gearset te wil koop!! ( EN die Antie uitja op prostitusie!) Most of today spent on finishing the exhaust system, most of the wiring sorted and the bracket made for the radiator. I am taking my time with this installation, as I want it trouble-free. Today was another bloody freeezing cold day here, with NO rain. I tried in vain to heat the paint booth up, bit the bullet and spray painted the cowling. It actually came out allright, exept for a little paint run, fortunately where I am going to put some red trim, so no problemo. It is hellishly difficult to paint in such crappy cold weather. Nou kooi toe. Ek het die elektriese kombers op no 3 gestel, en die antie op nommer 12. Ga nou lekker rus!
