Hi Vliegvark,

Brilliant looking aeroplane. How is it like flying without a profile tube? I notice your pod is also nice and low.. (awesome visibility). I like the wide track - reminds me of a Landrover for the skies.. (Hope it is more reliable than Landrovers though! :D )

How about posting the story of "Vliegvark" and how she was designed and built under our Technical section? There is also very little general info on BMW engines out there...

Welcome to the forum. I wish you and your trike thousands of happy hours.

Fanie

Maybe a cruiser

Postby vliegvark » Tue Apr 24, 2007 10:07 am

It's more like a cruiser that a landrover ( not your fault they my pet hates)
no profile tube is right it's all in the pylon and the frame ( not my idea stole it from DTA) I will right a little story maybe once a week I am a builder not a writer and only if there is no remarks on the spelling.
on the BMW engine I will talk forsure I think is one of the best engine there is
and there is a computer box that we made to run it wich will also work for 912 rotax or any motor that you whant a fuel management system but I will talk about this to

and thanks to all the welcome from every one
