bexrbetter Posted October 15, 2014 Author Posted October 15, 2014 We are coming up to a major Foreign Investment Convention in our City from the 23rd till the 27th and our Parties would like to make our public announcements then if we get everything into place by then. 2
Oscar Posted October 15, 2014 Posted October 15, 2014 Bit of a let-down from your promise of news in 1-2 weeks made on July 25 that hasn't materialised, but jeez, that's how these things go, eh? We'll be looking forward to some serious, 'take-it-to-the-bank' stuff.
bexrbetter Posted October 15, 2014 Author Posted October 15, 2014 We'll be looking forward to some serious, 'take-it-to-the-bank' stuff. If money had anything to do with it you would have seen something a while back, I am far more interested in getting other aspects in place and not needing to do it all over again. I wouldn't be too concerned, Camit will always have a good market for those who want air cooled, direct drive engines, I'm out to stick thorns in Rotax's side. 4
facthunter Posted October 15, 2014 Posted October 15, 2014 How's the "D" Motor performing? I've had a look at the Rotec Radials. They are built for a nostalgia market Some of the radials built in past times are less than good. Has anyone used/seen a Salmson? or a Pobjoy? Nev
Soleair Posted October 15, 2014 Posted October 15, 2014 Has anyone used/seen a Salmson? or a Pobjoy? Nev Yes, I flew (as a pax) in a 1929 - ISTR - B.A.Swallow with a Pobjoy. Beautiful engine, complete with Piezo electric ignition! (Plus ca change, plus c'est la meme chose). Bruce

bexrbetter Posted October 20, 2014 Author Posted October 20, 2014 looks different Yup, I was wrong. It is a BMW M70 SOHC V12 1
PA. Posted October 20, 2014 Posted October 20, 2014 Yup, I was wrong.It is a BMW M70 SOHC V12 [ATTACH=full]32518[/ATTACH] and BMW own Rolls Royce. Like putting Chevy badges on your Commodore. :)
bexrbetter Posted October 21, 2014 Author Posted October 21, 2014 and BMW own Rolls Royce. I've had the pleasure of thrashing the hell out of a RR Ghost, all 600hp twin turbo BMW power. Being a bit heavy it was slow off the mark (relative, most cars wouldn't live with it) but once it gets up around 160-200kmh, those 600 neddies and just massive torque get to work rather well and not much would keep with one. 1
bexrbetter Posted December 28, 2014 Author Posted December 28, 2014 Hows your engine shaping up? As the Rooster said; Eggs-cellently.

Bikky Posted December 29, 2014 Posted December 29, 2014 Bex, those electric cars look very much like Lightburn Zetas to me.
Jabiru Phil Posted December 29, 2014 Posted December 29, 2014 Hi Bex, Like most of us here, we are waiting on news of progress of your Engine. A few "asks" lately, with no worthwhile reply. I can appreciate your secrecy for business reasons. However you mentioned numerous times to watch this space......??? Phil.
bexrbetter Posted December 29, 2014 Author Posted December 29, 2014 Read it ! Said the frog. Answering the Chicken Librarian who asked "book, book, book?" ... Bex, those electric cars look very much like Lightburn Zetas to me. My Dad worked for them way back then! The bulk of the electric vehicles made were tourist park type buses, 9 t0 19 seaters. We did a run of VW Passats for a driver training school as well as they didn't need to go over 50kmh, which was lucky because they couldn't anyway! They saved the conversion price in fuel in the first 3 months on each. 1
