    i know where to get one but you will have to wait a couple of weeks. the bloke that has it is in hospital at the moment.

    great stuff

    Fully agree. We had the first haval jolion running around sale and looking at the later models they seem to have improved a lot. I didn't like having a cruise control that was unusable and the fuel economy was bad for such a small car . And the cf moto bikes get excellent reviews.

    We bought a new haval jolion and it was horrible. Couldn't get rid of it quick enough. Only good thing was the dealer bought it back for full price at 8000 km because of the covid waiting list for new cars.

    wing and fuel tank repair but nothing major according to the club site. owners an l4 as well so he will have it back in the air pretty quick i would imagine. tyabb people should know the plane as well.

    could not ask for a better pilot in that situation. his plane too.

    the biggest hurdle i see for the zonshen in australia is how small our market is. i guess if raptures main reason for importing is to power their own planes it makes sense. any other sales will be a bonus.

    interesting.

    i don't think bmw would agree with you.

    did they make a twin
  12. BrendAn
    sorry blue. i missed your post about the same thing.
  13. BrendAn
    should be able to download w&b sheets for your model of aircraft from the manufacturer. do the calculations before each flight .
  14. BrendAn
    not everyone wants a v twin. boxers have a nice low profile for applications like xairs and other high mounted engines.

    It's a pity they don't build something like a half 912. There is nothing much available in the 60 HP range since Rotax ended the 582 engine. A lightweight 4 stroke would be excellent.

    Why don't you have a look at the video on making these engines. This isn't one of the old Chinese style setups. They look very well made with the latest technology. Show us an engine,A vehicle or just about anything that has no Chinese parts. I don't know of any.

    I agree, that's just one example. It will take a few years to get a solid reputation.

    a bit off topic. sorry skip. but its worth watching to get a first hand account of a fire at 3500 ft.

    All I can tell you so far is that there are nearly 100 hours on the engine with no trouble whatsoever. Fuel consumption is right around 4.5 gph and it consumes barely any oil at all. It's as smooth as any Rotax I've ever flown behind and there's no indication that it'll be any less reliable. I'd fly behind one any day. this was the reply when i asked this bloke about the zonshen , going very well so far.

    fixed the battery problem
  23. BrendAn
    they were talking about the shocking{no pun intended} resale value of evs yesterday. so bad that many car dealers will not trade them, i think a lot of the problem is the fear of the battery pack failing puts people off used vehicles.

    Wish I had deep pockets. That's why I fly rag and tube. Even that is expensive when you add up all the costs. Just payed my raas membership this week. That along with rego is nearly 600. 50 lts if fuel for a mornings flying is over 100 for avgas and the thousands on training. You have to do the full $10000 training even if you only want to fly around the airfield at 50 knts. RC models are looking good again. Those new cameras you would think you were in the cockpit anyway. Rant over.

    all this money you are trying to save is hard work. why don't you take your list to bunnings and see what they have. 912 powered bunnex😁
