    I left that out because I did not want to put the reg number out there but I guess it doesn't make any difference.

    It's all flat paddocks and lots of roads around here. I would have thought they would just pick a clear paddock or road to set it down . Engine trouble should not be catastrophic.

    Yes. It is vh experimental .

    what would the failure rate of modern jet engines be, is it even large enough to measure.
  9. BrendAn
    plenty of pushers i suppose because of 447 powered early trikes.

    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.

    don't know that nickname

    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.
  16. BrendAn
    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.
  19. BrendAn
    i don't think bmw would agree with you.
  20. BrendAn
    did they make a twin
  21. BrendAn
    sorry blue. i missed your post about the same thing.
  22. BrendAn
    should be able to download w&b sheets for your model of aircraft from the manufacturer. do the calculations before each flight .
  23. 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.
  25. BrendAn
    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.
