Re: Some factory projects
Very nice looking - presume Bush Baby? Has that undercarriage been made stronger in the last couple of years?

Re: Some factory projects
Hi Rotor Kop
These are Explorers. The one after the Bushbaby and sister ships to the bigger Safari.
Regarding the gear, problems have been seen where the uninformed strung the bungees too tight, bending axles, gear legs and in the worst cases damage to the fuselage itself. Correctly rigged the bungee gear is more than adequate in coping with hard landings. For those still unconvinced we do also offer the expensive and heavy Grove gear on initial or re-builds.
I see you are in Badplaas, just around the corner
pop into the factory at Komati anytime.
