Hi Borries

Wat op aarde maak jy daar? Jy is besig om al die misdaad, korrupsie en verwoesting te mis! Gelukkig is hier nog `n paar ouens wat kan rugby speel maar ons krieket outjies sukkel so `n bietjie om die knoop deur te haak.

Good I hoped I wasn't too late for you some other poor souls have already made purchases. Can you imagine giving a customer a engine and then a check list for/ dont do's which reads
Before running your GR Pro Engine
1. Check that there are no metal fragments inside the motor
2. Check that both brass thread inserts are in the carb manifold and that one or both bolts havn;t been epoxyd in just to stay there
3.Check that the thread in the prop hub actually matches the thread of the hub bolts
4. After 5min of running take the prophub off and check that the key in the keyway slot is still in one piece
5. Take off and check that there is thread lock on the prop shaft cuase we cant remember if we did it at the factory
6. And last but certinatly not least don't stand in the line of the prop when the motor is running becuase they have been knowen to snapp keys and throw hub and prop off at full throttle.

Andreas I have made up my mind I will fly the DYZ 150 in the Edge at TOC this year
to with GR Pro. And you know worst of all they blame me for the motor not running at the trade show cause they say I should have check all those things ............... YA Right ....................

Hey Stu man you were right man should have listened to you buddy.........Do you know Glen Mathews? And what were you doing in Joburg thats a dangerous place.

Hey Andreas
The guy who is interested in the 107 inch yak asked for dimentions he wants to compare it to the QQ one. Also he deffinatly wants Dymond servos for his new plane so give me a good package price for him. Maybe you have heard of him ( Johnny Califato )
he was the owner of one of the oldest an d most succesful hobby stores in SA.
He flew a H9 260 At the LSA NATS with me and got the snot kicked out of him by the bigger planes. So thats why he wants something new.
