Well Piet builders and pilotsWe had a mishap during our flying this weekend, the plane is officiallyground till she has been repaired. As you can see from the pics enclosedthe blade let go, causing such a vibration that the engine mount isbroken in two places, the fuselage also broke in two places. Well now that she has to repaired let me ask this, on the pax cockpithas anyone installed a door similar to the old tigers (to assist withthe entry?). Cheers for now Norman StapelbergPS also enclosed is the fuel system shut off valve________________________________________________________________________________
