Seeing some amazing stuff with the family in Mozambique. Flying a Bathawk with my buddy, bush pilot extraordinaire, Janneman Conradie. Yesterday, with the rest of the family in a Bell Jet Ranger, flight of two low over the park. A few pics here. Some more pics and video to come when I get back.

Nice pics.... I especially like the shot of the chopper with the sun behind it
  Very nice  I hope you are not missing your new turbo toilet too much? Must be hard for you reverting to toilet paper, now you are used to getting your butt blow dried?       _________________ I do all of my own stunts..... most of them are even planned!

It's good to be you Lofty!
Enjoy my friend. That is a beautiful place for sure.   _________________  A walk in the woods helps me relax and release tension. The fact that I am dragging a body should be entirely irrelevant! A simple thank you would have been enough for the morning coffee without all that "how did you get in here" nonsense. |

That's a massive donk on the front of the fox bat
 What is it? Is that a rotax 915?  Sure is a big mofo a few horsies to spare    _________________ I do all of my own stunts..... most of them are even planned! Ok, Ok.... some of them are planned.. If electricity comes from ELECTRONS, then surely morality comes from MORONS?? |

Looks like a Jabiru 3300.

elwood wrote: Looks like a Jabiru 3300. 120 horse pressure Actually it's a Camit 135 hp. Camit apparently make the engine for Jabiru, and Jabiru make some mods on theirs. The aircraft is called a Bat Hawk, I think that's also a mod of the Foxbat. Bat Hawk are a South African company. They are trying to expand into the US market. The guy we flew with in the video, Janneman Conradie, and the owner's son Terry, are with me at the moment in Florida. They are exploring bringing in 51% kits and looking at being based here in Deland. Should have one of these aircraft here in the next few months. Looks like I may be a little involved in the aircraft business - guaranteed to make me poor.  They reckon they can bring these in ready to fly at $45k, so they are sure they can be really competitive with 51% kits. Really a great performing little aircraft, and very easy to fly. Also assembly, maintenance etc will be very basic. I think they can really mimic what companies like Autogyro have done with 51% kits that can be ready to go in a couple of weeks. |
