I have been out in the woods scouting for remote and primitive camp sites. I found couple but of course now it would be hunting season. Cool enough to keep bugs at bay but you can not camp dispersed in hunting season.




January I hope to be spending some time in the woods.
I will be camping period mid 1700's to 1840s, no modern gear, Lean to type tent trapper style, fat lamps cooking in the fire, and of course sleeping on the ground.

CAMPING

Finished mounting Rotax Engine I installed studs and rubber vibration mounts.



Completing some of the flight controls.







I'm working on flight controls, I need to get that worked out so I know where to mount some of the engine components as not to interfear. Rotax is oil injected, water cooled so I must mount radiator, coolent tank and oil tank. I was hopping to go with Air cooled Rotax, I do not like mixing oil / gas, so oil injected little extra weight with water cooling still hoping for Part 103 outcome.

Little extra power from Rotax 467 can't hurt over the 447. And I got great deal on the 467 as it was complete engine less redrive.
