Hi Paul, we have had a couple of Visions built at Serpentine. One had a
Subaru engine, reg VH WRX, and flew OK, though the airframe was a bit
heavy. The other is still under construction and has 6 inches added to
the cabin height as the builder is about 6’6” tall. Rs, Dave McCandless
in Perth
Dave: You don't have contact with the builders or possible contact
details of the flyable version of the Vision.?The builders group is not
a very active and only a small group sharing there experience.
Will contact you in private for the details. Forgive me Paul for
reaching out on this group ,as to get hold of our family of builders.
Much appreciated.

The Internet and this newsletter never seizes to amaze me. Le Roux and
Dave are just across the Indian ocean from each other. And I am on the
exact opposite side of the globe
You guys can use the newsletter. I am sure there may be one or two more
Visions being built on here.

Hi Paul and Le Roux, Nice Depiction of the Oceans. Give me a day or two
and maybe I can get some pics. The guy who built the flyer has passed
away, but the airplane is still around. Rs, Dave McCandless in Perth
I have Vision plans. But I've never had the time to actually build it.

Back in 2011 Pierre Swanepoel from S. Afica (I think) was building a 13b
powered vision.
Here are some 3D's and pictures
Paul: This is my firewall dimensions for the Vision Ex.After these
drawings and the new universal engine mount the following.
Can you help with new drawings for my 13B with the (universal mount)
With dry sump engine 90 degree turn(plugs up mount)
Must I move the engine mount points from the current position inwards to
have the side-rad to fit in under the cowl
Thanks Le Roux Breytenbach
The Vision is a plans build plane from the USA state IL Pro-Composites

Why are you doing plugs up? The oil will drain out of the rotors and
main bearings better if
it is in the normal position. I would only do plugs up if the end
plates and center housings
were designed for it.
Looking at the firewall from the front it is best to move the left side
mounting hard points
top and bottom in about 2 or 3 inches.
That gives more room for the cooling radiator. It is easy to laminate a
little more
wood an the back side of the firewall to stiffen it up in bending. That
will only be necessary
for the top mount. You can also bolt in a 1/2 inch diameter steel tube
running to the joint
between side skin and instrument panel if you are worried about it.
Here are some 3D's from the Tango a very similar airplane.
