LATEST RENEGADE Er NEWS FROM THE HOVER STUDIO The new liquid cooled Kohler 775 engine has been air freighted in from USA and onward dispatched to Clyde and Ian in Perth where it is currently being set up in a motor cycle chassis for dyno testing. Once all performance figures have been collected then the modifications will start. We've got our fingers crossed that Clyde with Ian's support, they will be able to turn this humble de-rated engine into a world beating power plant !!! This weekend, Owen's ex-hovercraft partner Paul will be at the hover studio to assist with skirt and fan development. (A big weekend of playing in the hover pen) New fans that we will be evaluated are expected to arrive from Germany very soon Thanks to Magnus in Sweden we received Skirt material samples which Sam Waugh will make up in our new design for evaluation. Arthur will receive this Bulletin monthly and add the details to the website. To keep everyone in the loop , we intend to report progress on the 1st of each month leading up to event.
