Africans are really failing at reinventing the wheel. You dont make an airplane powered by a small four cylinder inline engine with steel and aluminium. You do it with wood, cloth, wire, and a few high strength steel pipes. That way, you can come up with a reliable and certifiable plane. This is simple copy pasting that does not take into account any serious engineering considerations or laws of physics. This shit they have made needs a 500-1000 horsepower radial configuration aviation piston engine and huge fuel tanks, which are beyond their financial and technical capabilitites. In addition, they made the plane in a simple welding garage without considering that a plane needs proper and strong jointry as well as good resolution of forces before deciding on the nature and form of the structure. Even with the engine and the fuel tank, this contraption would come apart at 300kmph. Too much hard work towards failure.
HEHHEHEHEH KANYOKA RELOADED WA CONGO GOLD ALIEANDA WAPI?
Much as his efforts are good, why reinvent the wheel? By now we should ve actively reverse-engineering some of these machines. Buy one, strip it down to figure out how it works then replicate it with no apologies (isnât that how the Japanese began?). Letâs leave R&D to the Europeans and Americans for now.
Hata hii stori ya Möbius was too long a route. In their shoes Iâd have chosen a totally different route: there were/are these cars that were and still are very popular locally: Toyota Corolla AE91 and AE100. Why not seek a Licence from Toyota to continue manufacturing one locally? The car already has an existing clientele and is already widely known which means not much marketing is required, as opposed to coming up with a totally new product which you then have to market, etc.
âŠmade the village very stuffy:mad:
Well, they are failing at that tooâŠspectacularly. Ofcourse we cannot invent the powered air plane. What am saying is that their copying is just dumb.
It takes passion, not education.The passion that this fellow has will take him further than a degree in aeronautics would.It reminds me of the Unjiru TV guy who started broadcasting in his single-roomed abode using a TV transmitter cobbled from discarded electronics. He cared not about the huge capital outlays needed to establish a TV transmission station nor the technical expertise required.The passion he had for broadcasting more than compensated for all his other deficiencies. For him, his mission in life was to own a broadcasting station someday, a dream that came into fruition through the creation of UTV.Today, the high school graduate counts among media owners, surpassing many other individuals with specialization in the field and access to capital.
The TV guy knew what he was doing and it actually worked through the simplest means. And do not think that the tv guy was bahatishaing with electronics, he knew what was happening with his circuits and knew is resources limit. This guy is taking the hardest route. It isnt hard to make a plane if you have got a light engine and the right approach using right materials. What he is doing isnt bad, only that the approach is headed towards failure and he could have succeeded with fewer resources. What the plane guy is doing is like the TV guy trying to launch a satelite for broadcast single handedly.
This would be a better trial:

Am just wondering, if the guy succeeded in making the plane and it flew, what was next? Aifanye personal plane? Abebe squad ya mombasa nayo? Aiuze? Ama aanze mass production of that wooden death machine to compete with Boeing?
Lets just agree he wasnât any better than the village boys who make mikebe cars. If he wasnât doing for fun, then he was. ⊠viscous.
Wee kijana, stop glorifying madness. Ukiangalia vizuri, hio ndege inaweza paa angaani without disastrous consequences? Your message to the boy should be simple; STOP REINVENTING THE WHEEL! R&D ya aviation technology wachia wazungu. Maybe ajaribu reverse engineering venye ameambiwa na Dr. Luther. Hii upuzi ya kuchukua gauge 16 iron plates na angle lines na kufanya welding ya jua kali ati uko na passion ya aviation technology sisi apana taka.
HeheheâŠsio lazima he commercializes the plane production per sĂ©. Perhaps along the way heâll come up with a certain discovery that he can then exploit on a day-to-day basis, kinda like the way the gulf war (allegedly?) gave birth to GSM.
He canât discover nothing new while experimenting with that kerosene powered thing. He will most likely die.
Na kamquot kako wapi?
Bus huyo ni mwenda mwenzako
Hehehe. True. The sense of accomplishment of building your own wooden bicycle is exhilarating.
