Great Questions!

Good Afternoon!

A major part of my role for the HoneyBee G2 effort is email. I really do enjoy that responsibility although on some days there can be between 50-100 emails coming into jim@honeybeeg2.com (or info@honeybeeg2.com or Fly-A-G2@honeybeeg2.com)....from all over the world.  I take this part of my responsibility very serious and when a HoneyBee G2 follower asks some really good questions, I often want to share my responses with all of you.  Now that the role of the Blog is to serve as more of a diary on what's going on, let's begin that process right here and right now!

One HoneyBee G2 Fan asked....

Q1.    Can the upper mast bolts on the Ultralight and Micro be repeatedly removed to allow storage in a garage? 

A1. Nylocks are good for about three - four cycles and then the lock is really not adequate any more.  The answer gets better, please read below...

Q2. What would be the max height with the mast either removed or pivoted back on one remaining bolt "if the mast were to be partially unbolted"? 

A2. Below 8’ so that it would roll into the average garage. For those that need this type of solution, we have been working on a folding mast for the 2PT; you should see it at Bensen Days.  The Single Places (including the UL) should be ready by Mentone & Oshkosh. Any frames that are delivered between now and then can be retrofitted.

Q3. Will there be provision for oil injection in the future, especially for the Micro?

A3. Most engine manufactures do not have an oil injection system although there are some that do.  With the ROTAX 447 (not oil injected) & oil injected 503 gone, ROTAX has totally bailed out on this side of the business in favor of the 912 Series. MZ does not offer this kind of a solution for either the 201 or the 202.  It is not our current plan to create this type of product for the industry.  As many of you know, we have been working on a 4-Stroke solution for our UL and Microlight frames.  Again, we are hoping to have it ready by Summer 2012. It takes a ton of money, time and attention to do this; thank you for your patience.  It has been a long time in coming but it will be worth the wait when we have it done.

Q4.  I like you’re new website, everything is very professional!

A4. Thank you. We do take a lot of good healthy pride in what we do. We are thankful that you enjoy it! 

Take care,
