Some more pictures from the visit

These pictures show the new position for the oil cooler on the Tanarg 912. The ES has the cooler fitted below the water radiator, but the older version had this fitted above the engine, causing very high oil temperatures at high power settings in warm climates.
Below is a view of the new position looking into the starboard (right) side of the air intake for the water radiator. I understand that AirCreation will offer a kit to relocate the oil cooler in this position.
Note on the picture above, that there are now some small aerodynamic aids fitted to the rear of the pod at the sides of the radiator. I am not sure what these are intended to do, but the ES model has much larger ones than the standard Tanarg. The first picture also shows them. I will contact the factory and ask.
AirCreation have a huge stock of aluminium tubing for the manufacture of the wings. The metal stock seems to take up a large amount of space in the small factory.
In this picture you can clearly see the aerodynamic bits on the side of the radiator, these are the larger ones as this is a 912 ES trike.
