Hope you enjoyed yourself and glad that all the extremely hard work paid off :)-Andrew Thanks Andrew, How did the Bindoon event go yesterday. A couple of guys from Northam went over in a Jab and said there was a really good turn up. Pud Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riley Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 Hell Pud, had we know you were really gonna put the beast in the air this weekend, Bindoon probably could have arranged with Whitehall to re-write history and delay the Battle of Britian Day commemorative fly over until a date that was convenient for you to lead the parade in the Thruster. Kidding aside, heartiest congrats on finally strapping it to your bum and levitating. Witgh a bit of luck, Pommie John & I will get over to Northam to see you/it before you relocate to the farm strip. cheers Riley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pudestcon Posted September 12, 2011 Author Share Posted September 12, 2011 Well I could put it out there on a Poll but that's a bit frivolous!!!

The Baron Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 YESSS!!! :big_grin::thumb_up::thumb_up::thumb_up:I knew it was a good omen when I read all your good wishes this morning. I now have 1.6 hours in MY airplane, and don't it feel good:rilla::rilla::rilla: She flys very well with no unpleasant characteristics. It took me a little while to get back into the groove, seeing as how it was June last year the last time I flew a Thruster. Went with the instructor for a few circuits until he was satisfied I still 'had it'. I need a few more hours of circuit bashing to get real confident but I'm up for it:laugh: I've got a couple of video clips I need to edit and I'll post the end result here if somebody tells me how to go about doing it. One very happy puppy:thumb up: Pud PS The bloody gate takings were miserable!! A couple of old geezers snuck in the back way without paying and that was it!! Good onya Pud, Thrusters Rule!

eightyknots Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 One of the most important mods I want to fit is a secondary means of elevator control (a good trim tab) which is usable from the cockpit in the event of an elevator cable failure. Call me paranoid, but an elevator failure could be terminal. You can never be "too safe", David. It's all about managing (minimising) risk factors. When do you think you'll get airborne in her (it?)?
