The length did not worry me and now that you have rolled and graded it I will land on your strip next time I'm up your way and you are home.

I reckon that our illustrious RaaUs rep Ed Herring should visit you in his Powerered Parachute after all to be a good rep he needs to visit the members personally.008_roflmao.gif.692a1fa1bc264885482c2a384583e343.gifAlan Marriette.

Now that would be a real treat,never seen one other than on a screen,,,shouldn,t have any probs with the strip... and just got back from leeton NSW picked up my new x2 447's for my supercat and the old quicksilver..can,t wait to fit the new rotax in and see if the supercat runs,if have the same issue it can only be the prop or fuel delivery..anyway bung it tomorrow..

Hey Flyerme, would love to take a (road) trip over to you and check out your new strip with the 'chute one day. Be good to check out the Supercat and Thruster as well

Excuse me diving in, but couldn't help notice this thread, as I was only just driving through Sherlock a couple of weeks ago.... I saw Sherlock Hall, and I guess the houses must have been Sherlock Homes!!! Sorry, I bet you get that all the time. But your post has confirmed that I really did see a brightly coloured Super Cat hiding behind the bushes as we drove past, (my dear wife thought I was seeing things!) If I ever get the Savannah in the air I might fly down that way and have a better look.
