farri Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 Mr frank..........is your strip useable any time, or prior notice needed to slash it etc etc...??????russ G`Day Mr Russ, I keep my strip/s well mowed! They are available any time other than when it`s raining, as it is at this moment. No landing fees either! You can give me a call if you wish, (o7)40675253, but not necessary other than to check weather conditions. Cheers, Frank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maulonir Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 G'day Maj, I am currently fitting the pink machine with the 912 you put me onto. I built a single seater to keep me in the air while I did the change over. Still have a bit of work to do before the pink machine is ready to fly again. Hi Frank, When I finish fitting a prerotator to the single seater I will drop in. regards Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philthy Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 Yeah I remember a bitumen runway. Rwy 16 at Sydney Kingsford Smith . VH-AMK, with a b''dy DC-6b right up my rear. My fastest was about the same as his stall speed. Just a bit distracting. If I sent him around I might have got a fuel bill. I wonder where that plane is now? AMK... Nev VH-AMK (the Auster, presumably, not the DC-3) is still registered to an owner in Inverleigh, Vic. Doesn't get out much, so probably undergoing a rebuild.

Philthy Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 Thanks Mr Thy..seems all the Austers I flew are still flying Nev They seem to be remarkably long-lived aeroplanes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
facthunter Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 They can be rebuilt almost for ever. They rust a bit near the tailwheel and have to be spar checked and recovered occasionally. Nev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
