flyerme Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 awesome. A couple of days ago I finally had my first airbourne visiter. A beautiful 6cyl fuel injected Jabi from wellington made a perfect landing on my 300 meter strip,Put it down with ample room spare and after some hanger talk watched a magnificent short take off (100-125 mtrs) no words can describe my joy in seing a plane (thats not my own) land here,,truely made my day..thank you so much. :beg:been waiting patiantly for someone to fly in.... of coarse I had to emediatly ring my Pa,my Dad and any one else who'ed listen. .lol 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

damo Posted June 15, 2012 Share Posted June 15, 2012 I was part of a group of around 8 trikes which flew past there five weeks ago. We had a total of 11 trikes on a trip over to the Grampians and Swan Hill, a couple finished at Lameroo and one headed back to Gawler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flyerme Posted June 18, 2012 Author Share Posted June 18, 2012 looks like you have a race track next to your runway. that would be correct..its not visable anymore it used to be a moto-x track but google earth have not updated the image from 2009. but you can just make out the old runway running almost parallel with Peter rd , sth under red marked strip.

Guernsey Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 Are you going to bring in a large roller to compress the stones ? Alan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyerme Posted July 1, 2012 Author Share Posted July 1, 2012 Are you going to bring in a large roller to compress the stones ?Alan. I wish ,I made a small 5ft multi-wheel roller that I tow behind the ford,I did it last night after a heavy rain and its set like a sealed road,its old road rubble been sitting for around 10 years (left over from when they sealed a road here) it has a grey heavy dust(like concrete?) that seems to set it like concrete,...been informed by Pa that when its finished the old chemical drum markers will be removed and some nice new markers put in there place,also he wants me to build a shelter ,and tie down area(I thinks he planning an airshow here?..lol) ahhh more work. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guernsey Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 It should work well as at Truro Flats we have many tons of the same sort of road rubble which was removed when the Highways Dept renewed the road between Truro and accomodation hill. We have used it on the roadway linking all of the hangars. We are fortunate in owning an original LARGE deisel road roller which we also use on our grass runways. We had it all delivered free because they wanted to get rid of it as much as we wanted it. Alan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
