DAVID SEE Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 Keeping my eyes on the classifieds for a trailerable single seater.... Cheers for now. Hi Locky, welcome to the site. I have a Fisher 303 (which my wife tells me I'm selling) I fly the Lightwing all the time, and the Fisher is just sitting in its trailer, it's a great little plane, I haven't flown it for a while now but have said to my wife over the past couple of months that I should get it out and at least fly it over to the neighbours to give it a wash as its getting a bit dusty. It's a low wing taildragger in a fully enclosed trailer. If you would like any info. and pics. of it then email me on [email protected] or ph. 0414832946 Cheers Davo.

Sapphire Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 I am looking for a single seater though I am probably far from Frogs Hollow. That looks like a half vw engine in it? Can it be assembled quickly by one person? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Locky Hill Posted June 27, 2012 Author Share Posted June 27, 2012 I was wondering a minute ago about this sites organisers, is it manned voluntarily? I have already met some good folk here, not to mention catching up with yo, A little supercat of FLYERME has my interest and I was scratching my brain for a South Ozzie who new planes and would deliver a balanced assesment,why didn't Cpt.Kevin Frost come immediately to mind?...... No, but seriously, Cheers mate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers mate,Locky Hi Locky Well its good to hear from you yes time fly,s. Callum is 20 and 6ft 6 fed him fertilizer how about your family what are they up to. Sounds good living on a boat we did it for three and a half years on a 50 ft ocean going yacht, what sort of boat do you have and how does Sue like it. Have the kids left home yet. The plane you are picking up is it a super cat and how are you getting it home. The j230 needs at least 600 mts and you have to have things go wright but to be safe you need at least 800 mts . Do you still have any property or is the boat now home. I looked up sherlock and it is only 40minutes from here as the j230 sits on 120kts usualy but you would never land one on a 300 mt strip. Where are you going to keep the plane when you get it back home. How is your shoulder going as you were having quarterzone injections in it when you were here. I have retired now as im heading towards 70 now and have just had both knees replaced and there not going to well yet hoping they get a lot better. Let me know when you are ariving as i might be able to get over to Murry Bridge if we can get over the hills and it is not to far out of your road, i would think it would be 20 to 30 minutes from where you are and then you would head to mannum and on to Mildura if not we will have to try and catch up some other time. Say hallo to Sue and the girls for us . Regards Ray and family 0400713996 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
