Wozz 3D Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 Hi All, My Name is Warren Hall and we have 2 x 850m grass airstrips east of Mount Macedon in Victoria. The Moni motor glider is ready to go - building a hangar to put it in. I'll fly anything with wings - watch this sport - very addictive ! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wozz 3D Posted August 8, 2012 Author Share Posted August 8, 2012 Hi Neil We are at 539 Bolinda Darraweit rd Bolinda - so 5.4kms from the lancefiled rd. 100 acres backing onto deep creek. Strips are 850m north, 850 North West and 500m South West. They usually drain well - but pretty damp at the moment. I fly Rod Birells Storch when I can, the j3 Kitten, Pegasus and Moni are at Yarrawonga at the moment. Thinking of getting a Rans S10. Ph 54285459 or email [email protected]. What are you flying at the moment ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deskpilot Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 What's with the squiggles along side your strip? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultralights Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 Looks like someone had a few beers while mowing the strips! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wozz 3D Posted August 9, 2012 Author Share Posted August 9, 2012 Ah yes you were not supposed to notice that. Chasing Rabits with the Tractor is not very productive but its a lot of fun. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What are you flying at the moment ? Hi Wozz, I fly a Gazelle (as in the Avatar) , and I must have flown over your place a number of times. I can't make out the strips on Google Earth, but the images are pretty old. What's the Lat & Long of your strip? Flew down to the coast with a mate the other weekend, but it is so wet and windy at the moment that flights are few and far between, unfortunately. Yeh - am familiar with Rod's Storch, although I have never flown it myself. I learnt in the Texan with Terry. The Rans S10 looks like a very potent aircraft - are you intending to do aero's?

eightyknots Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 What's with the squiggles along side your strip? Taildragger taxiing practice most likely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wozz 3D Posted August 9, 2012 Author Share Posted August 9, 2012 Hi Neil, I would have seen you fly over - really like the Gazelle - I did some hooded spin training in one with Bill Lane - I'm sure it pulled out of those itself ! No Aero's on the horizon - but I do like nimble planes. I had a KR2 (VH OMV) for a time and still miss the roll rate. If it ever stops raining, here is some strip info: Yellow windsock sth of cross hairs. All grass - pretty good surface - some undulations. Dark green areas indicate slightly soft patches at times. Call for Mowing report if you like. Air strip cross hairs 37°25'47.91"S 144°48'30.53"E Taxi down Nth-Sth and park near the kitchen for a cuppa. Watch out for the dog when taxi-ing near the house Strip detail: Nth - Sth 850m use able- best surface from the house going north. Terrain - up hill section starting from pine trees heading nth for 30m, The southern 300m is just a little rough still. NW - SE 850m - best near cross hairs - 100m to SE of x to 400m NW Terrain - a slight lateral dip to the sth 80m from NW end Vegetation - 2 small slightly soft areas either side of runway 100m from NW end - easy to see via dark green grass. SW - NE 450m - Uphill section heading SW - 20m SW of cross hairs for 20m Terrain - a little rough near the SW end Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deskpilot Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 Ah yes you were not supposed to notice that. Chasing Rabits with the Tractor is not very productive but its a lot of fun. What sort of tractor/mower can keep up with a rabbit AND cut the grass at the same time. Don't just say A FAST ONE. I think Ultralights is nearer the truth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wozz 3D Posted August 10, 2012 Author Share Posted August 10, 2012 Well I never said I caught the rabits. Gee you can't get away with much these days ! My Tail dragger skills could do with improvement - but I hope Im not that bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guernsey Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 Taildragger taxiing practice most likely. That's not practicing, that's quite normal for a taildragger. Alan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
