enyabmp Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 G,day, My name is Peter Bayne. Married with 2 grownup daughters and 5 grandchildren. All boys. I live in Babinda just south of cairns, Queensland. Always wanted to fly. Built a Benson gyro copter in my younger days. Got my GA license in 1987 and ultralight license and tail wheel endorsement 1993. Spent 7 years building Osprey ( a spruce amphibian). Project was abandoned and I started to built Kitfox. It's first flight was September 1993. I enjoy flying along our beautiful local coast and over the tropical country here. In may 2000, I, with 5 other sport aircraft, had a flying adventure, flying to flooded Lake Ayre, and crossing the Simpson Desert West to east. Kitfox is hangered at Frank Arri's property (Farri), 10 minutes drive. Look forward to plenty more trips in Kitfox. Peter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wayne T Mathews Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 In a previous life, I had the pleasure of flying with Greg Collins, who was known in the Squadron as Snilloc... Funny name for such a good bloke, but there you have it... Welcome Peter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pudestcon Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 G'day Peter and welcome, I checked out your kitfox at farri's place a few weeks ago. I think one of the photos in my album here titled Farri's Place might have your kitfox in the background, all folded up in Farri's hangar. Cheers, Pud Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
