Guest danda Posted September 20, 2007 Share Posted September 20, 2007 Troy I'm with you the Joey2 would be a fantastic deal I would love to be able to afford one myself with a 3300 Jab engine, my dream aircraft. Don Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest danda Posted September 20, 2007 Share Posted September 20, 2007 Before you thought about that one I would ask Gary about its condition, although I would love to have had the money myself then again the new Sierra looks as if it could be worth a second look 130+ sounds good to me.

Bigglesworth Posted September 20, 2007 Share Posted September 20, 2007 If you get it, I'll give you a hand to build it. (once I finish my Cheetah). I think that the Joey, like the Cheetah, is just miles faster than anything else in the same price bracket, same motor. I don't know how he does it, but Garry's plane's are better in almost every way than the others on offer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest disperse Posted September 20, 2007 Share Posted September 20, 2007 If you get it, I'll give you a hand to build it. im gunna hold you to that........but don't hold your breath.....MONEY NOT SO GOOD AT THE MOMENT......and mrs sperse even worse.. still just a pipe dream.....but if i dont get it im comming out for a fly in "Cowboy up" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest danda Posted September 21, 2007 Share Posted September 21, 2007 How's that Cheetah going anyway I look forward to the time I can see it in the sky. I'll bet that the day it hit's the skys the only that will not be able to be removed will be your big smile. Don Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigglesworth Posted September 21, 2007 Share Posted September 21, 2007 She's coming along, and you are all welcome to come for a fly, estimated finish, about another month and a bit, things are getting fiddly now.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mathew Ker Posted September 22, 2007 Share Posted September 22, 2007 Still interested in the Joey2 Like Disperse, I'd still like to hear more about the Joey2. The numbers sound terrific and as someone who would like to fly cross country, it seems perfect. Why is it so good? Why is it's price so cheap (for kit - seems very reasonable for the performance)? Any forums or suggestions for those aspiring to build one? Regards, Mathew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigglesworth Posted September 23, 2007 Share Posted September 23, 2007 It is good and cheap because it comes from Morgan Aeroworks, and Garry runs on a very small profit margin. I think (but am not sure) it comes largely pre built, just enough to get through the 51% rule. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoff Posted September 24, 2007 Share Posted September 24, 2007 Is there any Joey2's flying yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Posted September 25, 2007 Share Posted September 25, 2007 The only thing I know about the Joey is that Rob (Ultralights here in the forums) was very keen on one several years ago - perhaps he may have more info on them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slartibartfast Posted September 25, 2007 Share Posted September 25, 2007 I just talked to Garry (I'm back in Canberra this week). He says there are 4 flying and another being built. There's one in Leeton with a VW engine, but he heard it's being sold. Another with a 912 in Qld, 1 in South Africa, 1 in Tas. I forget the rest. He can still supply a kit. He has enough bits on hand for 2 more. The build time on the Cheetah is about 1/4 that of the Joey. The Cheetah Sierra is nearly finished. The wings were painted yesterday, the fuse tomorrow. Should be flying in a few weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest disperse Posted September 25, 2007 Share Posted September 25, 2007 the one in QLD with the 912 is for sale in this month's mag (half built). im very tempted , just working on the money first to see if it's possible. and if that works i'll go for a look ?????

Guest disperse Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 I'd love to hear more ..... piccy's too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yenn Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 Gary does have good aircraft and also good prices, but the Cheetah and Sierra are his own design, while I think the Joey 2 is basically a KR2 which has been modified. Please correct me if I am wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
