FlyingVizsla Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 I am still GA - C152 - but it is in bits getting a very sloooowww refurbishment & SIDS inspection, but also RAA. We have a very basic Wheeler Scout (wing needs recovering) which my husband is now too heavy to get off the ground, so it is all mine ... and a Lightwing (with an instructor), a home built RANS S7 Courier and a home built Karasport which is over 20 years old and RAAus has only just asked for plans and data set, so it is sitting there waiting for us to draw & calculate. There's a point where too many aircraft means more time spent working on them and less time flying. Right now the balance has swung to nil flying to 100% working. That's probably the down side of RAA and being able to build and do your own maintenance; its a temptation to fiddle around endlessly. Our aim is to actually fly in to a fly-in, something we have not managed for a few years. How about you - what is your chariot of choice?

kanga Posted April 13, 2014 Author Share Posted April 13, 2014 Well, thats quite hard for me to say,all round I would admit to a fondness for the Cessna 152 Aerobat , then again I quite like the Victa 115 , you see I like anything that has a reasonably crisp control reaction. HOWEVER, If I had a money no object choice, I'd take a Beechcraft king air 350 anytime. That would qualify as a lotto dream , back to earth , be a bit hard getting that on RA rego I think. So I will try not to seem to be too much of a pain in the questions department. Your wheeler scout has a sister at my place, together with airframe and wings of a Winton jackaroo none of which have flown for yonks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

planedriver Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 Welcome to the forums Kanga. Great to have you on board mate:cheers:. Out of curiosity, do you hail from the UK originally like me? The reason I ask, is that when I first arrived here decades ago, I used to say "Good Day" to everyone when the Aussie way is simply G'day. Still means much the same hopefully, but I believe in the old saying "When in Rome do as the Roman's do". Not having a shot at you at all, but if this the case? Hope it helps you becoming Ausified. Look forward to hearing more from you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
