flymate Posted January 6, 2016 Author Share Posted January 6, 2016 G'day ...if you mean what I own, it's a Flight Design CTSW , but I fly many thing. The last 5 hours were on a Pegazair 100, which I had never flown before . On grass on Chritmas day, on snow 2 days after. I love to try new planes,, and Australia will be a good place for that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flymate Posted January 7, 2016 Author Share Posted January 7, 2016 Hi Marty It's even colder in Québec City where I am close to. ... a shock...we'll see .. at least I will have the sunlight. That's the point. I see you're building a 701 one of my favorite I was Zenair dealer ..long ago. I have 4 on my field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marty_d Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 Not bad where I am (Tasmania) but I was in Victoria last week and temperatures were in high 30's most days. I'm enjoying the 701 build in between frustration at the amount of time it's taking (building from plans, not kit). The HomeBuiltHelp sheetmetal DVD from your countrymen was of huge assistance in the beginning. Are the ones on your field all Rotax powered?

flymate Posted January 7, 2016 Author Share Posted January 7, 2016 There was one with a Jab 2200 smooth but not performing same as the 582. Now, there is one with a 582 ( I'm still training the owner) , one with the 80hp 912 and the 2 others with ULS 100HP . picture with the one with the 80hp 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bushcaddy105 Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 Gooday Jacques If you get homesick while in Oz you are welcome to visit my BushCaddy R80 - A great product of Quebec province. I haven't, however, taught it to understand French. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soleair Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 Greetings Jacques Nice field - cosy house, too . . .but not performing same as the 582. Now, there is one with a 582 Has anyone considered using an MZ202 instead of the Rotax 582? It's lighter & fan air cooled - and it's built in Canada!

flymate Posted January 8, 2016 Author Share Posted January 8, 2016 Hi Bruce, well as a Rotax dealer , I never personnaly considered them. In fact, it's been a while since we ( the canadian ultralight flying community ) didn't hear from them. So, not much I can tell you,sorry. Thanks for the comments Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
