James Geale Posted May 8, 2016 Share Posted May 8, 2016 Just wanting to know if anyone knows of any builders of the Murphy Yukon / Moose in Australia? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
facthunter Posted May 8, 2016 Share Posted May 8, 2016 It's a pretty large aeroplane. I heard reference to ONE sometime ago. I can't recall where. Nev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yenn Posted May 8, 2016 Share Posted May 8, 2016 Gary Spicer at Masonfield Gold Coast had one, maybe still has it but I don't know if he built it. He asked if I wanted to see his ultralight and then opened the hangar to reveal the Moose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nev Yes the Yukon is around the 182 size but you can fit them with the io390 which makes for a nice float platform. I'm just wanting a bit of information about the building process and support program. James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
facthunter Posted May 8, 2016 Share Posted May 8, 2016 Yes it's like a Murphy Rebel on steroids.. I can't imagine why someone would wish to make one when there would be Cessna equivalents that perform well particularly with STOL kits, that you could refurbish with less work and money and have something of value.

facthunter Posted May 8, 2016 Share Posted May 8, 2016 Do you think you will live long enough? This stuff takes years to build and you always make a few mistakes that you can see (and hope others don't,), nev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lost power on takeoff from Mason Field. mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yenn Posted May 9, 2016 Share Posted May 9, 2016 That clubhouse looks familiar. I did a conversion to fly my RV4 with Gary. Did it in a different RV7, with glass cockpit. It was a bit odd flying from the right seat, so the throttle was on my left as per the RV4 and the instruments way over out of my vision. Garys own RV7 was being repaired. The rudder pedal had broken and he ran off the runway whan landing. Sorry to hear about the Moose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ave8rr Posted May 9, 2016 Share Posted May 9, 2016 Garys aircraft is infact an RV6. It was built by Gary in NZ and he flew her over when he retired from AirNZ to the GC. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
