Thruster88 Posted November 12, 2023 Share Posted November 12, 2023 These normally have a lycoming 320,360 or 390 engine. That one looks like a Subaru EJ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
facthunter Posted November 12, 2023 Share Posted November 12, 2023 Might be the one I've flown in. Had a very special Red. drive. They are quite a nice plane but I'd keep the Lycoming in it. Nev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was a Lancair 4p, normal looking circuit entry, went off end at speed on the second attempt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
red750 Posted November 12, 2023 Share Posted November 12, 2023 Only saw it for a couple of seconds, and it was a bit blurry. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyle Communications Posted November 12, 2023 Author Share Posted November 12, 2023 The Gastar was made originally with the suburu but he bought a Lycoming and was going to refit it I believe. I know he had just upgraded the wheels and brakes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onetrack Posted November 12, 2023 Share Posted November 12, 2023 (edited) Scott Reeman, a LifeFlight Rescue Aircrew Officer, said the plane was coming in to land on the private airstrip and “ended up somersaulting and crashing into a tree”. “It clipped a palm tree in a house yard while it was airborne and then cartwheeled end-to-end across the yard and clipped another tree,” he said. The pair were able to get themselves out of the wreckage, Reeman said. https://aviation-safety.net/wikibase/347798 The wreckage of the light plane that crashed in a Sunshine Coast backyard.

Kyle Communications Posted November 12, 2023 Author Share Posted November 12, 2023 From the pilot himself on FB only partial of hs post His wife has a few broken ribs and some vertibrae damage but will recover ok " So, we had been out for a pleasant morning flight up the coast. We were coming in to land a got a gust of crosswind that blew the aircraft to the right, I’d initiated a go around but clipped a tree which caused us to speared into the ground. Thankfully the Glastar has a very good safety cage and we were wearing 4 point harnesses." 1 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nev Do you mean as in more violent wx events due to ' climate change '? If I remember correctly this strip is uphill several degrees to the west - which would require your go round to be initiated earlier? Most pvt strip's only have a single windsock, often lost to sight on short final. Makes it hard to detect a late wind change. RLOC strikes again! 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
