dazza 38 Posted May 19, 2010 Share Posted May 19, 2010 Hey Dazz,How long will it take you to drive from Boonah to Monte in the Patrol, I am planning to make it, but its a bloody long drive from Gosford. I have a plan, just trying to pull it off, I'll let you know. David Hi David, i will be leaving from the gold coast, its about (according to where is -site), about six and a half hours, driving, from my place. If you would like, you can come here on friday, so as to brake up the trip abit.She is a fair way straight from you place, i reckon. 567.7 km from my place give or take.

Guest DonningtonSmythe Posted May 25, 2010 Share Posted May 25, 2010 Is anyone from the Townsville area looking for a passenger (willing to share costs but by his own admission a "heavyweight" pax - not certain what the MTOW is of some of the newer aircraft!)? ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bushcaddy pilot Posted May 26, 2010 Share Posted May 26, 2010 Christian, Contact Chris Ungermann I was going to go with him to share the driving etc but unfortunately I lost out to the boss and some urgent house hold inprovements, personnaly I cant see the comparison , flying weekend ------digging a river bed out and installing a windmill??? Oh well I must obay.. Im sure he would still be looking for someone though , worth a try. Cheers Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spin Posted May 31, 2010 Share Posted May 31, 2010 Will be there in the Eaglet. That's the way to do it, spare a thought for us ground dwelling creatures - I'll be puttering up in the company tractor. When are you going up, Sat? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XP503 Posted May 31, 2010 Share Posted May 31, 2010 Yea I think so. Should be great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomo Posted May 31, 2010 Share Posted May 31, 2010 At this stage... should be there on the Saturday - considering no one has a major break down that is an emergency And should be in this - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spin Posted May 31, 2010 Share Posted May 31, 2010 Woohoo Tomo, a touch of style about that ship. See you up there - now to arrange the wx! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultralights Posted May 31, 2010 Share Posted May 31, 2010 At this stage... should be there on the Saturday - considering no one has a major break down that is an emergency And should be in this - Please tell me you traded the J120 for that!

Yenn Posted June 1, 2010 Share Posted June 1, 2010 That looks a nice plane Tomo. Pity about the wings and tailplane being at the wrong ends of the fuse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spin Posted June 6, 2010 Share Posted June 6, 2010 RA Aus have been fairly quiet on this subject - looks as though the last update on their site was 27 April or am I missing something? Does anyone know who is running the show on the ground - I had thought of volunteering my labour on one of the days? I have been involved in quite a number of similar events and know that you seldom have enough hands on deck, particularly those that can use a radio properly and know where not to push on aircraft. I see Chris Ungermann is listed as event manager, I would think though that he has quite enough on his plate atm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XP503 Posted June 6, 2010 Share Posted June 6, 2010 G'day Dazza, I'm going up with Jamie who owns the Eaglet, at this stage we are just going to fly up Saturday morning and fly home in the arvo, would have been good to stay but other commitments unfortunately. Hope to see you guys there and Spin I reckon you should volunteer surely there is someone you can call. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frank marriott Posted June 6, 2010 Share Posted June 6, 2010 I intend to be there and would like to put a face to some of the people from this site but with all the forum names even if I meet you I am guessing that I still will not know if you are a member of this site or just another pilot be it RA-AUS, GA or Airline. Not a big problem but it is nice to put a face to a name and obviously this site contailns a cross section of all of the above. Frank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAVID SEE Posted June 6, 2010 Share Posted June 6, 2010 I'll be there on thursday orvo, will be at the C.D.F.G. site (Callide dawson flying group) will have both the trusty old Lightwing and the Fisher there. Will be great to talk to a lot of you in person as this computer thing is a fair challenge for me. I put something on here and send it, then find out that I sent the damn thing to myself.:bad computer: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAVID SEE Posted June 6, 2010 Share Posted June 6, 2010 forgot to say will be there till monday morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomo Posted June 6, 2010 Share Posted June 6, 2010 Depending on the Fog and weather I hope to leave home at first light, so should be there around 8am - ish. If there is fog... well, I'll leave as soon as it clears! I'll have to be gone about 3pm, so hope to catch a few of you up there before then! And unfortunately it doesn't look as if the Lightning will be ready, so the trusty J120 will be my machine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yenn Posted June 7, 2010 Share Posted June 7, 2010 I think Myles Breitkrutz will be the RAAus man on the ground as he is nearly local, I am told Eugene is coming up and no doubt there will be others fro RAAus. I am looking to get there on Friday. Look at my Avatar to see what my plane looks like, it is better looking than me I'me like a gnome with a grey beard.
