Thanks for that sseeker,

 

What airfield was that? Did I hear a generator in the background?

Hi Pud,

 

This was at Bindoon. After coming back from some terrible solo circuits I was offered a flight in a Thruster - it was awesome! Gary DePiazza is in the left seat and he's currently a senior instructor at TopFun Aviation.

Sorry forgot one of your questions - yes there was some work in progress on a new hangar so it was probably a generator.

Is the T300 one of the training aircraft at Topfun or is it privately owned and you were just going for a joyflight so to speak?

Nope the aircraft belongs to Bob Shanks (He's currently selling plane + hangar for $25,000 firm) my instructor (Gary) asked the owner if he could take me for a joyflight and the owner agreed. Was basically just 1 circuit to get the feel of a Thruster.

 

Pretty sure if you own a Thruster the instructors can train you in it (TopFun used to own a Thruster so the instructors are all familiar), but you'd have to check.
