Ahhh no it’s not France, I’m Down under , in Straya mate !

Flyingbaz, Rock on ! Thank you

Heavy in the ailerons, pith and rudder are great tho. thanks for the advice, will give it a go this weekend.

Thats it, ASI and VSI are not accurate and want to replace them. flys awesome, heavy on the roll but Ill get used to that, want to get my instruments right so I can fly it better. My friend Brock flew it up from Shellharbour last week, his words in flight were ( this thing is awesome and makes a Bushcat look rubbish ) I was going to build a Bushcat but glad I didn't now, especially with them not being made anymore.

Ok boys and girls, ive just bought 19-8285 and moved it up here to Heck Field, I want to make a new instrument panel, does anyone have a blank template for the panel ? Ohh and im a Pomme, thinking of changing my name to, the whinga with a nynja. 😛

Looking for a low hour wing, can collect from anywhere

I have had thoughts of taking the canopy off !! However I flew for about 2 hrs at 6am last week in only a tshirt !!!!

Yep, thats what Erol told me, seems too good to be true !! ??

My thoughts were that "who knows who wrote them" somebody from the factory ect, thought i would post them anyway, Head in the clouds has a very good point !!!

Hi Guys, Im also looking at the Bushcat taildragger,, Im a little skeptical at the moment regarding stated performance, took one out for a test flight yesterday and loved it, 70/80 knts doors off stall clean around 40, 1 notch and 2 notch no different at 36ish. very very comfortable , i am 6ft 110kg and it was the most comfortable plane Ive flown !! Erol tells me that all the new models come with VGs which will lower the stall speed by 8 knts !!!! However, Im not trusting too much about what the manufacturer says,, Im based at Heck field and know Erol very well, he is a really nice bloke and most if not all that he has stated has been true, but also a salesman with a business to run. If I order it will be very nice to know that there are people around me building at the same time. Decisions Decisions, Im also looking at the Savanaha VG XLW Found this info below too, all for now. Mike Bushcat/Cheetah I’ve installed your VGs on my Bushcat/Cheetah airplane and I couldn’t be happier. The test was conducted with an instructor and both of us are very impressed. Before: - Vs 50mph -Vs1 45mph -Vs0 40mph The stall had no buffet warning and the nose dropped suddenly. Flare a bit too high at the landing would be a hard one. After VGs installed on the wings only: - Vs 38mph -Vs1 35mph -Vs0 30mph The stall had a buffet and a gentle nose drop. Power on stall had a brutal nose drop. Soft landing, great low speed control. After VGs installed on the horizontal stabilizer: Vs 35 mph Vs1 30mph Vs0 30mph The stall has no buffet anymore and no nose drop. Instructor not happy about this configuration for a training A/C. I glued mine with marine silicone and I don't know what the UV resistance is. It might not be long term reliable but that was the only glue which worked for the trilam. Conclusion: it worked on my aircraft! The improvement in lowering the stall speeds is dramatic. As well as the behavior at low speed. Liviu, Namibia, Africa

I will give you 2k for it, only because i have a spare motor !!! I know you said you wanted 3.5k but its just not worth it. Let me know ?

I love the Jabs, just know for a fact that the idiots at the Jab factory need there arses kicking !!!!!

Watts Bridge has a great reputation, just too far, I have been traveling to boonah and caboolture to hire aircraft and its just too far for me. my budget is 25k

Cheers Dazza / Phil and everybody else, by the way Phil I am a pom from Congleton and used to be a member at Arclid International near Sandbach, we used to fly flexwing trikes out of there. Seems like we have a few jokers on the site GREAT Im a little sick of hanging with old blokes at the airfields with no sense of humour,,, you get that alot over here Phil. The days at arclid messing around were great fun, anyways ive gotta find hanger space and Jacobs well is not only full but the new landowner is trying to close them down, its in court very soon.
