Next project a two seater with the passenger in the rear facing backwards (back to back with the pilot)

Pretty hard to have a engine failure in a glider Oscar

When serving with the RAF at RAF Seletar, Singapore, I watched a twin Pioneer LAND backwards on a very windy day.

Is that a tail dragger or a nose pusher.

My 4 year old daughter asks "Why don't the people have any bodies?"The aircraft is designed for No bodies.

Welcome to the Forum it is good to have overseas contributors.

Kenya please send some photos..

Well 2hrs even went to 3500 to do the stall tests yelled several times but no reply?

I did hear your shouting but I have a bit of a sore throat so I was probably shouting back on the wrong frequency.

Alan.

Give us a call when you reach 2,000ft on your first flight.....just a loud Yeehah!! will do as I shall probably hear you from my house north of Adelaide.

Alan.

Well I really did get a brand new plane plus some rough sawn veranda posts which will need smoothing.

Alan.

Yeah thanks Nev (it was auto correct by the way) Yes they seem to be a solid little aircraft , not sure how many of the MK1V's are around (4 VH registered in NSW I believe ). It appears the only difference between the MK1V and the MK4 ( which are the same value of course, why you wouldn't call it a MK5 Nowbody knows) is I think a folding wing and a little bit less span I have been told, maybe Alan may know? being an ex SupaPup owner.Steve.

Alan.

Bet it was still fun though...[ATTACH=full]47304[/ATTACH] Just get a couple of these....all good

Alan.

Gday have just purchased a SupaPub with Jab 80 hp but have not yet flown it (flap model 1V). I have owned a tail dragged before and have flown several others over time but was just wondering if anyone has any time in one of these? Would like any feed back as to their characteristics.Thanks

Steve.

I know that it was a typing error but please don't attempt to fly your ' SUPAPUB'

Alan.

I am very jealous of all your 'ground looping' exploits and very disappointed that in all of my flying including many tail wheel aircraft I have never ground looped so I have not been able to get my 'groundabatics' endorsement. Now that I cannot fly anymore I am having to swing on my trusty Hills Hoist. .

I would really like to see some rag and tube pylon racing. I've seen video of it with X-Airs in Portugal. I reckon it would go well with Drifters too.

45 minutes to complete one circuit. '

My wife still has two lights on the headboard of our bed, green light is Clear to land and the red one is for Runway out of action do not approach.

Alan.

I believe that any stall warning device has its merits however, during stall training it is good to be able to switch off the audible warning which gets louder and louder and often stresses out the student as he or she waits for the impending drop out of the sky. A quiet stall is much more relaxing. The same applies to a first time deliberate spin entry.

Just my opinion.

Alan.

I know exactly what happened to this engine but I am not telling you until my 'theory' has been proved. .Alan.

Plenty of head room indeed,but you would have to fly from the rear cockpit or you would hit your head on the upper wing. .

Alan.

My two most basic aircraft were the Tyro and the Swing Wing but I still did a verbal check list as if I was flying a Beechcraft A36, it just about covered any aircraft that I was liable to fly and

I never forgot the list.

Alan.

Hi Paul,

Brilliant aircraft, highly recommend.

Alan.

Hi Henry, are you still flying out of Gawler?

Alan.

Don't worry about the lumps, did that marshal manage to stop the aircraft with those two sticks before it hit him? .

Alan.

Back to the Brumby Post, thanks.
