    Does anyone know anything about Jdandaboo airfield. It’s north of West Sale in the East Sale control zone Danger area. For that matter, has anyone got pointers about landing at West Sale? I want to broaden my horizons, and I have a friend lives down that way. thanks, Jenny

    Mike, this shows some of the internal structure. We just put old carpet for the floor.

    It’s from David Gill greenhouses in Bagshot, Vic. Not too far from Bendigo. And, yes, wed love the idea of visiting you at some stage, and seeing the Nynja?

    Good thought!

    I also think this is a brilliant site. Like many others, I don’t post much, but there is often questions others ask that I find interesting.

    Yes, the poles in the front are only a guide for the door, and to provide support for the door in windy conditions. It is not supporting the hangar at all. Very simply undo 3 ties which attach to upright poles on each far side of outside edge of hangar (these ties are to stop wind flap), then lift out 4 guide poles and push the plane out. We live at the base of my Buller so you can imagine it gets all kinds of weather here and quite hot in summer, never leaked, split, torn, very happy with the whole product. I believe the fabric is called canvacon ? I do get a bit of condensation on the wing tops at times when it’s foggy. OME windbreak turbulence doesn’t seem to be much of an issue, although I do tend to fly when there’s not much xwind. By the way, thanks for the advice re the fuel. Drums nearly finished so are considering not refilling it and just keep a jerrycan on hand. Whats a suitable way of cleaning out a drum so it can be used in a horse paddock?

    Ok, OME I actually do appreciate the info and have learned quite a few things which I really didn’t know, nor had really thought about. And I did think you were half having a poke at me, but wow, my initial reaction when you said “busted ... the epa will be paying me a visit” I thought heck, are you for real. So , yeah, just a tad worried, I do know councils and govt departments can go a little power crazy? thanks everyone else for backing me up, but I do think we all should realise there’s always rules for a reason, and litigation often follows... I know I’m lucky where I am, and had a beautiful fly over mt Buller this morning. Hardly any snow left though☃️

    Love your reply. Reassuring, was quite unsure for a bit. Thanks kgwilson. ?

    Are you for real??

    We push it out, turn 90degrees away from hangar before starting it. After flying stop again 90degrees to hangar opening, turn it around and push back in. Guess you could nose or tail in, we’ve always done it this way. The hangar is augered into the ground So, in theory, isn’t a permanent structure. This is in case the councils ever start getting involved. The front is the door which rolls with a winder. There are guide poles that can be seen in photo that are removable. they are from David Gill hothouses in Bagshot, Vic. Not expensive, and can be different sizes. Mines 6m deep and 10m wide. good luck, Jenny

    I’ve had my hanger for 5 years now. It’s actually a greenhouse, but has handled all weather thrown at it. australian made, although we erected it ourselves.

    Now to choose what instruments to put in.

    Thanks Skippydiesel, it’s really been great hearing everyone’s ideas, comments and replies. I appreciate the time you have spent to share your knowledge. What a great forum this is!

    Thank you, John. theres a lot more to choosing a new plane than I ever thought!

    Skippy, just looked at the ATEC zephyr a few faeta ng. Good looking aircraft there and excellent performance figures.

    Danny, no never been for a fly, but have a friend who just finished building one and I think they look awesome! He loves it, and has promised to take me up soon.
  20. shajen
    Looking great, bet you can’t wait to fly it now!
  21. shajen
    That’s a huge difference. Makes me think it’s going to add a lot to ongoing costs at 17lph.

    Wow, the fuel injected uses heaps less fuel. Didn’t know that!!! Interesting ?

    You’re right Scott, am looking at the Bushcat which I guess will be quite draggy as it’s a very wide fuselage and sailcloth wings. But it’s more that I’m looking at a totally different aircraft and want to be sure that I’m not creating headaches for myself. Cheers

    Thank you Downunder, you have answered all my questions. Seems many smaller aircraft do fit the Rotax 912 as standard, and don’t hear of too many issues. My husband says it’s a more modern type engine than the Jab, mare technical, as you say, bit more like a motorbike engine. Cheers

    How about some photos where you’re up to?
