  1. it can get pretty bumpy close to the hills there and a northerly would make it rougher. temp was about 28 to 30 .
  2. do you think this might turn out be another stall spin on final turn.
  3. join your local aero club. get the club planes at a discount then.
  4. It did a lot of tight circles around. Maffra before heading over to upper Maffra . Might have been looking or knew people at the vintage truck show which was on at the Maffra oval.
  5. I left that out because I did not want to put the reg number out there but I guess it doesn't make any difference.
  6. It's all flat paddocks and lots of roads around here. I would have thought they would just pick a clear paddock or road to set it down . Engine trouble should not be catastrophic.
  7. Yes. It is vh experimental .
  8. SPECIFICATIONS: Wingspan: 7.92 m (26 ft) Length: 6.70 m (22 ft) Height (tricycle undercarriage): 2 m (6 ft 6 in) Wing area: 10.26 m² (110.5 sq ft) Cruising speed at sea level: 241 km/h (150 mph) Manoeuvring speed: 167 km/h (106 mph) Stalling speed, clean: 56 km/h (35 mph) Stalling speed, with flaps: 50 km/h (31 mph) Service ceiling: 3,048 m (10,000 ft) Rate of climb at sea level: 366 m/min (1,200 ft/min) Empty weight: 353 kg (778 lb) Loaded weight: 800 kg (1,764 lb. it has quite a low stall speed and 50knt approach.
  9. on flight radar there was a 4 seat morgan cougar circling at 400 ft @60 knts. disappeared after circling twice.
  10. there is a private strip on a farm in that area . another terrible accident.
  11. can you remove my post about the same thing. thanks.
  12. what would the failure rate of modern jet engines be, is it even large enough to measure.
  13. plenty of pushers i suppose because of 447 powered early trikes.
  14. i know where to get one but you will have to wait a couple of weeks. the bloke that has it is in hospital at the moment.
  15. great stuff
  16. Fully agree. We had the first haval jolion running around sale and looking at the later models they seem to have improved a lot. I didn't like having a cruise control that was unusable and the fuel economy was bad for such a small car . And the cf moto bikes get excellent reviews.
  17. We bought a new haval jolion and it was horrible. Couldn't get rid of it quick enough. Only good thing was the dealer bought it back for full price at 8000 km because of the covid waiting list for new cars.
  18. don't know that nickname
  19. wing and fuel tank repair but nothing major according to the club site. owners an l4 as well so he will have it back in the air pretty quick i would imagine. tyabb people should know the plane as well.
  20. could not ask for a better pilot in that situation. his plane too.
  21. the biggest hurdle i see for the zonshen in australia is how small our market is. i guess if raptures main reason for importing is to power their own planes it makes sense. any other sales will be a bonus.
  22. i don't think bmw would agree with you.
  23. sorry blue. i missed your post about the same thing.
