Does anyone fly thrusters in Western Australia? 0458928000

Thanks for the info  yep that is in the to do list replacement of all perishable items such as mounts,rubbers, hoses, ect .I also want to upgrade the cht and egt gauges and maybe put in fuel gauge and flow meter any other advice it all helps

cheers Damien 

I check the bore of this engine it still has cross hatched in the cylinders and looks like new piston rings as the previous owners son who advised that the engine was rebuilt but only ran up for testing purposes 

one step closer any other information that you guys with experience think  I need to check or advise to work on ??

Unfortunately I think Pud may no longer be with us, and wingtech have closed I believe. Not sure where you look but keep us posted if you find someone.

No dramas thanks for your info 👍

Alan of Wingtech retired October last year and sold off all his  factory machinery and managed to use up the last of his sail materials inventory.  I was fortunate to get the last full set he made, cost me $3970 delivered to Rockhampton. He also included repair swatches of material for me.  I have heard nothing since of anyone advertising Thruster skins since.

Bugger that’s not what I wanted to hear glad you got some though.. and that price is good for piece of mind .

oh well I’ll keep looking cheers guys

Any decent sailmaker, such as Taskers' should be able to make you a set of skins, especially if you have the old skins for a pattern.

 

I know Taskers in Western Australia can do them.

 

Pud

 

 

have you had them do some ?

i would like to get a full set if the price is right

Damien, I no longer own my Thruster. Suggest you ask Stuart (Thruster 88) or Extralite ( Craig, I think).

thanks

Yes the stainless steel part that joins the wing strut and the wing lift wires to the wing front and rear spar. They would almost certainly have been replaced if wrong type however never assume anything with aircraft.

Damian, your plane has the Swift pod developed by Tony Hayes. It attempted to reduce some parasitic drag and be a little more aesthetic. Nice to see you re-building, have fun, Don

thanks don do you know if your still able to get new skins for these ?

Who in Western Australia is the best rotax rebuilder ? I believe that it has been done but would like to have it checked for my own piece of mind

I believe that they are correct this is the mid wing brace and wire connection 

Is this the leading edge and tail edge strut contact points mid wing? 
thanks guys 

Is this the plate facthunter ?
