Why not a Tecnam Golf?????????? Willborne.

I have a Golf with MTOW of 544 just had it registered. I do have a type certificate stating 544.

Yeah Alf sit around the same as you have quoted

I use it to with the same result

I am based in Casino and try and avoid taking off on runway 28 as much as possible. Landing on runway 10 is also a worry with vans and motorhomes everywhere. The van park is a giant pain in the $$#@ and you end up using runway 10 for TO and 28 for landings even when the windsock is telling you not to. Willborne

Awesome gotta love the Sierra. Willborne

Looks like a great club and $5 breakys - yahoo. Will be a supporter for sure.

Got to say it that why I like the BIG centre stick in the tecnam.

I've flown a 80 hp Echo and yes figures are correct. As already stated their climb performance won't be as good. Build quality and design is second to none however I am a little biased. Very well balanced controls with excellent feedback. Willborne.

Unbelievable, can't believe he is gone. Goodbye Wayne we will miss you mate. Willborne

Alf my Golf's manual states electric fuel pump must be on in all modes of flight. Go figure. Willborne

Let me know when you have finalised course BP I would like to be put through the ringer (so to speak). Willborne

My Golf has a reinforced rib going over the canopy. In training I was told to release top lock before impact. If inverted kick the perspex out.

I have a problem with GA CFI's working to a different standard to RA CFI's. Get real cficare.

Hi BP, Have you had the same hassle with registration renewals for the Tecnams at the school? Mine is due in a month and don't fancy being grounded for god knows how long. Willborne.

Lucky,brave buggers.

Maj, The Operating handbook for my Tecnam Golf was amended to leave the boost pump on at all times. However I have a fuel pressure gauge. I must admit to leaving it off (by mistake) once when on cruise for an hour and it operated no worries. Would you know why I would have to leave the boost pump on all the time? Willborne

Luvin it.

RIP and condolences to family and friends

Next to no mobile phone reception over much of the search area. We have a farm based right under the search area south west of Gympie near the Muster site. Mostly native and hoop pine plantation country with cleared valleys in places. We don't live there presently however many of our neighbours have been out searching forestry tracks by vehicle and horseback. Willborne.

No I would still think you are allowed to land and get fuel, just can't walk around air side,toilets etc. The whole ASIC card issues is an assault on our democracy. Willborne.

Hi Blow, I've have a plane based out of the Casino Airport and member of the club. Russell the Club Pres might be able to put you onto something unless he has brought it himself. Wilborne.

Hi All, I'm looking at replacing my wooden prop on a Tecnam Golf with a alloy or carbon fibre type. Even though it has 24 rego there are a number of props that have been approved by the manufactuer. Can someone advise the benefits (if any) of a 2 blade as opposed to a 3 blade prop? Willborne

I'd love to fly up but Casino strip is being turned into a drag strip this weekend.
