  1. I guess much smaller versions than even the 250N ones ... cri cri flies on twin 12-15hp ... 245N is similar in total thrust to around 30hp
  2. No - if you used a sapphire not particularly fast - probably only around the 100kt mark. But if you went for a flying wing new build and went for something along the lines of a Jetcat 550N Single Or a couple of much cheaper engines in the 240-250N range like the ATJ 250SV In any event the cost of the jetcat pays for 3 of the ATJs but still cost less than a 912 80hp even before you buy the prop
  3. Or build it yourself and keep it under 300kg and 95.10 is fine. It’s the only class of ultralight in Australia that allows both multi engine and turbines so either find yourself an old 95.10 sapphire - several available for around $8k - and grab a couple of big model jets - many available around the $6k each - and for less than the cost of a good drifter yours burning kero at a prodigious rate and making phenomenal noise.
  4. Slip a pod over the front and you’ve got basically the same as a drifter on the front of that one. Except stringer for the nose leg
  5. Already had that one. #268 on this thread.
  6. Gardan minicab Oops. Not the minicab - wrong rear canopy shape SIPA s90 Same designer a few years later
  7. Yep. It’s not a comp air because on review that’s a pt6 not a Walter on the nose and the windows around the screen are wrong.
  8. Looks like a comp air 7. But converted to trike undetcart with increased rake on main legs. I’ll start googling but that’s my instant guess
  9. Patchen explorer. Must try harder it’s in the SAAF museum and I recall reading about it when wandering through the museums website.
  10. Which one?Aeromachi AM.3 Adventura Were your last two and they were answered above. :-P
  11. RAAus tech manual requires either both sides of fuselage or on outer side of tail and now specified minimum sizes that will preclude most new reg ever using the tail so you’ll see many more moving to fuselage sides.
  12. But the snark was made at least in small numbers.
  13. Nope. The duckt has ducted fan and the winglets are up not down.
  14. Woo hoo!One down. How many others are going to have a go? Hints will start appearing next weekend.
  15. One off. No production plans. It was/is the design of an aero engineer - his fantasy.
  16. Nope. #630 has a person in it so not a drone. Still on offer ... who will find it? Note - it’s a still frame from a video of the flight I have so nobody can reverse image search it :-P
  17. :-P No. You just happen to be posting planes I know.
  18. And I had no inside knowledge of the rises when I said a week ago $10 here and there is just noise and people will just accept it even though it bears no relationship to inflation. $10 on each rego and membership is 4,25% on flying membership 6% on 2 seat rego 13.3% on single seat rego No option but to pay but these increases are year after year after year increases
