Dont forget the Bushcaddy R80, it's a very strong aircraft.

Pete

Distance for me also, if its on the east coast at least have it half way

Good onya Dave, I hope to start a Sierra taildrager build this year myself, I hope it looks as good as yours.

Pete

if on a limited budget, i would seriously look at a early Jabiru LSA. they perform well, 100Kts cruise! fun to fly, no corrosion issues, and cheap to maintain as nothing to seriously go wrong, except engine issues. basic bullet-proof little fun aircraft. . and all around the 30 to 40K mark.

Pete

Thanks guys,

I am just tossing up ideas at the moment.

Pete

Hi everyone, I am tossing up if I should change from Raa to Ga, as I can't see the advantage in Raa. The price of Raa aircraft seem to be to high for me, icould get a Cessna 150 or Piper Tomahawk for half to price of a Jabiru or the like. Can some of you more experienced pilots give me some advice please.

Pete

Great work Tomo,

You seem to lead a charmed life (I'm sure you work hard at it though)

Thanks Pete

I have just got home from Fraser, the pilot landed at Orchard Beach airstip at about 7.45 that morning while I was waiting for the shop to open, I talked to him for about 1/4 hour & checked out the plane. He was picking up three passengers to go back to Hervey Bay & then heading back to the beach for joy flights. Thats all I have.

Pete

Can anyone give me your thoughts on the Renegades as a practical first plane. Maybe with a 80 Rotax?

I was driving over the Gateway bridge in Brisbane the other day & noticed the wind socks indicating the wind was coming from the west, next I saw a passenger jet landing from the west with the wind. Is this normal or do they have set time they can land certain ways?? It was blowing about 20 knots.

Pete

Found - one deceased north of Injune 3:10pm today. A weak signal was detected in the area, was hoping it was not a hiker in the nearby Carnarvon National Park - turned out to be the plane. Pilot was from Roma Qld, family notified, name to be released soon. RIPSue

The price is fine, as a smoker & a drinker I can tell you I spend a lot more on these than flying.

The aircraft in question is one I have been thinking about building, there has been alot said on this forum about them, I still think they are a very good aircraft & will be getting my kit under way early next year. The way it stood up to the crash has impressed me, the other problems that have come up have just given me a few more things that I will make sure are built better on my plane.

Pete

Pilot and single passenger is my understanding Pete.

Pete

Can someone tell me, where you say single passenger do you mean pilot only or pilot & single passenger??

Pete

I went for a fly yesterday, it was great, a little blowy but that just makes it fun doesn't it

Pete

will be very interested to see how it goes with the Rotax

Pete

You are doing a great job, can't wait to see it in the air

Pete

Phenominal! Will post pictures tonight. Great turnout to watch them also.

Brilliant

Hi Cosmick,

Thanks for the reminder, I saw the short for it but did'nt get the time.

Pete

Can anyone tell me what the engine is?

Pete

Can anyone help.

Can you get plans for Skyfox wings or is there someone on here that can help me find some?

Pete

That looks great, who cares about the script the flying effects look terrific.
