Hi all, Can anyone tell me if you can build a morgan Sierra from scratch, I have looked at what you get in a kit & to me it looks if you got the steel sections the rest is just raw aluminium that all needs to be cut drilled shaped & constucted. Is this right or have I missed something. They look like a great aircraft to fly & build. Pete

Another good one would be Watts Bridge near Toogoolawa, but I think with the weather it might not be operational (they have a heap of home builts)

More solos, feeling more like an aviator every day Pete

we are up for an adventure so are keen to hear of any out of the way, or unusual places we can explore. Fraser island and Lady Elliot Island are in our sights. My wife & family will be camping just north of Orchid beach airstrip, Fraser Is. from boxing day till new year, PM me for mobile No. more than happy to transport you to & from campsite. Pete

Can you recall how big are the cabins I'm 185 tall, do you think they are big enough fo my hieght. Pete

Hi Mark, That worked a treat. Pete

Yes, Avid flyer aircraft. (Mk4 Speedwing)

Hi to all, do'es anyone know anything about Avid Flyers. Pete

Hi Keith, Have you been happy with the kit? What Motor are you going to use? Peter

Hi all, I had my first solo today, it was great. A few circuits with the instructer then out he gets, everything went so smooth i could not have asked for a better day for it. Pete

Hi Mark, Thanks for showing me around your kit, they look like the way to go, I will keep an eye on your progress & hopfully drop in again. Pete

You could try ringing the shop, I'm sure Donny would fill you in on conditions up there (0741279220) Peter

Don't forget sandfly/dingo repellant, good walking shoes, it's a fair walk to any campsite, the shop also is the pub. Peter

Gee Guys, Thanks for busting my bubble, I was happy with before. Peter

I'm in a Lightwing, & loving it Pete

I just did some more landing today, not to bad, funny that my practice engine out landings were better than the power on landings??? Pete

This is what Steve sent to me. Peter Currently I am not permitted to register ANY aircraft which is certified with a MTOW above 544Kg. So regretfully I will not be able to register your 150 until RA-Aus is given a substantial weight increase to 760Kg MTOW which will be at least 2020. So I suggest that you prepare your aircraft for operation and possible sale as VH registered. In addition in the past I was able to register only 2 models of 150 (mainly the straight tails), since the rest had an empty weight which was way too high.

Hi All, I have heard from Steve Bell (TEC MAN) & he said NO to Cessna 150 as RAA until the MTOW is raised & that wont be untill 2020 Pete

Yes I agree Spin, when I started this I only wanted to know how to do the same thing with a 150, I'm glad it's all above boards & would like to have a look at this plane if someone knows them please call. Pete

I had lessons on Saturday, touch & gos where great & the landings just seem to be coming naturaly now, AT LAST. Pete

I checked that no. & it says that its a RAVEN HIGHWING??? Pete

I have a photo of the same plane that i just got the rego no. from, is there any way to find out who owns it & talk to them?

Has anyone got any imformation on converting a Cessna 150 to RAA 19 rego I saw one at Watts Bridge & it made me think it might be an option? Pete
