[ATTACH]16158[/ATTACH] Hi everyone, well the Brumby 610 is now safely in the hanger and I thought id give an update of impressions so far. It has the rotex 912 100 hp, 3 blade bolly prop, garmin aero 500 gps, and 140-150 litres of fuel. Paul coursed the prop out for touring and she does get along well. I flew to mildura over the new years weekend, averaged 112 knots on the way up 5150 revs, and 120 knots on the return trip, with a slight tail wind at 5000 feet. mildura to bridgewater in 1.5 hours 174 knotical miles, so am happy with cruise preformance. In good conditions, feet on the floor and hands off the stick and she just flys. Climb preformance fully loaded with course prop setting probably 650 feet a minute, but im not trying to climb hard. Very docile in the stall, perhaps to docile for a trainer as it doesnt drop a wing, just decends at 500 feet a minute. this is great to fly, but a learner pilot does need to know not to freak out if they experience a wing drop in a stall with a different aircraft. I flew around some nasty thunderstorms on a warm afternoon on the flight from cowra to bendigo, gps was good so i could concerntrate on the weather. Sat in the air really well, i dont mean to upset tecnam owners, but ive flown a p92 in more stable conditions and been thrown around worse, so pretty happy with the way it handles a bit rougher weather. Paul, Phil and the team at Brumby aviation are gentleman to deal with. I sit on the board of the Australian made Australian Grown, the green triangle with the kangaroo on it, so naturally im pretty proud to be supporting an Australian made product. Hope that info is helpful to anyone eyeing of a new airplane.Brumby aviation are a good bunch of aussies, taking a pride in building a good aircraft. It took a bit of time, but im pretty happy so far with the product.

Hi everyone, well next week I'm picking up a brand new 610 high wing brumby aircraft, there is a YouTube video of it, it's blue and white. I'll post and let you know how it flys once I've got a handle on it. I'm based around the Bendigo central victoria area if anyone is interested. I'm picking it up just before Christmas and trying to convince my wife it's a joint Christmas present.....

Hi guys, interesting reading. I'm due to pick up my 610 high wing in the next week or two, fitted with the 912 , I'll let you know how it performs when I get it. Andrew

Take a digital photo for me, I haven't seen the paint job as I have been in africa. Email it to [email protected] Hope it looks good. My mobile is 0428373136 give me a call after I get it home and I'll try and make time to go for a quick spin with you

Hi steve, I pick up my plane on the 25th, looking forward to it, as you can imagine. Andrew

Hi Steve, I've also ordered a brumby 610, mine isn't far away so I'm looking forward to flying it. I'm based around Bendigo Victoria. What I've seen so far is impressive, I'll add a post when I get it home and stretched it's wings a bit. Andrew

hi everyone, well i thought id say hello, currently getting my raa licence and enjoying it. Im going to be in the market for a RAA registared plane, something that has a long cruising range, 100/120+knt and is easy to get parts for, safe to fly and withstand landing on the paddock on my farm. Also in the $60 000 or less range, even that will require some quick talking to my family! So hopeing to hear others experience and advice. Im based in central Victoria and training at the Bendigo Flying Club.
