fly_tornado

I shipped my two Tornados myself. I organised the shipping and the seller loaded them into a container using a "rollback". I had never heard the term rollback before but that what the yanks call a tipper...

$4800 freight from airfield to Brisbane, includes the container staying @ the strip for 4 days

$3500 GST

$4000 to clear/unpack it from wharf

All in all, it was quiet stressful and I wouldn't do it again unless I was bringing in 2 really nice rv4s...

Its not until you get a container to Australia that you realise how uncompetitive our economy is.

the plan is to fly one, fix one?

they have a 23.5 foot cantilever wing, which meant that I couldn't get one in from the states in a 20 foot container and the guy was selling 2 of them...

mine are a '92 and a '94. As best I can tell there are about 5 in Australia.

hi everybody, My name is Phil and I am currently learning @ Lone Eagle School in Clifton on Drifters, which is great fun when its not freezing cold or when I am not waiting for the rain to stop. I started in Feb this year.

I own 2 Titan Tornados :clap:which I hope will be a nice transition from the Drifters once I have my Cert. I am looking forward to getting back into the air once the rain stops.

Hoping to get to Reno in 2011 to see the races.

I've included a clip of a tornado so you have some idea of what they look like.
