No, I don't know Graeme. My aircraft is actually a weight shift (Airborne XT912), pictured in my avatar.

Welcome Steve! Great place these Forums. Smith Lake must be just about ideal for the floatplane. And what a luxury to be able to fly from and to home.

Thanks for the welcome David---yes , I remember Farri flying a Mustang around in the early days in North Qld---he is also posting some pics I sent him.

Just checking out your a/a list and wow---thats a hanger full -----saved the best till last !!!!!!!!!!!!Steve

Welcome Steve. I hope you enjoy the forums.

Welcome Steve. We have a great and supportive community here. It is a good source of information and great for sharing information that is helpful to others. Even if you don't eat oysters, sounds pretty good :-)

Sounds great. You seem to have a dream life - all those oysters and you get to fly as well!!Col:outback:

Here I am saying "Hi"--not sure who to at this stage but here goes

I'm a RAA pilot and I own and operate a two place Challenger floatplane from my house on the mid north coast of NSW---Smiths Lake near Forster.

Have been involved with ultralights since the 1980's and hang gliding before that.

I'm 58 ,married with a couple of grown up kids. A lot of my original flying was done in North Qld where I owned a single seat "Skydart 3" (from Steve Cohen) and several hang gliders.

Still love dragging the bird out of the boatshed and going for a fly in this lovely part of the world. I am also a member of the Seaplane Pilots Association of Australia.
