sorry guys just a bushie but ya got the idea hey ........anyway some hang there planes in them ,dose that count ....

Oh I fly everyday possible :). Im lucky to have my girls in the back yard.[ATTACH=full]33953[/ATTACH]

Just requiring are there any hanger to rent or park my lightwing if i was to work in the area ?

thinking of flying back and fort to work if i score a job in the area .

I fly a gr lightwing cant comment on the 2000 but to say if anything like there high wing sisters they would be a a great aircraft ,

I haven't even seen one up close but they look sturdy not shore i use one off strip, like I do with my but would be a good long distance craft i think

Do u have more information where ,price.history

clayt ?

Lightwing GR 582

Hey, is that green Lightwing on floats registered 25-428? I purchased a new lightwing back in 1991 to start our flight school here in S.A. with the same rego and it had identical colour scheme.ran it for around 800 hours and sold it to one of our students. He later traded it in for a new Lightwing 912.

To my knowledge 428 was written off in the Whitsunday area don't know much about her but if u have her history post it up I be interested in her past ?

U flying over too avlon m8

Some of the North boys will be there I almost made it but work changed those plans Ian well , warren butler and a few others be there .

think it may have been a bat flying backwards

Could try these they are made for motor bike tanks but not shore how small they are may be useful ?

With most two stroke we carry a weight limit so for me I don't need or won't a chute nor do i won't the extra cost ,the hole idea of ultralight is affordable flying needing these system is not for them keep that sort of system for LSA craft if they require it .

As it is we have lost the true spirit of affordable & fun flying .

my two cent worth !

Most mishaps are caused bye people , aircraft are safe but when u add a human then the chances of a mishap will go through the roof, Only have too look at other sports weather it be guns ,cars motorcycles or swimming ' every thing can cause harm if not done with the respect it deserves ' u have too try and control all the thing in and around including others to a point but then as i said being human we all make mistakes we should all try to learn from the misfortunes of us all .

scary when others move your craft" hanger rash" no one knows how it happens but it dose

Two strokes are fine they do require a little more care in the way u run them eg warming them up propery and then managing them in the air but I have only flown behind them all my flying life now 20 years plus with out any problems 0032 is my third two stroke in aircraft and had many other motorcycle go carts hovercraft JetSki , so for me I will happy ride fly drive push atwo stroke love them ,

Well For ya first Craft I would recommend a Lightwing GR582 or GR- GA912 they are a tail dragger or nose wheel configuration can carry a pax and some gear for ya trips

some more information can be found here :http://www.recreationalflying.com/forums/lightwing.48/

I have own 2 lightwing Papa0229 was my first witch I bought from Lismore I had her for 12 years with no problems flow most of the east coast did a Cape York flight around the tip and she never let me down !

Now have 250032 which I bought as a wreck and with Carlo Pete rebuild her now .

they are great too fly can be a challenge in crosswinds but are very rewarding :-)

Condolences to families and friends.

good too see the two stroker gathering

Welcome M8

Would love too get there but think I be heading too Ace field "Bill Starke " Place then unless weather change things ?

Anything is possible depends how deep ya pockets are but think it would be a big task have too redesign fuselage and wing mounts as Planedriver suggest contact Howie or look at a craft that has that option !

eg : kitfox / highlander

a few more that I like

this dose it for me

let me know how too pay Tim & i have a Copy !

Do u have any photo of her before the misadventure Pete ?

No my not for sale Tim only if I get really broke but not yet
