Hi all

here are a few picks of the wing /strut build for the sierra

the beam jig to hold the strut and the simple adjuster to set the washout

aileron horn

alum wing walk/step

flap,aileron cables through no 7 rib and fuel line

flap and aileron fitted

alum 30 litre tank

tank vent pipe through to wing tip

control horn through flap skin(bkt is internal fixed to rib)

the alum tank and wing walk plate with stiffeners weight came to 7 kilos,offset that is less fuel ie less weight next is to skin

cheers all Gareth & CRaig

Hi All

a comment or 2 about this great state and the heavy burden inflicted by LABOR ipollies ,44 years in yhis country ,and again we are seeing another downturn thats 4 that i have come through and yes the bloody incompetant public service needs a wake up, in my former business i worked for.Q build,Energex Derm,and qld health they all squandered YOUR tax dollars ,they could not work in an iron lung,they waste money by the truckload and now they whinge that they may lose there jobs !get a pair and do what all people in the private sector do ,go get a job ,your right Dazza we are not entitled to a job ,they in the PS think that they do my wife is in admin and she sees people (generality here) PS workers who are their to just make the nos ,take thier obligatory sick day every month,my wife has had 3 days sick in 10 years ,and can,t believe the amount of sickies they are allowed .

thats my beef

Cheers gareth

Hi Eightyknots

did,nt happen ,craig and i went out together for our lessons(we share the cost of driving out there) Craig was to get his cert but came back and told the instructor that he would not fly with him again ,my turn came (same instructor ) had 45 mins and i told him that the next circuit would be a full stop ,he asked are you tired, i told him that i had enough! very forcibly , both Craig and I think this guy is "ANXL" Craig has his GFPT and many hours solo and was told last lesson he would get his cert ,we are both disgusted the way he instucts it was almost like starting all over ,we think that many of these schools are money grabbers , we now understand that s why many people give it all away, are there any recomended Raa schools in Brisbane. would like to here from any one about a good school that is about the flying and not about sucking us dry,

Cheers gareth
