airframe will be a low wing ,design will be a mixture of some existing airframes but personalised mods, nothing to drastic , just a safe flying craft , i have given myself 18 mths to build and am steadily aquiring parts , will start the airframe this time next year, i will then have all the parts req ,will be looking for some advise for electrics , will need to contract you for some final finishing work on electrics cheers Gareth -

Gate admission to - Air Venture Australia
gareth lacey replied to Bernie Knight's topic in AUS/NZ General Discussion
Hi Nobody, you have quoted the costs for air shows in other countries that are far superior to what we get here in Aus, Avalon being the exception,the shows there are better run, have more static displays and showcase,more industry ,I could go on , we are minnows in the big scheme , Australia used to host better airshows but as with aviation in general its downward, I just want to fly and the odd airshow would be great but the costs associated take the cash away from flying to places I want see, my 2 bobs worth cheers gareth -

anyone who flys in should pay minimal entry, it costs us to fly there and the non flying people who want to see all types of aircraft should pay those fees, it does cost to put airshows on but aviators especially those who fly great distance to get there should be subsidised cheers Gareth (another RV owner ) -

gareth lacey replied to bexrbetter's topic in Aircraft Building and Design Discussion
we used them for our Morgan build, reasonable priced and easy to get ,fits the o/d pipe for brakes and rudder , simple but effective , easy to install and very little wear on the bushing well done , making it easy for the builder -

I am only" judging" Neil on his writing on this forum,he probably as you suggest a very nice chap,but if Niel wants us to hear and heed what he is writing on the forum he needs to check what he has written,as you say we have not all had the same education(and I put myself in that bracket to) maybe some help to write ,if I have derided Neil I apologise cheers Gareth
