Yeah I can offer support on RA Newcastle, I've been flying with them for years, Keith is a great guy.

Somersby is a bit of a peculiar strip, short and with a slope they prefer operations that are landing up hill and taking off down hill, I'm in Hornsby and I normally fly out of Cessnock due to the aircraft available, but if I was coming in I would go Warnervale and then the Oaks at a stretch.

So I'm going to be on the South Island of New Zealand at the start of may for the annual family holiday. As best I can tell theres no big airshows coinciding with our visit, but does anyone have any good pointers or websites for local flying days or events?

In The J170, Embrace the float! :)

Welcome aboard, Where are you flying from?

10K, hey, doesn't itmake you an expert when you've done something 10,000 times?

I believe Theresa couple 500s with flying schools, I haven't heard of a 600 in Aus, but it would definitely be my LSA of choice.

Theres a dead looking twin at Cessnock, Its been there long enough for the grass to have grown up past the wings where the mower cant get.

The Tecnam isn't buffeted anywhere near as much as the Jabiru, but I have been noticing a lot more engine management is required in the recent conditions. Full throttle climbs that I normally would have completed without a second thought have the oil temperature creeping up through the yellow band requiring a mid climb cruise to let everything cool back down and even cruise needs to be managed a couple hundred RPM slower than I would in July. Not to mention the temperature gauge still showing >20 degrees when sitting at 4500 ft. The experienced guys tell me they don't bother this time of year and wait until it gets cooler.

Yeah The FK51 would be my choice of replica warbird, the styling seems much more accurate than many of the other replica warbirds on the market today. I still think the Blackshape is remarkably cool

Yeah the blackshape was previously the Millennium Master, Its an LSA specced machine and could be RA-Aus registered, but with an MTOW of 472Kg, its a little light on for most of us. I would still love to fly one, but the second seat would really only be useful for a bag.
