John I'd like to come out for a look to ,how many up that way ,what's flying.how to find it?

Just out of interest endorsement done on Sunday an I received new card/lic today thought that was quick given what's going on!

Hey therm not going to give powered chutes ago??

You can alway fly a powered parachute jc the frog may have a loophole see Australian powered parachute forum.

B and C.looks like fun to me

Why bother.only my opinion.i went the other way due to high costs etc etc,just need to be checked out include nav ,I don't think it would be hard ,ppl theory test maybe nav met etc.any ga instructors will be happy to take your money ,I mean tell you what's req.i now fly for 30$ per hr........

Yep two or three feet agl above a nice crop for a couple hundred meters is just the best fun , with permission and when legal.but yes the trees are softer at the top

No wunda I aint eny lurned at scool

I'm in John ,more the better .looks like a another new pilot about to start training ,there is now two instructors in Perth,looking good for some more bigger events here in wa.

Yep i think Fred's in Queensland somewhere

Lic all done today then flight with 2 others for 1.1 hrs best fun with pants on

Great news ......had a close look today and as far as I can tell it is not newish that's for sure I was hoping for a reply like that thanks

Real good thanks got2in that day got a bit windy great to fly over crops 2feet high for 100s of meters to few scary moments with gusts of wind up higher ,not quite used to that bit ,best to be flying on the better days for bit longer .conversion might be finished tomorrow or next day then full lic then I think it's 10 hrs for pax endo .this is by far more fun than tin can flying.meeting a few other aero chute owners along the way and have flown in three places now .another starting training tomorrow so good that its a growing sport here in the west .funny thing I didn't even know this form of flying existed here till 3 or 4 months ago now have my own and looking forward to lots of new places to fly and people to meet.

At ypjt it was crosswind 500agl no more than 15 of bank downwind at 45 base at45 also using strut for distance on downwind

Yep but no background available anyone had one of these for 8/9 years from new and still working

Starting to look like back to powered parachute ,only good up to 15knt of wind

Reason for asking is this aircraft is 9 years old showing 80 hrs if tach batt is good for 5 or so years now maybe it has done many more hrs than that sounding like one more reason to look at pulling the thing apart even when it's running great any eg of sim .

Can the battery be changed and do you lose the hrs record

runs good

Not working on ipad

To much now I have a aero chute that fits in the corner of the shed .just add fuel and go

Some grounded dude

You need to be flyin more

So I assume no one wants to admit running a older rotax past recommended 5year overhaul

Only had this one a short time was told that it had been started regular etc ????.used in powered parachute so engine outs may be a little less of a disaster if flying around a open field .i was wondering if there is even older engines still running fine without replacing seals etc .or should I be looking into tearing it down even when it s running sweet
