Great video.

Yeh what stuff??

Yep do away with the printed magazine and do an online magazine. Not to follow how the magazine was, but a properly put together online magazine. It is all going that way so do it now and get on with life.

was good to see these aircraft at Caboolture today.

I know someone else that has this same problem, we have tried to stop it but haven't been able to, will be interested to see the solution.

Nice looking Lightwing. Good on you.

Multifocals all day long, I have been wearing them for years now and they are great. The only time I did have a problem was when the optometrist didn't get the point on the glasses where it starts the transition down to the reading section. They had it to high up. It drove me crazy for awhile. I went back and they made the adjustment and then no problem. That was back in the early days of multifocal lens. I have the same prescription in my sunglasses as well. Just love how good it works for me.

Yes you can use your iPhone as a backup.

All the best with your training and enjoy the 701.

Very good advice Kununurra. Doing dummy plans and just playing around with Oz-runways. I need to do more of this.

Yes there was a thriving Ultralight Club at Koralbyn. I was taken for a flight from there in a Drifter in about the early 90's. The day I was there it was a very busy day with lots of activity going on.

I have been in touch with John Corby and it looks like I will be a little on the large size for the Corby Starlet. He puts the weight at 80kg, so I think I will have to look at something else.

Thank for the reply's. I have about 100 hours in taildraggers, so I should be fine. Would be sure to be current with this when the time comes. Im at Redcliffe in Queensland. I have to confirm the fit, I'm 89kg and 5'10" and what I call average build. I would think that I will fit ok.

20 years? really? So you know the aircrafts history to be able to say that?

Looking for a Corby Starlet. I have always loved this aircraft and thought I would one day build one. But I now want to own one, so someone must have one available. Please let me know?

Another very good book to read about the Qantas WW11 is Peter FitzSimons Charles Kingsford Smith. A long read 700 odd pages, but worth every bit of that. He has researched very well for this book. He goes right back to the early days of aviation and covers all the greats from those early days.

Caboolture Recreational Aviation has a Drifter available for Private Hire and Training. Very social and friendly school. 07-5499-1699.

Hec Field for Saturday lunch, I will check that out.
