Looks great Ben, only prob is looking at that would make you want to fly every day. On another topic, how was the feedback from the fly-in at Hopetoun now it's down the track a bit-we had a ball and were glad we went. Terry

And if he uses two quarters he wont fall out of bed Terry

Yep, that is a strip. Flew in there 2 years ago. Our club bought a gazelle of the guy there. A lovely fellow who was almost in tears parting with his lovely machine. It is called Burrier I think and not Yalwal. Needed a clearance from memory to get in and out. Terry

Okay, Okay, I will join the queue

Well done and am glad everything went well with the emergency. Our club has just bought a heap of 406's with a great price so I am sure I will soon buy one. Terry

Well done Ben, It was a great day and well organised. We left Wang in light rain but by the time we got to Hopetoun the weather was great. Was glad to get back to Hopetoun and be apart of the numbers there. As said in an earlier post the traffic etiquette and radio calls could not have been better. I had one local ask me where was the controller organising the pilots and couldn't believe it just works. Well done Ben Terry

Heon Gidday, Tell us more, I am interested in the use of the epirb and in what situation and the results. Terry

You are right Doug, the link doesn't work now but did at work 10 minutes ago. Try it again tomorrow as it is a good one Sorry Terry

4 of us for lunch Ben, 1 C172 ETA 10.00am weather permitting. Should be at the BBQ unless Kaylene Streeter has other plans Terry

http://www.electricoyster.com/electric3d/index.html Give this to a friend to give them the feel of flight-well sort of Terry

What the chances of a copy of the newspaper articles copied to the forum ? They sound like good reading. Terry

Yep, that should be to 50ft agl Terry

Gidday Bendorn, At this stage put me down arriving in a C172xp with 4 Terry

Our local club also held a PETS course for the wives. Initially the 7 of them all were just saying we are only doing this for our hubbies and were not really interested. But after lesson no 1 they were all chatting about there flights like young kids. They loved it.My wife completed hers up to pre solo stage and was landing a C172 on her own without a problem. Fantastic idea and a course that every club should run for both the safety pilot aspect and also for the enjoyment of your co-pilot Terry

It may have been Joe Drage's who originally owned the collection. i think Joe still has it here in Wangaratta. Terry

I take it GA is welcome as well. We have a good friend in Hopetoun and haven't been there for awhile. Just need to talk the co-pilot into it. Hope to see you there Terry

Sorry guys-I missed why Wallan has closed. Was nearly going to drop in there tomorrow Terry Sorry guys , a stupid question- I finally found the right thread that answers my question Terry

We just purchased a simulator from them 2 weeks ago and they were still waiting for approval then

Yeh, gotta watch that rudder Terry

Yeh, too high for a croppy, if you look close he probably has a nose bleed due to the height:laugh: Terry

Self taught myself--did you try a restore to an earlier date when it worked? Terry

Hey Matt, We took 2 C182's to Merimbula on Friday and spent a couple of nites at the Lakeside Hotel. Did you stay there, if so we must have crossed paths. Small world Terry

Great thread this one, Thanks Motza for your detailed account. To Ben in Shep and anyone in the Wangaratta area, CASA is holding an information night on Wednesday 19th March all about flying into Controlled and Uncontrolled airports-everyone welcome-it's free and a BBQ at the conclusion. There are others in different towns as well, just check CASA's website. Great timing to ask them those tricky questions. Terry
