  1. Its not mentioned in the video but Im guessing thats a belly pod for storage ?
  2. Saw this on Dan Johnson site and I like it..
  3. That takes a real man to admit your mistake that could of happened to any of us. Impressing in every way and I very glad you are back up here with you bird.
  4. Gforce said: ↑ ? But then, plans are dirt cheap, someone went to alot of work to ensure you could build the plane, it was safe and it flew so it worth the $500 IMHO. Then some... Just saying Agreed but why would the person buy something he already has What Im saying is, there are alot of plans you can download on the net. I have HEAPS lol.. I don't have ether the skill or the time to build most of them but if I was to build a plans build aircraft I would call the designer and buy them leggit. I have Cri Cri Plans... would love to build one but Im 6.4 so doubt I ever will but if i were to, I would call Michael Colomban and order them Keep in mind... The plans are the cheapest part of your build but the backbone. So why not get them from the licences distributor, and then have the support where available. Seems so strait forward to me.
  5. avocet.. That french for flying fish right ? Could you please link me. I did a search but im IFR with a RAA ticket. NEED assistance.
  6. Interesting Hypothetically ........ I dont know the answer. I DO know that People download plans and use them. Do you NEED a serial number ? Is it a requirment ? I guess it is as RAA ask for it when applying don't they ? But then, plans are dirt cheap, someone went to alot of work to ensure you could build the plane, it was safe and it flew so it worth the $500 IMHO. Then some... Just saying
  7. Interesting aircraft... do you have any info ? Not that Im interested. Got a new plane I cant even collect ! RAA :-(....
  8. MAJOR fan of Titan Tornado with a Jab 3300 !! A real rocket and easy to fly.
  9. I posted this video ( not mine ) to domonstrate that IMHO, the 180c turn back is rarely ever, a safe option and never the safest option. This was done with no passager, probebly in nil wind ( hench the pilots ability to take off and land in different directions and I would suspect, minimal fuel so in a very artificial environment. Try it with 2 up, full fuel and your weekend bags... It may not come out like that at all !
  10. Thanks mate - Yes I joined pretty recently. Cool little mag they put out as well ! Hongie, The planes will be located near mudgee when we finish our hangar in a few months. That picture was taken on our lot !
  11. I wish ! Nah mate just work bloody hard ( and smart sometimes ) The Rv-8 is my Dads to be fair...Ive been saving alot to buy the Highlander and its not without considerable sacrifice but should all be well worth it I think !
  12. I tend to agree and Im a very fair weather pilot so morning.. evenings is my play time ! If we need to go somewhere, we have an RV-8 for that !
  13. G`day Phil, The Highlander really is a completely new aircraft with not much in common wit the old Karatoo other than the good old " cub type " configuration. The Highlander features a Riblett GA 30-613.5. airfoil. Cheers M8
  14. and this is the largest ARTF Kit ! All done for you......65% Fokker !!
  15. That Bill Hemple ! You can order that as a ARTF for about $3500 - 10k all up... However....... The biggest rc plane goes to this man who has scratch build an 86% ( yes you read it right ! ) Pitts Python !
  16. I know but Giant scale models are an entire hobby in them self - I have a fair few ! Love full scale more but I LOVE flying my 40% Sbach doing extreame aerobatics that I'm just not good enough nor experienced enough to do inside the aircraft !
  17. Not mine - But fantastic - However I would I put an electric motor in it as the 2 stroke sound is not for this model
  18. This J1A1 will forever be my first love ! My Dad and I loved it ! Flew it everywhere, even one an award for it !
  19. this was our Auster ! Its a J1A1 and only 1 of 2 in Australia !
  20. To be honest, I think he did a fair landing all things considered. It looks like a bugger to land ! Reminds me on my Gee Bee R3 ! Great plane but hard to land well.
  21. Can RAA registered aircraft do Aeros in Australia provided you have the training ?
  22. What a real shame ! What caused the prang ?
