Gforce

This is one of the more practical electric ultralight

 

 

 

Thanks for that - I know of a few PPGs that are electric as well as some trikes as in the youtube video above - But what.... ( oh ok, Ill join in...).. but WATT about fixed wing aircraft... ?

 

 

Hi all,

 

As part of some on going development I'm doing for my company, I would like to know if any one is flying, or knows of an electric aircraft flying ? RAA are not aware of one specifically registered as electric but admit that does not mean one is not flying.

 

Thanks in advance

Yes indeed... I think I need to quickly read up on the matter at hand.

 

 

Another good thing is that the new super Stol wing can be retrofitted to any existing Highlander/Escapade fuselage.

Yes I took this into account as well. I doubt I would need any more STOL performance than this but nice to know in the future.

 

Slightly off topic here but.. have the RAA got the registration issues worked out yet and would this aircraft be affected ?

 

 

No not yet but that will change soon as I believe an order has been put in..

 

 

Thanks mate !

 

 

Ballpoint, thanks very much for the feedback here.. Its great to be able to get a review from someone who knows the aircraft. Im really glad you point out that TG`s take special attention and care.. and type training and as i was taught by my Dad when he taught me to fly in his 1942 Auster J1A1... " son.. you are not finished flying till the plane is locked up in the hangar " and... " those feet are great to get you to the airport but they need to really work ....once we go flying" ... got a great dad and teacher...

 

Thanks for your feedback and help.

 

 

Check out my youtube channel...... ozparkpilot ! You will see `em all...... starting with this

 

 

 

Thanks Alf ! Im very excited as this is our first child. I hope he is as plane crazy as I am ! He sure will have alot of toys to play with.

 

Yes, I think it looks a good buy, but I am yet to see it in the flesh. As I mentioned, I will have a Lame go over it and get his/her opinion before emptying my savings account ! That`s for sure. 100 hours a year is doing very well ! I think I would be flying every other weekend. We are building a Hangar home at the moment so I be able to fly at when ever Im up there. No control tower... no traffic... Just pre flight and go fly ! I also have ordered a second single seat plane called FlyNano for which Im the Australian dealer for... That will be for the lake use only !

 

 

No idea why.

 

 

Well, After spending my last 3 hours on youtube watching some pretty skilled pilots fly what is a very well done aircraft im sold. Its great to get your direct feedback.. What was the build like ? all i plan on doing is adding a transponder and plum in an Ipad and that it... Oh and finish my RAA ticket.. must not forget about THAT :-)

 

 

Metalman, thanks I might well do that... Did you buy your kit from the importer Alpine Aircraft ?

 

Dazza, I agree with you mate, its just like often we can debate all day about what one considers good value vs another. I have no intention of going GA so I'm restricted to RAA aircraft but for the type of low n slow flying I like, I don't consider it a restriction at all.

 

 

Ok thanks guys for the comments.

 

 

Disagree - The some of all parts adds up to more than them put together.... If its a good build, its a good buy. Aircraft sales are dead at the moment, trust me I know the market as 95% of the aircraft importers are my customers. Don`t try and compare an old Supercub or Citabria. Apples for oranges...

 

 

Yeah, It was GA and now its RAA... Actually not sure why he did this but he did and it suits me just fine as RAA is all I want to fly at this stage.. maybe later I do more but I doubt it as I have a heap of GA right seat hours and I MUCH prefer RAA aircraft...I thinks it a fair buy for 85k.. Lets see. Thanks again guys for yours help. Now Im off to prenatal classes ! This " baby " has to wait a few weeks as I have a much more important baby on the way... my little co pilot !

 

 

well it would be single seater only under RAA they are too heavy for 2 seat ops

Really ??? Why is this ?

 

 

No problem - RAA Rego done ! Anything else ?? Thanks for your help guys... I really thank you all.

 

 

Yeah, you right. But, as I said, I'm having my first child shortly and I don't have the time to build a kit. I added everything up... Rotax 912, kit, pro paint, steaqm panel with Ipad.. came up to about 70k.. Plus 700-1000 hours ( i KNOW it would take me 1000 hours ) and this has been built by a builder that has built 4 planes so it MUST be good.. But, Im insistent on paying an expert to go over the plane first.

 

Here is a pictures of the plane...........

 

 

 

Why ?

 

 

No.. Looking at a " much loved " one.. 110 TT for $85k.

 

 

Well, My wife is due with our first child ( a Boy ) in a few month so I thought I better go and buy a plane before that ! I have one in my sights... Stay tuned...

 

My only concern, is wood ribs. Then how many aircraft out there HAVE wood ribs that do aeros and provided you do regular inspections. should be no problem..

 

 

I love all of my RC fleet ! As you can tell, I like them big !

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I uploaded a video of my recreational U.A.V in the video section for those interested in seeing what I see flying them.
