  3. My Uncle trained in them at Lowood Qld (near Watts Bridge Airfield) in the early 40's then they had to fly them to Temora with fuel stops at servos on the roadside so the story goes.

  7. Note the screw on lid, pop on lids not water tight when hard bumps cause a tip over. https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/403957628942?hash=item5e0dc0400e:g:NgoAAOSw30liJvRy&amdata=enc%3AAQAIAAAAwK4Nuuab0uEetvzwoBOPyx0lH77DeC4ZG%2BDYbeh07SSxmgUhyy9%2BvFZ6rt1VDqiTjii5Ti5qm%2BIo%2BGAhZQDo0f1Ln2HVYWswx6qKzzNyEcxvxtNp5WRsFK%2Bkzr6FOH8j6EgGpnNQ3XJcQE2GVI0%2BaTYlHzzYlhuXC7yIgGaMC4ZOvTsyI%2FJD3Hpqb3TtUUuqj8yksaiNHg1An0H14STvpyGANk37DYpNrIOsDFpYxrpt5rG1z0np8yNWRAWtuTuIhw%3D%3D|tkp%3ABk9SR6CY__fVYg

  10. Gympie is a common waypoint for aircraft traveling north from Brisbane, Caboolture, Redcliffe and Caloundra being west of Maroochydore airspace and has active local traffic. The accident apparently occurred 16km (9nm) from Gympie at altitude. If the Sabre was transiting the Pilot would possibly just have switched to ctaf from area. A glider at same altitude does not offer much of a profile and at possibly 100+ knots closing speed……… my 2 cents.

  12. Also Wayne Fischer of drifter fame. Dangerous jobs I wouldn’t do it.
  13. Maybe some large salvage airbags under the wings to lift wheels would work.
  14. I had a GT500 with a 582 Rotax which was a factory built and I'm sure the 400 which is the singleseat version can take the 582 as well. as for hangerage maybe possible at Caboolture but has suggested go to the airfield walk around and talk to people.
