I use Racetech. Use to use Performance Metals but after being sold a number of years ago have found them to be useless.

Try building a 1928 design from plans drawn by the designers mate in 1933....?. I also just picked up a Rainbow Cheetah which is the older Brother of your Bushcat.

Sharon Park B&B might fit your requirements.

No I have been offered one to buy and I wanted to try and get some history on it first.

Ok so not in business now?

Don’t think so...? It has Aust Performance Prop stamped on the hub.

Has anyone heard of “Australian Performance Props”? I can’t find anything online about them.

My personal experience is I put a post up, a select few pick it to bits and just come out with BS comments. Makes me not want to visit or post. I visit maybe a dozen times a year when bored or not building my planes. I stay in touch with a select few on Facebook. The ones I enjoy socialising with.

My Brother in NZ is involved with this https://www.facebook.com/WiresKillPilots/ They fly the markers up by drone and hang them on the wires.

I have recently got my Cheetah-XLS which is the BushCats older brother flying. I have a steam gauge ASI and a MGL panel and no Static line per say. It just vents in to the cabin. Both read within a very close tolerance. I wouldnt worry about it.

An MGL mate.

Pietenpol Air Camper and Rainbow Cheetah XLS.

Thanks mate. Yes did see those. There is a mob in NZ too. Just seeing if anything local. Appreciate your response.

What are folk using for prop spacers? Is there a supplier in Australia? I need one to fit between a Rotax 912ULS and a Bolly prop hub. Approx 60-70mm long. Asked Bolly when ordering the prop and they said they dont do them. Do people get them custom made for their projects or is there a readily available source? Scotty

Thanks Guys. Lots of good information. Im tossing between the Kiev and the Bolly. Scotty

I need to buy a prop for my Rainbow Cheetah aircraft. It is the older Brother to the current SkyReach Bushcat. Im not looking to start a slanging match on here I just need peoples lived experiences of what they have used and any positives and negatives. If its too bad an experience, maybe message me direct. The manual recommends a Kiev prop. Just looking for other options. Aircraft will not be used for training. Just my toy. I need a 3 blade to go on a Rotax 912ULS. Regards Scotty

Hi Guys...to be honest I dont bother with this forum much. Sick of the childish politics! Only reason I saw you guys had commented was because it came up in my email. Progressing well, engine 95% built. Most of air frame done. Assembling now and making cables etc. Can see it all at www.scottyspietenpol.com Scotty

Considering it's only Thursday, there is a good crowd already. Weather is nice. Roll on tomorrow! Scotty

We are paying $30 a night for a powered site.

I'm looking forward to it and am hoping the floods have dried up enough so people driving can get through!

Don....I am assembling my Corvair now. Scotty

Can but slow.

Anyone have a wiring diagram for an RT-328C Radio? Looking for information as to what wire is what. Scotty

I really wish they would put some effort in to the website. I have booked from Thursday till Sunday but if they dont start posting what is going to be there, I may pull the plug. Im worried this is going to be a half arsed event like the last of them at Temora. Scotty

For me it's a case of not having it physically there. It's not that I am actively avoiding it but if it was there, where I could trip over it, I probably would read it.
