Flying leghorn

HI Wayne you must be working on my road then as that's where I live ..Craig

The media said 50 Shaun was early 40 ,s early investigation s may indicate a problem on take off

Thanks Mike I will fill you in as I find out more we are still in shock

Guys I know you are all questioning the sort of flying we all do me included but I can tell you this Shaun would not want us to question what we love doing its our passion he would want us to keep on going this thought got me home Saturday it may not even been mechanical but who knows .

My best mate Shaun Edwards was killed in a ppc Saturday morning 10km south of Theodore at a property .We are not sure of what happened as yet as we have to wait for the inquest .I have flown with Shaun many times and he was very careful and did not take risks .He was flying a machine called a fast away with a 500 sq chute we flew together last week end after attending the old station flyin had a great weekend and was topped off by a great morning fly. I heard the news while I was at Watts bridge flyin and I had to get my thoughts together to fly home was the hardest fly of my life .Shaun was a big man and with a equally big heart would do anything for anybody his close family is a mess but they know the flying community is like a big family and will rally behind arch his dad ,pearl his mum ,shyanne his brother , and the extended family's

Hi could you pls call Shaun re your ppc he is interested as he has same and may use some parts 0467324480

Hi guys is there any powered power chutes up around Capricorn central high lands a friend is very proactive with his flying and would like to meet up with other usually flys on his own..Craig

Thank heaps for that yes I have spoken to them ..Regards Craig

Hi everybody in the flying world would anyone know where I could fly my ppc on the sunny coast beach is there somewhere to take off inland and fly to the beach..Craig

Wow you are going to be busy there are some very handy guys around oakey when it comes to building light aircraft I fly a XAir and a rans properly seen me buzzing around the area..Craig

Hi Wayne have you got your kestrel in the air yet would love to see it fly I fly around oakey

Hi Seb let me know if you got my message still working out this forum..Craig

Ok cool yeah they are great little planes I also have a x air which is what I learnt in its got heaps of extras like long rang tanks so thinking of flying to meandarra were i work this weekend I think i will sell it then fly it and change my mind but will have to come to the realisation that I can't have 2 one day . I also fly aero chutes and paramotors cost to much to keep everything current wish it was all under one licence with endorsements..Craig

Thanks yes it's a nice plane very happy with it good to go somewhere lots of storage...Craig

Hi mine has to be machined to fit bolly prop there's a few hundred dollars difference but I would care if I get a result . Yes mine is from Gatton the previous owner said 95 knts and will exceed the VNE which has not been the case for me .I contacted the guy who built it and he said 90ish .We have played with the prop checked the SOG and all surfaces so alls left to do now is change prop.Iv been onto the rans clan forum but nowon has the 912 ul there been in contact with a heap of guys with the 503 .Rans are great they sent me all the other owners of that model.On another note I tried calling the RomaRecreational aero club 2weeks ago was going to fly out but the guys who's ph number is on the web site never got back to me do you still have a club there ? The only time iv been there was to fly a drifter back to Chinchilla for Mike Toey..Regards Craig

Hi Seb thanks I looked at bolly but after speaking to the warp drive people he said I would get better proformance and better cruise out of this tapered tip as thats what all the guys who have this model are going to and reacon increase by 5/10mph and I don't have to change the hub. Mine is a 912ul so should get a few more knots than what I'm getting .I would try a bolly if I could buy a 2nd one with a hub for the 912..RegardsCraig

Hi new to this forum I am looking for a tapered tip warp drive prop for a pusher to buy I have a RAns s 14 and I'm wanting to upgrade props..Craig
