Hi Corky,Hi RichardI owned that thruster from about 1991 to about 1995 and was a great plane to fly ,maybe even better than my current t300 because it is way lighter, could land it anywhere. One of the best flights I had in it was from Tamworth to south west rocks and then to evans head at 500 foot most of the way for the great eastern flyin ,landing on the beach to refuel and to ring up Coffs control tower for clearance thru zone as I didn't have radio . Gotta love the old daysCheers Corky
she is a credit to you and other previous owners,
Tamworth-southwest rocks- evens head . In a Thruster ! WOW thats the go!! Wish i lived near the beach .
You must of looked after her well :) Still flys great,trims hands off, i have only done local flying and one Yarrawonga-Falcon Hawk flight so far but intend to do a few longer sorties soon ,or at least get out of the circuit :)
Cheers .

TThanks Riley,Congratulations Mr Burch. Great to see another Thruster rejoining the dwindling headcount of traditional rag & tube. I still consider a TST (or T300) as one of the most fun aircraft on the books. Also, I reckon you were taught by one of the original Thruster tragics as there wouldn't be many people left who are more knowledgeable on Thrusters than Jim. If I get an extended life span I may even get my Gemini back in the air someday. Enjoy your machine. cheersI i agree on the fun stakes ,she is hard to beat, pitty someone is not still making them !!
YYes Jim is the man ok,Top bloke and very good fun to fly with! His grass strip and hanger is a great set up as well , eeven has a caravan you may stay in next to the hanger :)
Good luck with the Gemini!
