There are dorsal (top) fins or ventral (lower) fins. What is the difference in the placement of these?

Thread drift I know but hey. I drove up to the gate at Serpentine WA and rang a committe member whose number was on the gate. I was made enormously welcome with about a 1 1/2 hour intro through the hangars/members who were present. I came away with the most positive impression I have had from any flying fraternity and trust me I have visited dozens in many countries.

Probably could also be described as a wingnut.

rotax- owner.com is very good and will help you keep up with improvements. I referred to the site often when I flew my Foxbat. This site was my preferred option for Rotax enquiries whereas the Kitfox site was directly involved with the airframe and less so for the engine side. Still helpful though.

That is the forum I joined 15 years ago and gained a lot of knowledge from the community. Sadly no longer a Kitfox owner.

There is a Kitfox forum with a large membership. A great resource.

I completed the Jabiru course some years ago and it was not restricted to L2/L4. It may have changed. Ask those offering the course.

You need one if you require frequent unescorted access. Emphasise which part is you.

Statements being made today that the aircraft hit Phillip Rock.

From late 60s to 70s the RAAF flew Mystere Fanjet Falcons (Dassault) as VIP transport. Nice little units they were. I had a short flight on one but it was not my normal mode of transport.

172 for VH, Tecnam for RAA.

Kyneton Aero Club have both the 172 and Tecnam for instruction. GA and RAA covered nicely.

I imported an 8” matco pneumatic tail wheel from the US and considered it worthwhile. It made a big difference to the comfort compared to the solid wheel that was originally fitted. Going back about 8/10 years so I can’t add much more. The weight difference was minimal.

I have never used Social Australia so if it slips away I will not miss it.
