SU30

Well tyres are on the rims thanks to a local motor bike shop. They even sourced new tubes with right angle valves. Save a lot of trouble getting them to do it.

I have already drilled the offset holes as per the manual, so I guess I'm stuck with that. I took the tyres to a motor bike shop and they put the tyres on with a lot of lube and sweat but they only did one wheel. They think that the standard tube and valve may cause problems and friction on landing? Not sure if they can get a different tube and valve set up but will try. I have seen some right angle valves on one Savannah but again they weren't the standard kit tyre. Has any one using the standard tyre sourced different tubes?

How did you end up going with your tyres? I'm having the same issues trying to fit mine. Do you need special lube rather than soap? or did you go for other tyres?

Mark, do you when Rick passed away?

It is hard to believe and will be great loss. Always looked forward to catching up with him and he always went out of his way to help

Great job there, only hope mine turns out just as good. One day I'll get there.

Thanks Bob, sounds like I maybe on the right track then.

Has anybody had any experience building or for that matter flying the Typhoon or Cyclone from Homebuilt avaiation? www.homebuilt-aviation.com

Just had a look at your review on FullFlap.TV. Great job look forward to your next review

G'day all, I have always wanted to fly but never really thought I could afford it until now. I have completed about 5 hours in a Cessna at the Aero Club, then discovered a open day down at Serpentine and was truly amazed by the type of aircraft around. The cost is really only like the cost of some boats so now I am thinking, I don't have a boat so why not buy a plane instead. You can justify anything if you want to I guess.

I have prepaid for another half dozen lessons at the Aero Club so I might as well complete them, and next I will start looking for a flying school to start learning to fly on an ultralight or LSA. I think Northam or Bindoon WA are the closest. Not sure of the type of flying I want to do yet but WA is a big state and there is a lot to see from the air.
