Pilot Pete

Its funny how us aviation enthusiasts can look at something that looks like an overgrown balsa model or in the case of a tube frame a mechano kit and call it a thing of beauty and craftsmanship, and yet when most of us show our wives/girlfriends/partners, all they see is a jumble of sticks and steel. I wont tell you what I say when my missus asks me how she looks after an hour of make up and hair do. PS..... my apologies to all those wonderful women out there, especially my wife as this post was sent in jest.

Was speaking to Kev today after a training flight about this post and he asked me to mention that all his students learn to take off and land at Lynfield and all within the 20hr period. I for one wouldn't have it any other way and will most likely make it the home field for my own planes.

So are the gear legs actually made of timber?...............Cool

Awesome.... How do you manage to stand straight with all those gold stripes sitting on your shoulders?

Just relax and enjoy not having the instructor watching over you.

Congrats.............It really is a buzz aint it..

All my training flights start and end there and it sure does look narrow when coming in on final. A powered approach is always used when landing at Lynfield. It makes for good practice on keeping to the centre line and really makes you use the rudder.

I have PMéd my details. A copy would be nice and I'm glad I was able to have been able to have helped.

Me and the better Half

Do you have a manual for the engine?

Congrats...........know where your coming from.

Its been a while since Jack has been seen. Is he still about?

Only just found this thread. Congrats on your engagement

Sounds like you must dabble In foreign currency

With all the effort of passing the buck for no cents, Paddy must have been pooped

I cant see the Cents in it

No one has money up their bum. That's CRAP

Hey Guys and Gals..........this is all a moot point. REAL PILOTS FLY TAIL DRAGGERS:wink:

Gum tree is also a good source at times. http://www.gumtree.com.au/s-miscellaneous-goods/aircraft/k0c18319

I'm interested. Let me know.

It's all well and good to sit back and criticize a person , but unless we have been there and tried it ourselves then who are we to throw stones. Maybe we should just say thanks Wayne for your efforts and we hope the next to fill the position works as hard to get RAAUS rego's back on track.

Hear..Hear........I agree

My Corella uses a thin fiberglass and polycarbonate at the front of the fuselage as well and Dacron pre sewn wing skins that uses straps with cam locks to pull on tight

Ailerons, rudder, elevators. throttle.............the whole shebang.
