    Even simple items like horse floats I see all the time are poorly constructed from light materials and axles that snap clean like made off ice. People keep buying them to save money in initial purchase, only to find them unrepairable or expensive to rectify.

    Good outcome to walk away with only a dinged machine.

    First time as a student was in a Thruster T500, after my short break of 19 years it was a 2004 Sportstar then, like a Ferrari by comparison.

    This plane stuff is tricky. You have to think 5 steps ahead, what happens if I do this?, if it breaks what happens? I am putting a trim tab in a plane that did not have one to start with and its already been back to the think tank a few times. I like that all the thinking is being done by someone else on this one.

    Hi, do any members live near Maryborough that would be able to pack and post a small lot from the John fisher auction for me. I would be happy to pay for their services and costs. Got a scary quote from the company recommended by auction house. PM me if you can help. Cheers Clinton B

    I agree. Would want reversible prop pitch to not run away. Specs are great if you want to get somewhere fast but that valley strip looks like a supercub would be more at home.

    Whatever you do, if it's for you don't put it off. I had a 20 year gap between flying lessons and you can't gain it back ( the time). Have heaps of fun in your endeavours. Even the times when you don't get things just right are still learning points. Cheers and welcome. Clinton.

    This guy would have plans built this aircraft, and to do so would have taken skill. I doubt he would change the engine and not do a new w&b before hopping in it. It's a shame most people hear homemade and think of sticks and duct tape with an engine.

    Looks like the ragwing storch by the paint job, watched it on you tube a few times

    Is bex on holidays. Been a few days since an update.

    Sad, 10 news just reported he texted friends that he expected poor performance from the the aircraft due to the heat. It's probably hard to tell yourself on such a nice day that it's a no go. Horrible to watch and know it's not going to recover.

    My 2nd last flight, day was perfect at sun up, turned very gusty by 10am. Nice to see Chaffey dam full after years of low levels.

    all the South African guys said the same thing about my Bushbaby, lose the training wheel when it broke.
