Thruster88

Totally agree with Jim. For me RAA should be about simple regulation of simple aircraft and flying schools, leave the aviation business to commercial operators (profit or loss)

176k might buy a paddock near Canberra big enough for an AIRFIELD

It is worth reading about this one on wickipeadìa if only for the what not to do at airshows

Town in NSW runway is sealed

Protech PT 2 ?

Boeing 314

Dick came to this event in his Citation

Must be nice to have the yellow handle when it goes wrong

This one may have been done

To add a bit of a twist, what is unusual about this aircraft?

A well travelled Thruster any body requonize it

RAA website this morning says we have flown 150,609.1 hrs in the first 67 days of 2018

365/67 X 150609.1 equals 820,481 hours for 2018

2017 379,646 hrs

Unbelievable growth ?

Yeah that approach would be to be expected in gusty winds.Easy to overanalyse things like this but that is how we learn I guess. Did he have left Aileron held in as well or is that just made to look that way due to flaperons with flap set?

As for rudder I only have a small screen so can't really tell what it is doing until after he is well around to the left where you can see left rudder input BUT that could entirely be because of the cockpit angle at that time. A bigger screen may make the rudder input clearer earlier on.

It's all about the margin

Left wheel first drags left

Land it like a tail dragger it will do the tail dragger thing

Bugger! How much wind?

Wow. Rudder and elevator? How did she handle?

This was a 3 axis mk3 Scout with the big 18hp robin good performance with my weight.

Is that you George Orwell?At Airstrip one?

Can't say Big brother may be watching

Veteran Status - Well done. Do you still have the Scout?.

No I sold it when I got the thruster
