I do indeed. His bikes are sculptures. But useful - they go fast

@Old Koreelah sure wouldn't knock back a Superstol! But they're a bit exy. And Cub Crafters!! cripes! You can buy a factory built Savage Super Cub or Shock Cub for less than the price of a Cub Crafters kit sans engine...

No Doubt! I guess there's only one way to truly answer that question... Think I'm coming around to the idea tricycle gear STOL.

You know, I've been dreaming about doing the very same thing once I get my wings. Landing on the salt would be a blast but whether you'd get permission from the indigenous owners and the DLRA is the question.. The condition of the salt varies from year to year. Sometimes it's too wet and the event is cancelled. But if it's OK to race on, it would be OK to land on... (Spectators are allowed to drive their vehicles on the salt to get to the starting line and the pits). The DLRA camp (on the lake's edge) is on land owned Mt Ive homestead which has a strip. It's about 34kms from the DLRA camp. You could possibly hitch a ride in each day as some speed week people stay there. Or for bush planes there might be a suitably clear area close to camp - it's desert after all.. Has anybody explored these options? I can talk to the DLRA about it..

I'm in MPG1000. The Aust. record is 146mph. You should get down there man. It really is an amazing experience. I'm totally hooked. I've a web page: Skrunkwerks Custom Motorcycles

I'm sure i will be in same category - not as STOL as my aircraft! So a forgiving machine is the ticket. Of course I've googled the crap out of Zenith and Savanah. There certainly seems to be lots of them in Aussie, particularly the Savanah. (Still not entirely sure of the differences??) As someone who loves classic machinery, I'm drawn towards dragging the tail. Might get you into more marginal terrain but less forgiving. Do you have experience with both? Love to hear your thoughts..

After sailing the oceans and land speed racing, this is the last biggy to tick off! (Maybe) In love with STOL, Took a ride in a Savage Cub the other day. How much fun can a bloke endure? - thanks to Terry and Leo if you're on this forum.. Will be starting RA lessons about mid next year as I'm Still chasing a record on the salt (Lake Gairdner speed week is in March next year). Can't afford time and $$ to do 2 major bucket items at once.. In the meantime I'm boning up on as much STOL and general RA stuff as possible and this forum is a fine place to do it. Cheers to all Adrian
