  1. Hi guys, just back in Alice after a couple of weeks in central NT with no coverage. Yes I am building an Explorer and welcome contact from anyone interested in building a rag and tube airplane. Im no expert but I can't believe how easy it is to build. The kit is coming along nicely, I'm on day 15 now ( when I get back home in about another week ) and the wing dry fitting has been completed. Then the wings are to be removed and engine and instruments dry fitted. If my work with the mining company holds off I'm sure the covering would only be weeks away. What I really like is being able to tailor the Explorer to suit myself, already I am adding extra fuel tanks and a larger roof window, pic below. Stefan from KFA is a world of info and answers any build questions immediately.Steve

    Hi Steve L. I live in Gawler and would love to chat to you about your Bushbaby- I guess you have finished it by now.

     

     

  2. Welcome Landrewver. Towitta is that the location of a 1902 cut throat murder mystery in regional South Australia that remains a curiosity?

    Yes- very true. And I own the land around the school where said victim (Bertha Schippan) probably had her schooling-fascinating history

     

     

  3. Welcome LD, nice to have another South Australian in board. I've flown over Towitta many times but never knew it was there. Where do you fly from and what do you fly?

    Have been learning at ASC in a J170. But have a yearning for taildraggers:)
