Where is the 30 kg luggage compartment located FK?

450 nm Norfolk, 480 Howe, 300 odd aussie coast. .......That being said, the "pucker factor" would be up there.....Makes my looking at a trip to Indo over 300 odd miles (and a few islands) look pretty tame...

Maybe fly the "Bat" over?

Are you going for big flying holiday in Australia FK?

Thanks guys, that is really helpful!

Hi. How easy is it to obtain a full RA-Aus licence if I am the holder of an Advanced National licence in NZ? Has anyone done this?

Congratulations. What you say matches what others have said and my own observations. The side door would be very convenient to load/unload messy stuff. Others have said that the finish is much better on the Foxbat. I do not think that the Savannah could have a shorter ground roll than the Foxbat. If you are getting a red one, it will look fantastic.

I can confirm the longer delivery times. Mine looks like closer to 9 months until it arrives here in April. Was a bit disappointed with this as I got quoted 6 months at the outside when I ordered as well. That said, it'll be worth the wait for a factory built, very tidy and flexible STOL aircraft. I have flown in Sav's and they are good, but I think the edge is in the factory finish, a little nicer in the detail and amazing space and visibility. As an aside, I'm optioning my 22-LS with the side door and aluminium luggage compartment - 30kg with easy access vs. trying to stuff a bag behind the seats in the Sav, without much success is also a big plus in my view.

Happy to join you from New Zealand
