dazza 38

I have a Ctek smart charger and it works as advertised.

Correct I was referring to the pilot.

I went to the 1998 and 2008 shows, great events.

Should have gone to spec savers.

It didn’t perform as well as the Tecnams at the school hence it went.Mind you it was a bit like comparing a Apple to an Orange as the Tecnsm Golf take off weight is 544 KG and the Brumby 600 KG on the same power.

A flying school I used to hire aircraft from sold a Rotax 912 powered high wing not long after buying it. The reason was it had a very poor climb performance sure they could have put a finer pitch prop on it but cruise speed would have suffered. Pretty heavy empty weight.

Bring in the FAA version of their Psrt 103 ultralight rules. Then you will have affordable aviation in this country.

Of course you can fly it Barry as it is the same aircraft type . The only difference is whether it has numbers or letters for registration. Can you fly it legally, of course not. So don’t get caught.

I have some hanger space left in my clothes closet .

Aircraft manufacturers and dealers need a reality check if they think they can flog off two seat aircraft for $280 000 to the masses.

What a rip off, when potentail buyers wake up to thenselves and realise they’re getting bent over a barrel. They will soend their money else where.

I have been following Blackwing on FaceBook since they started. Nice aircraft . Just need to win lotto.

It is long over due for Australia to implement the USA Part 103 Ultralight regulations so people on a budget can buy single seat ultralights and fly them without a licence and not be bent over and have to a member of any organisation. That will bring ultralight flying back good days where flying was very affordable to the masses.

Australia's most popular glider.

I find it very hard to believe that they will be selling completed aircraft initially for only $130 000 US. No wonder the have so many $2000 deposits.

Shouldn't the forum heading be ' Radio control' instead of Remote control ?

I seamed to have left the h off the end of Murwillumbah. Sorry about that.

Aircraft missing from Murwillumba, an search has been conducted this afternoon. A witness has come forward saying that they saw a wing come off a green coloured plane. Nothing confirmed at this stage. Was on Gold Coast 9 news.

True, I haven't flown since Major Millards accident. I am too busy riding motorbikes. Maybe one day I will get back into the saddle. Having worked on jets for 12 years previously, it is kind of in my blood and I still check in on this site every Sunday morning.

Hi Gareth, I like to keep in touch.

Not exactly a new design, the Super STOL has been available in kit form and has been flying around for a fair while now.

RIP John

RIP mate. Steve passed away on or around the 27 th of August. There's information on his send off on his facebook page which is still active. Many thanks to Steve Dines for contributing to his page with information.

Yup I have not read the electronic version. Well I skipped through the first couple of additions and that was enough for me.
