its all good I downloaded it and worked it out, can't beleive how real it is!!

Now I don''t have to miss out on "flying at Boonah" due to all this bad weather we are having.

just a quick note, I have downloaded the file, would anyone be able to help me actually loading it onto the game itself, like step by step, Im hopeless with computers....

wow thanks heaps for that, I didn't know it was for free, I would have paid for it!

I am off to the airfield now to give 7600 a good wash....

Hey Dave, I just (finally) bought FSX and hope to get hold of the boonah scenery (got a link? LOL)

I'd be keen to be around when you do the demo or whatever, also, a young fella (scott) has just started doing a bit of work at airsport and he is a mad keen sim fanatic so I will tell him too.

Oh how I love Boonah airfield..........................

Hahaha

G'day!

Wow sounds like you are very connected to the "Riddle of the Stinson" - so to speak HAHA

Like I have said it has always captured my imagination, growing up in the area and now flying around those hills.....

Glenn Cochrane will send you as many copies as you like, email him on [email protected] and he will send it to you free of charge. Please definitely tell him about your connection to the story as he is a fanatic of the Stinson aircraft/story as well.

Hope I have helped.

Correct, the P92 is the Tecnam high wing range, the P92 Echo Classic has a flat belly and usually the 80hp 912, the P92 Super Echo is an updated version, round fuselage etc.. and the latest of the P92 models is the Eaglet, which is like a modernised Super Echo.

There is also the P2004 Bravo, similar to a super echo but with cantilever wing with no struts, and then the new P2008 model with composite fuselage....

Awesome

I would love to go to Luskintyre one day. I could watch DH82's from sun up until sun down..............

As for exact specs I don't have them on me right now but the Sierra has a different wing which is laminar flow and tapered and gives a better cruise speed but not as nice low speed handling as you will find in the golf so they can be a bit trickier to fly.

I am sure there are other differences for example the Sierra has hatches on the cowling for ease of inspection whereas the golf requries the cowl to come off. Newer Sierras have the modern Panel like you will see in the Eaglet.

If you are looking for actual specs on the P96 golf Greg has them at Airsport....

Boonah is hosting the Australian Gliding Grand Prix in March 2011

Ah cool makes sense now, thanks for the tip.

Hey Tomo good on you for passing the GFPT. Hey how did running on a leaner mixture solve the large maggy drop? Did you richen it for t/o?

What is the n.e.s?

Hello, welcome to the site.

I fly out of Boonah too, I did my PPL training with Steve Tadeucci at Gil Layts, really enjoyed it.

Nice landing at Kilcoy, that's how it's done, with the nosewheel held off for as long as you can!

Would love to see you at Boonah

I know of an airpark being planned for Silverdale, beside the Cunningham Hwy near Warrill View and Mount Walker.

Great video Tomo. Interesting to note that your drifter gets the same tail shake that I was talking about in another thread, I guess it must be a common Drifter thing and seems more noticable on climb out.

Glad you got away with it and have learned, and hopefully others will read and learn how quickly you can get into trouble. Many others, including experienced instrument rated pilots were not so lucky, they are now dead.

frankmcm, you're right about one thing....

It was a stupid thing to do and you should be more careful in future or stay on the ground.

Yes there is a point where you can turn back, just recently at Boonah I got an instructor to jump in the back seat of the Drifter (SB582) and it can definitely be done safely.

I think it's a great idea.

Both sectors of aviation should be able to grow and prosper, not at the expense of one and other.

There are many "recreational" GA pilots.
