fallowdeer Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 Trip from Masterton to D'urville Island. Nothing from the air, just a few destination pics. Mate took his C150. About 100 nm from home. Public strip, about 700m, great day. Came back at 9000ft Peter 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
microman Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 Great aircraft the Savannah - they are becoming very popular down our way (Rangiora) - a new local agent has just sold 3 kits and has ordered another 4 . We already have 3 flying in our club. They seem to be a great compromise in that you can land in rough paddocks but still have a reasonable cruise for longer trips. Great way to cross the ditch (Cook Strait for the Aussies) - at 9000 ft - you obviously have a transponder and got clearance to that height.

Flyer Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 So whilst it wasn't a flight per se, it did occupy the whole Australia Day weekend...plus a couple of days. A mate and I had a wee drive from the east coast to the west coast to procure my first aircraft, a lovely ASW19B. 7000km in 6 days is a big trip 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pmccarthy Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 Flew the wife to Benalla for lunch yesterday. A short walk into the shady main street with a selection of cafes and restaurants to choose from. Lots of gliders towing off 08 left. Air wasn't too rough. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keith W Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 If I could figure out why the photos won't send from mr I-phone to my I-pad I could put up some photos, smart phone but not smart operator. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fishla Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 Another hour solo today. Great weather. Cruised a little way away and then returned to airfield for some circuits. Did 4 landings with various flap settings and some slipping. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IanR Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 Such a lovely day today had to go for a quick fly - local round Camden and back in the scenic way (via the river at 800 feet) followed by a few circuits. Youngest son was doing the flying so I just went along for the ride 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blueadventures Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 Went for a Valentines Day flight with my wife in our Nynja and the air was rose petal smooth and Sandy enjoyed the flight and the scenery. The dam is Kinchant dam just to the south of Marian. All going well will get another fly into tomorow or Tuesday. Cheers Mike 7 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyle Communications Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 What a great valentines day for the both of you. Still blowing here a bit so doubt if it would be too smooth down here. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nightmare Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 What a great valentines day for the both of you. Still blowing here a bit so doubt if it would be too smooth down here. I was talking with a guy who went for a fly out of Redcliffe this morning. He was saying it was very bumpy up to 1500ft and challenging crosswinds for take off and landings. I've been looking at the wind closely myself, it has improved today. I'm itchin to get back in the air... booked the plane for Thursday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DGL Fox Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 Yes I was down at RED today...very bumpy at 1500ft and still blowing...after the ex cyclone moves away over the next couple of days things should improve...yes Thursday is when I am looking to have a fly....

Cal Air 63 Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 Also at YRED today, had my first lesson this morning with Wayne from "Fly Now Redcliffe" in the Tecnam P92, bumpy at 1500ft, climbed up to 2500ft, smooth as silk. Crosswinds on the landing but. Did my (TIF) in the SportStar and enjoyed flying the aircraft, but I really like the Tecnam now! next lesson in 2 weeks, 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blueadventures Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 Today I took a good mate for a fly to the south of Marian (The hills are to the west of Sarina) and again the air was smooth. Also it gave him a break from his spitfire build. He was impressed with the Nynja and we discussed that the spitty will be faster and nippier :) I also made a place to secure my check list on the centre console. Can't get enough airtime in the Nynja, 35 hours now since first flight. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geoff13 Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 I went out from Caboolture yesterday. Kilcoy, Watts Bridge, Gatton Airpark, Clifton, Boonah, Heck Field then Home via the islands. Weather although it did get hot was beautiful for flying. Considering the terrible weather over the last few weeks it was brilliant. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
