recflyer Posted January 25, 2015 Author Share Posted January 25, 2015 Sounds good, you must be getting close to solo now! Was supposed to fly today, but the weather up here is uninspiring. Fun quiz at the end, and i like the transition sounds better on this one! Thanks for the good feedback. I am fairly close to solo but the weather has been terrible down this way lately, sounds like Sydney is getting some similar weather. I will hopefully expand the quiz for the next episode and try and get a regular schedule going. Thanks again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
recflyer Posted February 5, 2015 Author Share Posted February 5, 2015 The third episode of the Go Flying Australia Podcast was released yesterday! In this episode I will be playing Part 1 of an interview that I recorded with Mike Sharples ('Avocet' on the forum) who is an experienced Recreational Pilot and Kit Builder from South Australia (Part 2 will be in a later episode). This episode would be interesting for anyone who is a builder of kit aircraft or is interested in building kit aircraft in the future.

recflyer Posted February 7, 2015 Author Share Posted February 7, 2015 There is one quick correction podcast episode number 3. In the interview Mike said that the Aero Pup had aluminium wings but what he meant to say was that the Aero Pup has fabric covered wings and aluminium flaps and ailerons. http://www.aeropup.com On other matters did anyone get all the answers to the quiz questions below: Click here for these answers General Aviation 1.What are the 3 most produced civilian aircraft of all time? 2.

According to the FAA (Federation Aviation Authority) what is the maximum takeoff weight in pounds and stall speed in Kts for LSA in the USA. 3. Name all the Jabiru Aircraft available to be purchased in Australian in both kit form and factory built? Guess the aircraft quiz What aircraft am I? I first flew in 1978. I have two seats. My max takeoff weight was 760 kg. I was an attempt by a company to break into the two seat trainer market. I have a low wing. My production run was short. I have a lycoming engine. I have a t tail.

I had a great time talking to Howard Hughes from Australian Lightwing on the podcast. Howard is the owner of Howard Hughes Engineering which manufactures a number of single engine piston aircraft in Ballina, NSW. Howard tells a number of interesting and funny stories from his aviation career including: - Flying early hang gliders - Flying early ultralights - Test flying the first design of the Lightwing - Test flying a new propellor and having a mayday call responded to by a RAAF F111 I hope to be able to interview Howard for a part 2 to talk about his expanding range of light aircraft that he is building at Ballina. Please go to the Lightwing website below to check out the awesome Lightwing range of aircraft. Check out all of the Lightwing aircraft for sale here.

recflyer Posted February 28, 2015 Author Share Posted February 28, 2015 I thoroughly enjoyed listening to the Howard Hughes interview, he is a legend for having a go. Good work Adam. Thanks so much, I had such a great time chatting with Howard. I hope to talk further with him in the future about some of the exciting things his company is developing including a new aircraft. Is there anything more specific you would like to hear about and I can try and record some content around that? I hope you can stay with the podcast for the next few episodes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
