Guest Maj Millard Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 Tony Stevens' new used 582 Lightwing arrived today from Gatton area via Dingo Roadhouse...3 hours Dingo to Townsville with 90 kts groundspeeds ( forecast 11 Kts on the tail). Currently keeping 'Miss Adventure 2' company until Steve gets his shed up and organised. Will post more photos when I get a chance....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shags_j Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 Can you get these factory built and does anyone have a price range? They look like a good option for a first aircraft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes the 582's are about just keep you eyes on the mag. Keep asking Maj. and Doug they are like blood hounds regarding the LW's. Those two they are on the sale scent all the time. You will not go wrong with a LW. Regards KP. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
planedriver Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 That looks a real neat little aircraft for the money. Many hours of enjoyment to be had in that one, i'm sure:thumb up:. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Maj Millard Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 Yes they are a great little machine for the price....I had a look over the new /used one yesterday, and sat in with the new owner while he did some engine runs and taxing . Very well maintained by prev owner, and the new owner is very happy with his purchase. He prefers to do the low/ slow looking around type flying and this machine should be perfect for him.
