recflyer Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 What other uses can you think of for this aircraft (i.e.: take camping, movement of stores on a property etc)? [MEDIA=audio]http://traffic.libsyn.com/goflying/Go_Flying_Australia_Podcast_014.mp3[/MEDIA] Click here for the Itunes link Click here for the Show Notes Todays interview is with Mike Sharples who has designed and built a light aircraft called the Avocet which could one day be the 'ute of the skies' at his property in rural South Australia. Mike first appeared on the podcast on episode 3 where we talked about Kit Building. I really like the look of this aircraft and the fact that it has so many potential missies it can achieve for the owner.

Litespeed Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 It would make a great little air ambulance/flying doctor plane and not cost millions to run or fly each year. Would be excellent as a community health plane for the outback areas. Fantastic effort 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
