That's the one, I was at Angelfield a month or two back. The builder who I bought her from has recently completed a Carbon Cub. He sure did a good job. I hope to get to the next Murgon fly-in, come over and say hi! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NT5224 Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 Oh, so here's where the real flyers post? :) Some of you folks from the Northern Rivers may recognise the wonderful machine I acquired from your district a few months back: Its kinda distinctive! But I've since flown it up to its new home on the real 'Northern Rivers' -up in the Top End. Although I hadn't tail-dragged since the very start of my flight training (some years ago), I found it incredibly forgiving to fly and land. Its not 'twitchy' -like some of the newer high performance aircraft. I'd make a great solid aircraft to learn to fly on -if only it was a 24 reg! Gonna rack up a hundred hours or so in it, get to understand how it flies and then consider whether I want to change the prop and possibly beef up the undercarriage for flying off my own bush strip. The Top End is your playground with one of these! Cheers Alan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
