Captain Beaver Posted October 10, 2021 Author Share Posted October 10, 2021 Great to see some pics - mine is coming along nicely but has been a much bigger project then anticipated. Does anyone locally carry any bushes for these (getting some made is taking some time). Also can I fit the rear firewall to my TST/T300? Can I make one or do I have to get a factory one? So many questions so little time! I got power into the system so just finalising the new fuel lines and then will see if it starts and runs - fingers crossed! Happy landings!

It would be good if you had a wrecked one for parts . Sure to be few in the back of sheds collecting dust. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SAJ Posted October 11, 2021 Share Posted October 11, 2021 I have the same problem, I'm in QLD and I brought an Aero Pup which is in NSW. Hopefully the borders will open up soon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kasper Posted October 12, 2021 Share Posted October 12, 2021 Still brings a smile to my face to remember the T300 I first went for a TIF in back in Dec 1986 over in SA ... blood ran a bit cold when the instructor nearly fell into the prop when pull starting the 503 with me strapped in ... but after we were in the air the Thruster was and remains the bees knees of Australian ultralights ... Drifters are fun and the Lightwing is comfy but the Thruster had my heart from that day. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Methusala Posted October 12, 2021 Share Posted October 12, 2021 I heard a rumour, (I heard it on the grapevine...) that my aircraft was effectively demolished when the storage shed collapsed due storm damage.

Technically you cannot make any modifications without approval, a costly process. Although I have a t500 the t300 is nice if you want to look around, having 360° visibility. One advantage of the back wall is it firms up the seat backs. I have seen this over come with a piece of wood about 50x15mm screwed to the seat at the top and resting against the uprights. This thread has a good title, we should continue it discussing all things Thruster. 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrendAn Posted October 12, 2021 Share Posted October 12, 2021 What is the best oil currently available for a 582. Mineral oil that is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Methusala Posted October 12, 2021 Share Posted October 12, 2021 (edited) Castrol 2t is "the good oil". Mineral based so it sticks to the bores over time, synths tend not to. Edited October 12, 2021 by Methusala 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see jacks and my t300s have rear walls. Must have been fitted to the later builds maybe. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SAJ Posted October 24, 2021 Share Posted October 24, 2021 G'day Brendan sorry I haven't replied sooner. I went away flying on the weekend. I've got 2 weeks off over Christmas so I am hopping to go then. The rear bulkhead on Jacks T300 is home made, Iv'e still got the aluminium tubing to make the rear fuselage it into a T500 in my hanger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will go back through my logs and see IF it was a home made addition? Would have to be probably factory sanctioned for. 23 rego aircraft? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
