Yeah, I know, "what are you doing flying over tiger country?!"... It's not as bad as it looks - there's a few roads, button-grass plains and shallow lakes and rivers - all preferable to hard rock. Not any different than flying across Bass Strait really, and that's a very regular occurrence by LSA's. And, don't forget, it's always more risky driving to the airport. Many would disagree, but it's a risk I'm prepared to take for the sensational views.

Yes davidmason1, I was taught by Peter Reed. Very thorough, thoughtful, and a real nice bloke to boot.

Hi Everyone Yes, I am the Wandering Foxbat" on YouTube. Keep watching, there's heaps more on the way. For Flying Vizsla: yes I am a geologist - how'd you guess? We don't often fly sub-zero - in fact, if it is sub-zero at Wynyard it's often 5 degrees warmer at 1500'. The Foxbat has a cabin heater, but I've never used it - I've not felt the need to. If I'm flying at altitude above the mountains, I wouldn't be there unless it was sunny (for filming), so the sun warms the cabin pretty nicely. Yet to experience carby icing in the Foxbat... As regards the CASA directive on external cameras, Foxbat Australia have advised that Aeroprakt Ukraine need to approve the particular modification - I intend to follow this course. For Boxfat: I know of two other red Foxbats in Tassie. We are well represented down here. Cheers Garyt

Hi from a new member Touchdown from The Flying Rock Doctor, based in Wynyard, Tasmania. I fly a red Foxbat A22LS exploring the magnificent landscapes of Tasmania. Very interested to hear members' views on the latest CASA ruling on attachment of external cameras... Cheers Gary
