Have had 2 , first a VH regd nose wheel with 80 HP rotax....very easy to fly in all respects. Being only half span ailerons , not super responsive in roll compared to a long-ez I have owned. Then had a tail wheel model with jab 2200. Similar except just a bit more care on landing. It was changed over to raaus eventually. Both engines send them along happily at 105 knots IAS. No nasty surprises that I ever experienced. Just prefer the long ez....but not as passenger friendly.

Gary was one of my flying mates from way back....we learned in a Drifter at South Grafton about the same time, both into bikes and we both flew paragliders together. Sad loss to a lovely family.

HAVEN'T LOOKED AT THE PLANE YET ...WANTED TO BE FORE ARMED RE THE MOTOR WHICH IS NOT WORTH SPENDING TIME ON AS I SUSPECTED. JUST A BIT OF AUSSIE AVIATION HISTORY NOW. STILL DECIDING ON THE U2...HOPEFULLY SOMEONE ELSE WILL BUY IT AND PUT ME OUT OF MY MISERY. HAVEN'T GOT THE SPARE CASH TO RE-ENGINE AT PRESENT BUT THE PLANE WAS A CHEAP PROJECT. ON ANOTHER TOPIC HAS ANYONE SEEN THE MZ RANGE OF 2 STROKERS? THEY HAVE BEEN AROUND A LONG TIME MZ. SEE Compact Radial Engines FOR MAYBE THE SUCCESSOR TO THE ROTAXES ROB

So definitely not one to spend time on. Sounds like a re-engining project. Thanks for that....the brainstrust comes thru again! Rob

Stewarts strip Really only a one way strip ....approach from the east. Large gum trees on the north side mean very mean wind shear in a northerly wind. A slow, high drag ultralight could make it in from west. Rob
