sseeker Posted January 8, 2011 Posted January 8, 2011 Hi Pud, Yeah I did end up going, forgot to PM you, sorry about that! Is Jack getting a new aeroplane? Do you know what type? It's a nice setup alright, lots of friendly club members. I was flying at sunset without the doors, piece of cake really, handles the same. Regards, Andrew
Mike S Posted January 12, 2011 Author Posted January 12, 2011 Hi Andrew, Thanks for the feedback. That's badluck! yes, I realise I will have trouble finding a CA25 taildragger - there were not a lot made [10 I think was the number ] and at least one has been crashed and two went O/S - that doesn't leave many! just about given up on it so I'm starting to think about an alternative - like a Kitfox, Avid or similar, which leads me away from factory built to homebuids and not cross hire to my school which I and some others had hoped would be possible! Thanks for the feedback - and to everyone else - thanks also, Mike.

Regards, Andrew Forgot to reply to your post earlier sseeker, I believe its a Thorpe T18?? But probably just a toy for Jack:)
Mike S Posted February 4, 2011 Author Posted February 4, 2011 Hi Andrew, I thought I'd replied to you earlier but can't find the reply so maybee I didn't? 55-3845 for sale? If so & not sold I'd be interested in talking & photos and information! Thanks, Mike S
sseeker Posted February 4, 2011 Posted February 4, 2011 Hi Mike, 55-3845 was for sale but it was sold and is being cross hired by my school. If you're interested in the other skyfox taildragger at Bindoon, let me know and I'll get some photos, info and contact number for you! Regards, Andrew
Mike S Posted February 7, 2011 Author Posted February 7, 2011 Hi Andrew, yes, am interested - Is it a Skyfox and is it factory built as I was hoping to cross hire to my school for tailwheel conversion training. could you email info. to me? At both: [email protected] and [email protected] Thnaks, Mike.
facthunter Posted February 7, 2011 Posted February 7, 2011 If I had a Skyfox, I definately wouldn't be cross hiring it to any school. While the Gazelle is the most docile and forgiving plane around, The Skyfox is not the most predictable handler for landing. You would expect it to get bent at some stage by a student. Nev
Guest CA25008 Posted February 14, 2011 Posted February 14, 2011 I have a CA25008 in need of some repairs if interested mike i,m C172 now. Cheers

Blueadventures Posted March 11, 2011 Posted March 11, 2011 Hi Andrew I'm after a copy of the CA22 flight manual and also the performance & specifications. Do you have a contact for the owner / operator of the one in Bigdoon or if you see the owner some time could you get contact details for me so I can ask him to scan a copy or post over a photo copy of the flight manual etc. Thanks Mike
sseeker Posted March 12, 2011 Posted March 12, 2011 Hi Mike, Next time I'm at Bindoon I'll ask for you. Should be next weekend. -Andrew
Blueadventures Posted March 17, 2011 Posted March 17, 2011 Thanks Andrew Even just phots of the flight manual would be a great help. Cheers Mike
Mike S Posted March 25, 2011 Author Posted March 25, 2011 Hi Mike, The boys at Coldstream in Victoria have the Aircraft & engine manual on a CD. They will send it to you if you contact them - look at the thread under this forum for repairs to Skyfox or similar - if you can't find it get back via this sight and I'll look it up for you! Mike S.
Mike S Posted March 25, 2011 Author Posted March 25, 2011 Hi Andrew, Haven't heard from you re the Skyfox T.G. at Bindoon, did you get back & I missed it? Mike S.
sseeker Posted March 26, 2011 Posted March 26, 2011 Hi Mike, Sorry haven't been to Bindoon for a while, I've sent an email to a person at my club who will probably know the seller so I'll get the contact details for you. Should be able to get some pictures ASAP. Regards, Andrew
sseeker Posted March 26, 2011 Posted March 26, 2011 Hi Mike, Got this email from the CFI at my flying school, Hi Andrew,The aircraft has not flown for 2 - 3 years, has damage history and needs someone with a strong engineering capability to bring it back into service, and also satisfy themselves of the repairs made after it groundlooped. I dont know what the asking price is - sorry. Jack If you're still interested let me know. Regards, Andrew 1
Guest TJWA Posted September 1, 2015 Posted September 1, 2015 Hi, if that's Skyfox 55-3845 CA25 that aircraft is for sale at the moment at the Collie automotive wrecker for $6K. I heard it had a hard landing at Bindoon. It's pretty bent up underneath. Apparently the 912 has done 1480 hrs.
biggles182 Posted November 13, 2015 Posted November 13, 2015 HI The Geelong Aero Club has a Skyfox that is being restored and is close to finished I believe all new fabric and all Ads. Asking $24K.
ave8rr Posted November 14, 2015 Posted November 14, 2015 HIThe Geelong Aero Club has a Skyfox that is being restored and is close to finished I believe all new fabric and all Ads. Asking $24K. CA22 or CA25? The 25 has a higher MTOW (520kg) same as the Gazelle. I think there were only about 10 built. Mike
biggles182 Posted November 15, 2015 Posted November 15, 2015 CA22 or CA25? The 25 has a higher MTOW (520kg) same as the Gazelle. I think there were only about 10 built.Mike Mike It is a CA21 Rego 55-615 (TTIS 156.10) with an Aeropower engine I can’t find the MTOW. The aircraft had hangar damaged and the Club purchased it from Don Landers, as a project with the intention of having it restored for sale. As restorations don’t happen overnight enthusiasm waned and the committee decided to move it on as is just to recover costs Bryan see http://qam.com.au/?wpfb_dl=8Cached
