benberg Posted January 30, 2011 Posted January 30, 2011 Does anyone know of hangar space around Brisbane for my Jabiru J230? It's currently at YHEC and I'm relocating. (I'm new to the site too ). Plan B would be leaving it outside, if someone could recommend a covers manufacturer. 1
Spin Posted January 30, 2011 Posted January 30, 2011 First off welcome aboard, hope you enjoy the site and the company. I'm quite obviously not spending enough time out at the field, I didn't realise there were any J230's onsite. Which part of Brisbane, long way to travel to Caboolture if you're at Redland Bay, say? If you're anywhere from the City, south I'd suggest staying where you are. Most places around here will tell you that they don't have hangarage, however experience has shown that if you hang around and are politely persistent, something turns up sooner or later. I know Boonah has some new hangars although I believe they are fully subscribed, there are also a variety of private strips out Gatton way, some of which were badly affected by the floods, so tread a bit warily with bruised spirits out there. Only covers I've had anything to do with are Punkinhead (spelling?), fitted quite nicely and seemed to do the job, although the owner complained that they were quite pricey. I know some people do leave their Jabiru outside, but I'd only consider it as a temporary measure myself.
SilverWing Posted January 30, 2011 Posted January 30, 2011 I have a hangar for sale at Redcliffe - if you're interested in buying.
rdarby Posted January 30, 2011 Posted January 30, 2011 Kilcoy may be an option, depending again on where you live.
benberg Posted January 30, 2011 Author Posted January 30, 2011 Thanks Spin. I worked on site near Chinchilla and my plain was hangared there for the last 6 months. (It is only 6 months old so I'm obviously not to keen to leave it out in the elements). Due to the weather I couldn't fly it back to YCCA so I had to leave it at YHEC. On my return to site (after the water receded) I was told to return to the Brisbane office which leaves me in a bit of a predicament wrt hangarage. I live in Mansfield and have a couple of friends at Heckfield. It would be ideal if I could get hangar space over there. I'll keep shopping around for covers as a back-up plan. I had to leave it outside (YHEC) over Christmas for a week and when I got back, the ants called it home after theirs were flooded.
benberg Posted January 30, 2011 Author Posted January 30, 2011 Will you please give me more info. (e.g. Size, single/more plane space, price etc.)?
benberg Posted January 30, 2011 Author Posted January 30, 2011 Thanks mate. I live south at Mansfield
frank marriott Posted January 30, 2011 Posted January 30, 2011 [ATTACH]13022.vB[/ATTACH]Saw a complete cover on a Jab for outside parking - Unable to help with details or cost though Frank
benberg Posted January 31, 2011 Author Posted January 31, 2011 That's awesome Frank. I hope someone has more details on this....
benberg Posted February 1, 2011 Author Posted February 1, 2011 Thanks Dexter! The full cover for the J230 including the prop cover from Punkinhead is about $1600 for the LW and $1750 for the HW. Will you please be so kind to give me a link to the fans? that's a great idea! Regards Ben
benberg Posted February 1, 2011 Author Posted February 1, 2011 Thanks mate! I'd like to hear if it works.
