eightyknots Posted February 7, 2012 Posted February 7, 2012 either area is ok, its about 5 hrs in the Savvy from Wollongong to Lightning ridge, 6 to Bourke. all non stop if you have a big enough bladder. You can get Savvys with long-range fuel tanks but how do you get humans with long-range bladders?
rankamateur Posted February 10, 2012 Author Posted February 10, 2012 If no one has any other suggestion or preference then we will go with the 10th March 2012. I will organise lunch and dinner Saturday and breakfast Sunday, lunch also Sunday for any short distance late departures so I will need definite interest by the week before because I will cater for you myself. Give it some thought, no one is going to be fussy about savannah exclusive, just bare in mind the the strip limitations.
rankamateur Posted February 11, 2012 Author Posted February 11, 2012 Mark We have 750m mowed grass roughly 15 33. 15 is the most open approach but is lands up the rise. It is just an ag strip though so is more suited to bush planes, might break the wheel off a Kingair.
Ultralights Posted February 19, 2012 Posted February 19, 2012 Nahhhh a kingair will get in there, let the insurance company worry about getting it out...
rankamateur Posted February 20, 2012 Author Posted February 20, 2012 Linda is due with our 2nd bub around the 20th of Febuary. I'm thinking I would probably be allowed to come down around the 10/3/12 if that suits anyone. No one has put up a date yet. What's everyone reckon. Reg told me this afternoon that this 10th and 11th March is a clash with Clifton fly-in, is that a problem to any one, post here if it is an issue.
rankamateur Posted February 27, 2012 Author Posted February 27, 2012 Savannah Muster is POSTPONED in favour of the Clifton Fly-in, I am still keen to have it, just need someone to suggest a more suitable date. 1
rankamateur Posted February 28, 2012 Author Posted February 28, 2012 YCFN Clifton 27 55.7S 151 50.8E on WAC3340, Just a tiny bit further away from Sutherland.
Ron Hoey Posted February 28, 2012 Posted February 28, 2012 Is anyone here interested in an under-wing camp over in north-west NSW, very near Aerokits, perhaps in March this year after the weather cools off a bit but before it gets too cold. Might be a good chance for some to have a shake down before a trip to Nat-fly at easter. Sounds like a great idea to me. Depending on work schedules of course, but please get it started and make it an annual event. And keep me informed, I'm keen. Ron.
Ballpoint 246niner Posted February 28, 2012 Posted February 28, 2012 I'll be there- already rostered off for Sat PM and overnight at the Bange Motel
rankamateur Posted February 28, 2012 Author Posted February 28, 2012 I will be at Clifton too, I am keen to a talk to you all about a better date for a bush muster, no one seems keen to nominate a date on here.
Tomo Posted February 28, 2012 Posted February 28, 2012 I may be there... depends as I'll be in Gympie again, but if the wx is right you never know what might end up in the sky and over the range...
rankamateur Posted March 9, 2012 Author Posted March 9, 2012 Clifton fly-in has now been cancelled due to a localised storm dumping 33mm of rain which is now pooled on the middle section of the runway! I am still keen to have a muster here, lets make it happen.
Kyle Communications Posted March 9, 2012 Posted March 9, 2012 Since it was cancelled there has been a savannah owners club fly to Kingaroy this weekend might be a better idea to redate your flyin Mark
rankamateur Posted March 9, 2012 Author Posted March 9, 2012 It is way too late to get organised for tomorrow and the next day, I was just trying to promote the discussion I had planned to have at clifton about a suitable date to try again. Who run the "Savannah Owners Club inc." maybe I should consult with them.
Kyle Communications Posted March 9, 2012 Posted March 9, 2012 Charles Mollison runs it here is his email [email protected]
rankamateur Posted March 10, 2012 Author Posted March 10, 2012 I had an email back from Charles and had a look at the calendar he gave me, the weekend of 1st -3rd June looks good to me, I will cut some extra wood and build a few bonfires!
Ballpoint 246niner Posted March 27, 2012 Posted March 27, 2012 I had an email back from Charles and had a look at the calendar he gave me, the weekend of 1st -3rd June looks good to me, I will cut some extra wood and build a few bonfires! If this doesn't conflict with Nor Aus( Monto) then I'm in. I think Monto is the following weekend( Queens Birthday)?
rankamateur Posted March 27, 2012 Author Posted March 27, 2012 Neil, I went through the calendar that Charles sent me, I don't think it clashes with anything, We are just going to do it then and see what happens. If the weather turns bad we will have a muster with no sheep, but such is life! Steve...

rankamateur Posted May 30, 2012 Author Posted May 30, 2012 Savannah muster is this Saturday and Sunday, I any one coming? If you are planning to come, need fuel provided , special diet or favorite mixers let me know by PM. I will have to sort all that out in town Friday. This is still a bit of a worry http://www.bom.gov.au/jsp/watl/rainfall/pme.jsp, good job they are usually wrong!
Kyle Communications Posted May 30, 2012 Posted May 30, 2012 By the look of it I would be selecting another date....I think the wx is going to be crap this weekend
