A newbie in our area?

[Guest ozzie]

 

Looks like a new player in our area. Flying early this morning around Greta. Wonder where he came from.

Ah i found out he lives a few streets away and fly out of Luskintyre. At last, something that flys slower than me.

So, it looks like his wings fell off so he bailed out?

 

 

[Guest ozzie]

Low slow and loud.

I got asked to fly in something similar at Turo (SA) by one of the guys from the Birdmen of Barossa flying group......Looks like great fun......

studentbiggles. Should have taken up the offer, as they say the one you knock back is the one you don't get.

The Aerochute is fun to fly! (*Warning* I may be a little biased here...)

 

Yep, they are slow - not really for XC, but highly manouverable - VERY STOL, extremely safe, great for observing/photography, herding stock, checking fences etc (and really, really low flying) !!

I reckon they would be great for feral animal control!!

A couple of skydiving friends tried one for shooting pigs years ago with one of the first ones made, they did ok until a tree got in the way.

Hence the lesson, Fly first, Navigate second, Communicate third. Shoot last :-)

I've never known an aircraft that likes trees!

You're right, we have several in our Club including on the Committee and they do keep us in line.

There actually recovery vehicles for failed Jab engines...

I tried introducing mine to a tree once ... but they don't play nice!
