JUSTNUZZA Posted January 3, 2013 Posted January 3, 2013 New to the top of my wish list is the Italian built Blackshape Prime. Cruise @ 75 % 275 km at 18 Lph. 2
dazza 38 Posted January 3, 2013 Posted January 3, 2013 That will be on my shopping list if I win Lotto.
frank marriott Posted January 3, 2013 Posted January 3, 2013 150kts in aeroplane talk...... Kph in aeroplanes doesn't compute to me 1
facthunter Posted January 3, 2013 Posted January 3, 2013 With maps in NM's doesn't make sense to talk Klm's. That looks nice but the raked back tail would be just for looks. It probably fly's very well. Tandem seat. Clean but would that be popular? I don't mind it but what about most others? Nev
Deskpilot Posted January 3, 2013 Posted January 3, 2013 Don't get Ian started on this one. He was somewhat impassioned when it was called The Millennium.
JUSTNUZZA Posted January 3, 2013 Author Posted January 3, 2013 That will be on my shopping list if I win Lotto. Got a rough quote for it with the 912is. About $250,000 in Aus dollars.
facthunter Posted January 3, 2013 Posted January 3, 2013 Then it's the plaything of millionaire's. Back to my Taylorcraft "generic" Nev
JUSTNUZZA Posted January 3, 2013 Author Posted January 3, 2013 Then it's the plaything of millionaire's. Back to my Taylorcraft "generic" Nev Your right Facthunter. I don't think it will appeal to to many people's budgets in the RA category.
djpacro Posted January 4, 2013 Posted January 4, 2013 With maps in NM's ?... All the aviation maps that I use have kms too. Don't get Ian started on this one. Let's hope he doesn't notice. Back to my Taylorcraft "generic" Nev sister ship to your 7ECA may be looking for a good home soon.
facthunter Posted January 4, 2013 Posted January 4, 2013 Yes DJP, but they don't divide in to a useable number x60 for a degree of latitude. I use it as my scale reference. 1976 build is it? My days of being able to afford one are GONE .Alas. Nev
Teckair Posted January 4, 2013 Posted January 4, 2013 I know where there is Pulsar for sale, better looking (tail wheel), does 125 knots on 80 HP, 14 litres per hour, and a lot less money, about 65K.

Guest Howard Hughes Posted January 4, 2013 Posted January 4, 2013 New to the top of my wish list is the Italian built Blackshape Prime. Cruise @ 75 % 275 km at 18 Lph. You have a Bristelle and you lust after a Blackshape? Did you check out the useful load? PS: I love the Blackshape, but the Bristelle is far more practical!
kgwilson Posted January 4, 2013 Posted January 4, 2013 Looks very nice, but it should for 250 grand. Side by side for me. I like to occasionally look at the person I am flying with when having a conversation especially on a trip, more especially so when the person is young, female and good looking. It is also good to check their body language especially in turbulence etc when they may be quite uncomfortable or even half scared to death but don't want to say anything. You can then adjust your speed/height etc & watch how more relaxed they appear without a word being said. 1
facthunter Posted January 4, 2013 Posted January 4, 2013 Horrible!!! You shouldn't have scared the poor young thing in the first place. Nev
rankamateur Posted January 4, 2013 Posted January 4, 2013 Horrible!!! You shouldn't have scared the poor young thing in the first place. Nev And she may have only looked at the pilot in that convenient side by side placement, may have just been too close and uncomfortable to bear.
JUSTNUZZA Posted January 4, 2013 Author Posted January 4, 2013 You have a Bristelle and you lust after a Blackshape? Did you check out the useful load?PS: I love the Blackshape, but the Bristelle is far more practical! They are in the process of getting certification to 600kg. Also larger fuel bladders to improve range. Nothing wrong with my Bristell I am happy with it. Just saying the Blackshape is a fairly efficient machine.

dazza 38 Posted January 4, 2013 Posted January 4, 2013 Just wondering who copied who ? The Blackshape/Millenium looks nearly identical to the German manufactured Shark aircraft.
Galpin Posted January 4, 2013 Posted January 4, 2013 Our minister for Transportation has payed a visit to the Blackshape factory and made a number of comments. I wonder what's "blowin" in the wind?
dazza 38 Posted January 4, 2013 Posted January 4, 2013 Our minister for Transportation has payed a visit to the Blackshape factory and made a number of comments. I wonder what's "blowin" in the wind? Since the RAAF has just celebrated the PC9 being in service for 25 years and have flown 440 000 hours in service, they may be looking at this aircraft as a replacement under AIR 5428 project. Well they look similar & would be cheaper than the PC21 or the Beechcraft T 6.
Gnarly Gnu Posted January 4, 2013 Posted January 4, 2013 .... I wonder what's "blowin" in the wind? Probably nothing. During a junket you need to make a few calls here and there to be able to claim it as 'business'. As long as the ATO is OK with the rest of us doing it also....
djpacro Posted January 5, 2013 Posted January 5, 2013 1976 build is it? SLO came here at the same time as SAG.
facthunter Posted January 5, 2013 Posted January 5, 2013 There was a "group" of them. ( as you would know DJP). I wonder what the thought music was. As a spin trainer it is unorthodox for me as with "frise' ailerons it's spin entry is not conventional as I usually use out of spin aileron for entry as this is the way most inadvertent spins would occur. Wonder why they don't consider the Whitney Boomerang? Nice to see that Anthony Albanese knows little planes exist. He should inform CASA. Nev
