Newbie in Mackay Region

[Captain Kramer]

Hello Aviators,

 

My name is Shane and I live at Eton and absolutely love recreational flying and the movement in general. I was a Helicopter Mechanic in the Navy for 15 years but have moved back home to Mackay to start it fresh. I don't have many hours but near the end of a long restoration of a Nostalgair N-3 Pup and currently looking for a place to keep it out of the weather and to do a lot of flying in the coming months.

 

I am looking forward to catching with as many of you guys as possible and talk about all things that fly.

 

Kind regards

 

Shane

Hi Shane and . The N-3 Pup looks great - exactly the sort of fun little machine that recreational flying is all about IMO.

 

Keep us posted on your progress - look forward to hearing about its completion.

 

Cheers,

Hi Shane Welcome. Re hangar give Mr Mal a message. Recently he offered me a space at Palmyra, it could still be available. He is presently in the start of the building stage. I have not actually met him in person yet and not sure where he is at with the hangar. Other than that I don't know of any others spot available at present.

 

Cheers

Hey Hongie, my N-3 Pup is powered by a Global (1/2 VW) 35 Hp engine she goes alright but will have my fingers crossed when it comes time to weight it. I have added weight and I have lost weight so hopefully that will cancel everything out.
