smallbob Posted June 24, 2007 Share Posted June 24, 2007 Met a bunch of great people at the Camden Haven Fly-In (I was the bloke in the orange vest that waved at Everyone! I fly the Hastings District Flying Club's Foxbat and C172 out of Port Macquarie when I can afford it and I am (slowly) building a Zenith 601 HDS which, when finished, you will see everywhere. I am a retired Air Force and Civil Flight Engineer and I am involved with the Australian Air Force Cadets here in Port. Look forward to chatting to and meeting like-minded individuals.

Guest David C Posted June 24, 2007 Share Posted June 24, 2007 Hello Bob and welcome .... I wasn't at the flyin unfortunately so I can't lay claim to seeing you waving to everyone .

smallbob Posted June 27, 2007 Author Share Posted June 27, 2007 Thanks for the Welcome Thank you to those who replied to my post. You might be interested to know the yellow Foxbat is back in the air after 3 of us spent most of Tuesday replacing the windscreen. Not a difficult job but quite fiddly, lots of rivets to be carefully drilled out and just as carefully replaced. Cost around $500 for us, (we have a tame LAME/Level 2) don't know what a professional would charge. Incidentally, the old windscreen doesn't appear to be of the best quality plastic - 18 months old and already showing UV (?) discolouration as well as the cracking.

Ultralights Posted June 27, 2007 Share Posted June 27, 2007 i was quite surprised the foxbat used a lot less grass to get airborne than the STOL hornet! very impressive! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
