G'day from the sunny? Mid- North Coast

[smallbob]

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.

 

Regards,

 

Bob

Hello Bob and welcome .... I wasn't at the flyin unfortunately so I can't lay claim to seeing you waving to everyone . However you probably got the gist that we are a happy bunch who really enjoy our flying and also our social gatherings . I hope to see your postings on the site . Heres to happy times ahead .

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.

 

Regards,

 

Bob

i was quite surprised the foxbat used a lot less grass to get airborne than the STOL hornet! very impressive!

A job well done Bob I was the bloke in the caravan, as my wife refuses to sit on the wing of my Vampire we came by car/van.
