kaz3g Posted October 2, 2015 Posted October 2, 2015 Two planes from Kyneton to Shep today for an excellent and reasonably priced lunch. Sorry I missed you, Macca, but glad you enjoyed the meal. I went up to Cowra for the weekend to attend the AAAA Spring flyin. Poor turn up there because the Sydney basin was flagged in. Kaz

K-man Posted October 4, 2015 Posted October 4, 2015 Life's tough! We had to fly to Mt Beauty for lunch today. Not a cloud to be seen, smooth air, tail wind and beautiful mountain scenery. I'll post some photos when I recover from the trauma.
Kaywoman68 Posted October 5, 2015 Posted October 5, 2015 Got to go flying again on Saturday Destination this time was Tumut - had a little 'picnic' (packed some bread, dip, antipasto goodies). Gorgeous day to have been out and about 5
SDQDI Posted October 5, 2015 Posted October 5, 2015 There are some awesome pictures with some beautiful scenery in this thread! Keep them coming everyone. 2
Kununurra Posted October 6, 2015 Posted October 6, 2015 Albany to Mukinbudin - Meekatharra - Newman stopped overnight at Newman, Capricorn roadhouse accommodation great, food and service great good coffee in the morning from the roadhouse. However Getting there from the airport would have been impossible without the help of a fantastic LAME. Telephone a taxi to get a ride and taxi said no not coming it is not a good enough fare for me. LAME (Barry)who owns and runs maintenance of helicopters in Newman not only gave me a lift to the roadhouse but come and picked me up in the morning to take me back to the airport at 0600. The next leg was Newman to Broome -Wyndham a little on the bumpy side but it is the dry season with plenty of warm land to fly over and the odd thermal or 2. 2 great days of flying and covered a lot of the west of Australia from south to north. 4

Beautiful part of the country. We had a problem with our CSU at Broome. I sort the help of a LAME who, on finding out we had a Rotax, referred me to the local lawn mower shop. Most unprofessional aviation person I have ever come across. 2

SDQDI Posted October 8, 2015 Posted October 8, 2015 This morning fellow forumite Old Koreela and myself went for a short flight in the hornet to check 2 local farm strips for suitability for our club members to fly to this Saturday for morning tea. It was a nice flight, the first strip was grass on a slight rise which turned out to be nice and smooth and the second was on a nice flat plain, it was mown lucerne which was a little bumpier but Old K was still happy enough with it:thumb up:. We had a good tailwind back to home which finished off a bit over an hour of flying.
SDQDI Posted October 10, 2015 Posted October 10, 2015 Our monthly breaky was this morning, followed by a trip to a few different local strips. (I had to get back to the tractor so had to fly home straight after breaky:sad:) but we had 13 planes of which 7 were tailwheels! One immaculate tiger moth, A couple of gyros and even a trike. Another beautiful clear calm day just perfect for flying:thumb up: (Actually it's a perfect day for spraying and tractor driving too but who really cares about that:whistling:!) 6
Fishla Posted October 10, 2015 Posted October 10, 2015 My last flight was this morning - FIRST SOLO! Doesn't get much better for a Saturday morning. 5 8
Geoff13 Posted October 10, 2015 Posted October 10, 2015 I went for a short flight today. Just a quickie to get a photo for the WUFI. https://www.facebook.com/groups/1663741873840700/?fref=ts Got a couple of photos then home. Wasn't really a great day for flying but it was still better than working.

If the photo's on your computer, you can upload it via the button over there 1
Geoff13 Posted October 10, 2015 Posted October 10, 2015 It is a link to World Ultralight Flyin which is a facebook group attempt a trying to get as many ultralights in the air as possible on a given day. Today was the day. The link is to the photo page which hopefully will end up with hundreds of photos. https://www.facebook.com/groups/517065451785039/522397944585123/?notif_t=like
Robbo Posted October 10, 2015 Posted October 10, 2015 My last flight was this morning - FIRST SOLO! Doesn't get much better for a Saturday morning. Congratulations mate.

I find it to difficult. 1

pylon500 Posted October 11, 2015 Posted October 11, 2015 It is a link to World Ultralight Flyin.Today was the day. I had thought of getting involved with that, but figured it would probably jinx a day of flying, plus I'm not on facebook... Having said that, had two flights today; first cross country with an early solo student, and a refresher flight with a guy that hasn't been able to fly for about six months. 1.7 hours total in a Foxbat.
djpacro Posted October 11, 2015 Posted October 11, 2015 I suppose you wear thongs because tying laces is too difficult, too. Only when the laces are too long for my shoes.
dazza 38 Posted October 11, 2015 Posted October 11, 2015 I suppose you wear thongs because tying laces is too difficult, too. Nah I just don't know enough about the ins and outs of resizing photos ect. I tried a couple of times and it didn't work so I gave up.
red750 Posted October 11, 2015 Posted October 11, 2015 Nah I just don't know enough about the ins and outs of resizing photos ect. I tried a couple of times and it didn't work so I gave up. Do you use Windows, Mac or iPad?
