seb7701 Posted January 11, 2015 Posted January 11, 2015 Hi all. I'm still looking at Lightwings and wondering if anyone knows of any that might be available for purchase, but not yet advertised. And, yep, I know Ebay has a couple!
Patrick Normoyle Posted January 11, 2015 Posted January 11, 2015 Seb, I know Tim was considering selling his, he is Flyerme on the forum, if I had the money I would buy it, good luck with the search.
seb7701 Posted January 11, 2015 Author Posted January 11, 2015 Thanks Pat. I think a GR582 would be perfect. Love to see some more 'on water' shots of your too by the way!
flyerme Posted January 11, 2015 Posted January 11, 2015 Yes I have been considering selling the lightwing.. Unfortunately It's looking like my wife and pa both have put the brakes on my decision Because of it safety history( plus they love it's rugged good looks). I also know Doug Evens with 001 was also considering selling his? If and when I do sell it , it will be an honest ad, it has a MTOW of only 400 kgs and weighs EMPTY 230.kgs.- The gr582 I believe have a higher MTOW than the early LW1's. They are IMO one of ( if not) the best all purpose rag,n,tube aircraft ever built. And I love my 2 bangers . Good luck
seb7701 Posted January 11, 2015 Author Posted January 11, 2015 Thanks Tim - yep, hoping to uncover a GR582 somewhere! 1
ave8rr Posted January 11, 2015 Posted January 11, 2015 Did Bob Burns at Helidon near Toowoomba sell his GR582? Was/has been advertised for some time. Mike

seb7701 Posted January 11, 2015 Author Posted January 11, 2015 Hi Mike -Yes he did. I saw it, flew in it and foolishly left it go, now sold.....Grrrrr. Thanks Col - is that the well travelled and multiply-rebuilt one? (Properly done mind you, not a criticism...)

I'm not sure how well travelled or if and how many rebuilds. For more details checkout http://srfc.org.au/blog/?p=2817 Keep well
Doug Evans Posted January 11, 2015 Posted January 11, 2015 No my not for sale Tim only if I get really broke but not yet 1
seb7701 Posted January 11, 2015 Author Posted January 11, 2015 Yep, you'd be mad to Doug.... Thanks Col - was looking for some details. It's had some ups and downs, but also some good aftercare I would say!
Guest Maj Millard Posted January 11, 2015 Posted January 11, 2015 Gee that -158 doesn't look like a bad machine Sebb..........
seb7701 Posted January 11, 2015 Author Posted January 11, 2015 Yep, it does Ross. Gents - I have my wires crossed re the other one I mentioned - SRFC's is not the one I thought it was! 1
