Tasmag Posted September 28, 2015 Posted September 28, 2015 Hi there Just joined from Tasmania. Currently training and hope to start a J430 build one day.
Neil_S Posted September 28, 2015 Posted September 28, 2015 Hi thereJust joined from Tasmania. Currently training and hope to start a J430 build one day. Hi Tasmag - What plane are you learning in? Good luck with your build. Cheers, Neil
Marty_d Posted September 28, 2015 Posted September 28, 2015 Hi Tasmag and Fishla - which corner of the state are you in? I'm in Allens Rivulet - not flying yet, just building.
Fishla Posted September 28, 2015 Posted September 28, 2015 On the eastern shore of Hobart but flying from Tunbridge.
Marty_d Posted September 28, 2015 Posted September 28, 2015 At the old bomber strip, or the glider airfield? I used to hanglide from the hill past the glider airstrip and we did our car-tow launches from the bomber strip. (This was almost 20 years ago.)
Fishla Posted September 28, 2015 Posted September 28, 2015 The old bomber strip. There's a great school there now - Midlands Flying School. 1
nomadpete Posted September 29, 2015 Posted September 29, 2015 Welcome. We need more ground defying people down here. Good to hear that I'm not all alone - I'm not far away from Aliens Rivulet - on the other side of Huon River. And quite disappointed by the lack of airstrips (or even any landable ground). Methinks floats might be an asset around here. Peter
Marty_d Posted September 29, 2015 Posted September 29, 2015 Your location still shows Toowoomba Peter - I remember talking to you a while ago about you moving down this way. Where's your plane parked now?
nomadpete Posted September 29, 2015 Posted September 29, 2015 Still in process of wing covering here in Twba. But things are achangin and I will be finishing soon & moving down about xmas time. Maybe catch up with you then? Would like to see your project
Marty_d Posted September 29, 2015 Posted September 29, 2015 For sure, I'll PM you my details. If you did convert to floats the Huon River has some nice straight stretches... near Franklin for example, you could step off and walk to the pub! I still haven't talked properly to the guys at Sandfly airstrip (not much point yet, I don't have a fuselage). As far as I know there's no other strips in the local area. Pity, there's some flat land in the Huon valley, just seems to be full of fences.
Marty_d Posted September 29, 2015 Posted September 29, 2015 Just PM'd you my phone number Pete - looks like we had the same conversation about 18 months ago!
nomadpete Posted September 29, 2015 Posted September 29, 2015 Fishla and Tasmag, what are you flying? Tassie is a picturesque place - I guess Midlands is more flying friendly than all the tiger country. When I move to Tas I'll be visiting the gliding club to get my fix. Peter
