That's the one, I was at Angelfield a month or two back. The builder who I bought her from has recently completed a Carbon Cub. He sure did a good job. I hope to get to the next Murgon fly-in, come over and say hi!
AussieB1rd Posted June 2, 2016 Posted June 2, 2016 I hope to get to the next Murgon fly-in. I thought so, what do you mean come and say Hi, I did, but as you had just got in I think I said go have some breakfast, chat later but after a short intro and story you did.
Yenn Posted June 2, 2016 Posted June 2, 2016 The 150 Cessna with big wheels has a 180hp engine. Belongs to Kiwi, pres of Old Station Flying club. What a performer.
Hargraves Posted June 2, 2016 Posted June 2, 2016 Now thats a 150 as they should have been all along. very nice sir

AussieB1rd Posted June 2, 2016 Posted June 2, 2016 We are going to need a secret handshake to be used by all forum members! Secret handshakes, hmmmmm will leave that to you and other forum members, no way I'm gunna be accused of having done things with sheep or goats, lol
NT5224 Posted June 13, 2016 Posted June 13, 2016 Oh, so here's where the real flyers post? :) Some of you folks from the Northern Rivers may recognise the wonderful machine I acquired from your district a few months back: Its kinda distinctive! But I've since flown it up to its new home on the real 'Northern Rivers' -up in the Top End. Although I hadn't tail-dragged since the very start of my flight training (some years ago), I found it incredibly forgiving to fly and land. Its not 'twitchy' -like some of the newer high performance aircraft. I'd make a great solid aircraft to learn to fly on -if only it was a 24 reg! Gonna rack up a hundred hours or so in it, get to understand how it flies and then consider whether I want to change the prop and possibly beef up the undercarriage for flying off my own bush strip. The Top End is your playground with one of these! Cheers Alan 1

My baby at Maryborough. The builder of my Rans Courier has now finished his latest creation, a fantastic Carbon Cub. Here's a pic. 3 1
