Long time builder

[beeza]

Hi all from Tassie. I've been a member of this site for some time, but this is the first time I've posted anything.

 

I am currently building a Karatoo. This has been a long time project (unfortunately) but at least I can see the end in sight.

G'day Beeza! What end of the state are you from?

Gday Beeza.

 

I like the Karatoo although I have never flown one. There is one at Callide Dawson Flying Group. Looks like a real plane.

G'day Beeza, welcome to the forum. There used to be a Karatoo hangared at Cobden for a number of years - had a Subaru engine with a belt redrive for propulsion. I was lucky enough to fly in it on a couple of occasions and have a play with controls. From memory was easy to fly but seemed heavy on the controls ie (heavy stick load). A sound design with a roomy cabin. Good luck with your build. What are you going to power it with?.

,Thank you for your first post, now you've broken the ice, we look forward to hearing more from you, and a few details about your build.

 

I notice that your original post was a few years ago, so how is it progressing?

In answer to Marty_d I'm from the north of the state. As to the Karatoo, I'm running a 100hp 912. Hopefully I'll be able to cover the fuselage in the not too distant future. The wings and tail feathers have been done and just about ready for a coat of paint.
