Hi everyone, desperately looking for a LAME to do a 100hourly on my aircraft, It's based at Riddles creek rotax powered Raaus registered any suggestions most welcomed, thank you

Dave's Camair is at Riddells Creek.

No experience with their work as we're based at Lilydale, but have only heard good things.

yeah thanks RossK, he won't touch Raaus aircraft unfortunately.

Rod Shearer at Bendigo has a lot of followers from around Kyneton.

Well, that 'could' be two-thirds of his business in coming years based on the decline of GA.

....and Penfield, including me.

To be accurate he is based at Huntly Field, a few miles to the east of Bendigo airport.

There is a very comprehensive list of L2 Maintainers on the RA-Aus website. You’re looking for an L2 (or L4) not a LAME. 

[RossK]

Is there still 2 Flight schools at Riddells using RAA aircraft?

You could ask who they use.

[Flightrite]

Dave wont do annuals etc normally, there’s no money in it! He’s a savvy businessman, he knows where the $$& lie and it ain’t in toy planes!😂

[Keith W]

Well there’s the problem, RAA aircraft might be smaller but are not toy planes, where would aviation in Australia  be today if we didn’t have the RAA.

[spacesailor]

Australian aviation, would be the same as U K aviation.

I think Scott Sutcliffe at Full Throttle Aero Pty Ltd is great.  Professional, reasonable.  He was at Moorabbin now at Lilydale Airport.  He does plenty of RAAus including Lilydale Flying School.  If you want his mobile number message me.

The reports of my death are greatly exaggerated said GA. A few fun facts. RAAus registered aircraft numbers have been in a slight decline over the last three years, currently at 3290. None of these require LAME maintenance. VH register continues to grow, ok some of these are RPT aircraft the rest from Kingairs to cessna 150s and helicopters are all GA. Prices of nearly all GA piston aircraft are crazy high at the moment,  people want them. They all require an annual inspection. At my local airport the GA flight school, the GA ag operator and the GA maintenance were I work are all going great. I love a good fact.
