jacmiles Posted August 23, 2008 Posted August 23, 2008 Have been reading about the 120 so i had to try one. As a student pilot flying a 160,getting in a 120 was WOW!!! These are great planes,i am buying one. Rod Stiff sent one over to Chinchilla with neil from Bundy. Much thanks to them for doing so. There not built for tall people and are a little squeezy but for the money you wouldnt find better.:thumb_up:

jacmiles Posted September 13, 2008 Author Posted September 13, 2008 Hi, what do you reckon would be the tallest person that would fit into one of these? Im 5' 10" around abouts and 93 kg, I think past 6' and you'll have trouble on longer trips. will know a lot more when we pick up a new one on around 12th oct'.

Guest thrasher Posted October 10, 2008 Posted October 10, 2008 Hey Get your self into a J120 for a ride...they are great... Steve
skydog Posted October 11, 2008 Posted October 11, 2008 Hey thrasher what is that bird on your profile?
skydog Posted October 11, 2008 Posted October 11, 2008 why not diff toe brakes The JABS ARE GREAT BUT WHY ON EARTH NOT INTRODUCE DIFF TOE BRAKES RATHER THAN A HAND BRAKE THAT CAN CAUSE PROBLEMS CROSSING ARMS, LEGS, CONTROLS ON ROLLING OUT?
Guest thrasher Posted October 11, 2008 Posted October 11, 2008 Hey Skydog....A friend sent it to me...Told me it is a Thrasher Bird... As far as Toe Brakes go...I find the system used works well.... At the end of the day I wanted a Plane that does 100knts has over 3 hr duration that burns 15ltr per hr & does it comfortably & safely... the JABIRU J120 met all that I wanted & is well priced...
skydog Posted October 11, 2008 Posted October 11, 2008 Well you are certainly going to meet your requirements with a Jab. I just posted in "news" a kit from the US called a Thatcher named after David Thatcher who designed it. Nice plane . A thatcher is a type of bird too isnt it Thrasher or is that a hatcher? God knows?
