Hey, Thanks for the compliments.

 

I didn't realise this thread had continued.

 

Unfortunately I haven't touched the LR-2 for about four months now. :ah_oh:

 

I was just about to buy a big stock of resin when I though my property at Taree was all about to happen.

 

Then it just sort of ground to a halt.

 

I've been in constant battle with land vendors, hydraulic engineers, the NSW Fire Dept!!?, and of course the Council.

 

I've given up telling people when I'm going to move, I just have no idea! ;)

 

But I haven't lost the dream yet. ;)

Hi Guys,

 

The aircraft in the video appears to be the four seat Diamond aircraft ( DA40 Diamond Star ) This aircraft has since been produced as a twin dieseland I think there may be some on the Australian register, based in WA?Engine in the one in the video is a Lycoming AEIO-360-M1A. Don't know the price, would be afraid to ask!!

 

Arthur,

 

Those plans look good. Now if only I could convince the other half..............!!!!!!??????

Is that a crooked runway? 21 - 30.

 

I could see it was wrong but the numbers both added up and I had to actually add 18 to 21 before I could see ir should be 03.

Is that a crooked runway? 21 - 30.

Ah Yes, took a while for people to spot my 'deliberate' mistake.

Smokey gets the door prize.

 

Runway is really 12-30 actually.

 

Hope to host some BBQ fly-ins once established. ;)
