Wally was my answer as well.That's where I was shown the Thruster way.It would be a shame to see Wally disappear from Naranderra,he really is a fountain of knowledge.

Did you finally get an instructor Fly? If so, let us know how you went - or are going.

G'day Fly, Peter Stanton flies out of Boonah he is a great instructor on thrusters.

 

Would have to be in your own thruster though as they don't have one available.

Thruster instructors and training aircraft are certainly hard to come by now. I was talking with some guys who called in to the hangar at Northam last Saturday. They were asking questions about training on the Thruster and I couldn't think of a training Thruster in operation right now - pity really, but a sign of the times.

Thruster training. Pretty hard to find, I would think. Technically you don't need a seperate endorsement for aircraft on the RAAus register. You only need to be tailwheel / nosewheel and low speed endorsed and some or all, of this could be in a GA plane. PRACTICALLY, with the thruster, don't let this stop you buying one. Make sure that it is set up well and flys like it should. ( Get someone who knows them well to fly it). Read ALL the TOSG handling talk and absorb it. and fly something like a Savage Cub till you are "good" at it and go for the thruster. They were no two seaters till about 1986-7 anyhow, which was the first time I flew one. Tailwheelers are becoming a lower percentage of the total all the time. Don't let that put you off, if you are thinking of going that way. Nev

A bit further North but easy access by commercial flight is Palmyra just outside Mackay.

 

Matt's Flying School has just recently opened and so far been using a Texan and has a Savanah arriving at the end of the month... BUT... Matthew owns a Thruster and has another in his hanger which I recently did a few hours in with him... They are certainly a nice aircraft and Matthew loves his Thruster. Give him a call and I am sure he would be able to help.

Thank goodness because what we don't need is another wanna be GA school flying under the Ra-Aus banner... lol
