So who went to Natfly & NatFly Reports?

[Modest Pilot]

Titan T51

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you,

 

To all who have posted photos, especially Mr H. My better half has decided to go next year although his work means he will be coming off night shift the day before we have to leave. He liked the tradition of Narromine and prefers the bottom end of RAAus and thought both were lost in Temora (so decided to boycott). Now he has seen the photos and read the reports, he is keen to go. A win! We are now thinking of bringing a couple of our planes to shore up the rag & tube brigade. We will also be at the Northern fly-in Queens Birthday weekend wherever it is held (Gayndah or Monto last I heard on the forum).

"The bottom end of RAA"

 

Yes there was not much there that fits into that there at NatFly. But then again there is not much bottom end left in RAA that can be displayed that is not a kit or scratch built.

 

A display of a pile of bits would only get the heart pumping for a very small percentage. SAAA was there for them who want to build.

 

By bottom end I assume it could be performance and/or cost. Jab 120 there. Wallaby there.

 

What else available? Drifter...Certified (is it still made?) or Fisher?

 

Could the lack of a bottom end mean that the vast majority of people who are interested (and prepared to spend money) are not interested in the bottom end?

 

A lot of people liked the Ford Model A, but times change and the market moves on. It is stupid to try to promote/sell an item if the return is not there. That is commercial reality.

 

Yes, I like the upper end of the market, but my Drifter should be flying at the end of the month (19-7437) with a bit of luck. Thus I do not think I can be accused of being one eyed on the subject.
