Just Landed

[Dave Walker]

Hi All, Just landed. This forum stuff is all new to me.Here we go, I trained on Thrusters back in 1992 and have been flying them ever since. I have owned a T300 since 1996 and still have it . I purshased a J6 Karatoo with a EA81 Sub up front in 2007. Had an out landing in mates paddock and had minor damage to undercarriage. At the same time the Thruster was stripped down for a major airframe refurb. So, two aircraft in the workshop and no time to fix them due to a little building project I have going. Such is life!! The little building project is almost finished after 3 years, and so, hopefully back to fixing and flying planes. In the meantime, I have been flying a delightful little aeroplane from Bunbury Flying School, a Sports Cruiser. If there is anyone out there who owns a K2 or a Thruster, it might be interesting to exchange notes.

 

Cheers Dave

Hi Dave and welcome to the forums. I believe a fellow forum member Brett, learnt on a Sportscruiser over there in that beautiful part of this country.

Hi Dave,

 

Welcome! I know what you mean - owning more planes means less flying - certainly does for us as we have one in the trailer waiting on a refurbishment, one on the plans and one finished a couple of years ago that still gets tinkered with more than flown.

 

Thrusters are great little machines - I never flew one, but was a passenger out at Longreach and Barcaldine when I was with the various aero clubs out there. My first time with the head in the wind I nearly lost the headset, you really get the feeling of going somewhere as compared to my closed cockpit on the C152. We did flour bombing, spot landings, toilet paper cutting - heaps of fun we don't do any more. Where did it all go?

 

You'll enjoy it here - they are a great bunch.

Hi Dave, welcome to our forums.

 

I was new to it when I joined too, but it's easy. Habit forming even.

 

Enjoy the flying when you get the building over with!

 

Regards, Decca.
