    Thank you again for the information Tony. My concern was bought about if using a sealed strip rather then grass and how the tires would handle that, hitting the deck at around 40-50 knots as these mower/ATV tires are not speed rated. Cheers Alan

    Hi Tony, What ply/speed rating and weight [of the tires] would comply with the factory spec's so as to maintain its legal trainer rego.[TST] Thank you Alan

    Just thought I mention the great experience of thermal lift yesterday at the Oaks during training.Flying circuit ht 1900ft we were getting 300ft + lift with no no power and we glided and soared for about 5min maintaining 1900ft.The fun part was turning for base andthe VIS stayed on 0 with no power,then having to side slip all the way to the threshold.I put this thread in here as the A/C was a Lightwing 582 Cheers :)

    The shot to shot times of the canon S3 nearly match those of the 350d in the reviews.Will have to see how it actually performs in the real world Cheers Alan

    Thanks Paul.With all the pics of guess the air field,I thought I would ask the question.I now have decided on the Canon S3 as it also has video record and the 12x zoom + IS.The S3+ 2GB card for around $700.00 compares well to a similar setup, Canon 350d DSLR + 70-200 f2.8 zoom lens would cost $2000.00. Cheers

    For point and shoot, what sort of aerial photography camera would be suitable? At the moment I'm looking at the Canon S3 Any recommendations from the Pros out there Cheers

    Hi Tony Do you know anyone around Wollongong [illawarra regional airport at Albion Park ] who could also do a conversion to the Thruster Cheers Alan

    Thanks Tony. Has anyone made them the full length /width so that the control/stab surfaces are foil shaped and all you do is add the outer skin [fabric] . Something like a cessna 150 ? Cheers Alan
  21. Thruster87
    The tail unit formers mod for the vertical stab. and rudder should be what thickness/length and approx shape [two halves fastened together?] Cheers Alan
  22. Thruster87
    Hi Tony Is the info. on the following link usefull. Cheers Alan http://www.caa.co.uk/default.aspx?categoryid=393&pagetype=90&pageid=4822

    Just. The part about the double spring, are there any drawings or spec's for this setup and does anyone sell them or is it a custom job.As I'm rebuilding my TST I'm keen to do all the mods or updates as possible [which my funds allow] Cheers Alan
  24. Thruster87
    The few thrusters that I've seen all had different tailwheel setups. They ranged from shopping cart trolley wheels to pneumatic chrome moly tubing home made jobs. Tony what is an acceptable standard or updated/modified version of the type/weight tailwheel assembly which in your opinnion may be used. Cheers Alan
  25. Thruster87
    I appreciate the work you do for TOSG Tony so Thank You.Cheers Alan
