No worries anytime no guarantees on room but there usually is and that goes for anyone happy to help if I can hate seeing planes in the weather if there is a better option

Had of known you were in swan hill Alf ya could of slapped her in my hangar for the night sounds like a great trip

Nup but plenty of room if I felt the urge

I own my own hangar and think the benefits outweigh the costs for me I used to have my plane in a shared hangar and it cost me bugger all but the thought of damaging someone else’s plane or even worse to me would be to get accused of damaging it and not having done so used to give me an uneasy feeling. I built my hangar for MY convenience and MY piece of mind. I like to shoot out to the airport after work on a nice evening and just go for a fly if I feel like it ( the joys of county living and a close airport ) where as before my plane would be behind others and it just felt to hard for what I wanted to do (20 min moving planes for 30 mins flying ) lazy maybe. I have plenty of room 15m x 15m hangar for a J160 Jab, can even do the run ups in there if I want and no other planes rent any space and I don’t want them on a full time basis either for the same reasons mentioned above. Plus I refuse to take out insurance for other people’s planes in my hangar for the same reason Poteroo states above its to bloody expensive for the return to me. It may not suit everyone to own there own hangar but for me it is worth the expense for convenience and piece of mind. Regards Stewy

Thanks for the replies Was looking at Moorabbin as it is close to Monash uni where I have to take son for a course he is giving a go Will send a pm wif I can work out how Stewy

Hi Just wondering if anyone has any recommendations for training out of Moorabbin I have a few days to kill and in Melbourne in a couple of weeks and would like to do the controlled airspace etc endorsement on my RPL if I can fit it in Regards Stewy

Yes there is a shuttle bus running I believe don't know the times though but I believe that it will be running all day I'll be hanging around the airport on an off so call and say g'day have just finished building new hangar on west side of taxi way so if doors open call in anyone welcome Regards Stewy

I bet Cliff was happy to see you put yourself forward for the trip . That little plane has caused him a few headaches over the last year or so. Glad to see you had a good trip with it I remember asking him about it and him telling of the tail wheel trouble Regards Stewy

Yep it was government funded it was to increase the pavement strength I believe but they stopped 200 meters short on 26 for some reason Spoons is a nice spot for a coffee and feed Stewy

Not far from here then New runway is fine waste of money though if you ask me Give us a call if down this way Regards Stewy

Hi Totenhofer What part of the Mallee you in I fly out of swan hill can't be far away Regards Steph

Novus polish works well can use with a electric buff if you want make sure it variable speed though and start slow If it is polycarbonate like head lights are made of you can use wet and dry starting at 600 and work your way to 2000 and then use fine polish to finish Stewy

Hi All Just wondering if anyone knows where to buy and Vogels Ipad Mini mount from. I have one for my full size Ipad but stuffed if I can remember where I purchased it from and don't seem to be able to track one down from my old mate Google. Thanks Stewy

No worries Kaz might be around the airport will call over and say g'day if I come across you I will be in a J160. Hope you have a great day I have commitments with the kids after lunch otherwise I would be there myself Stewy

What time you planing to arrive might be able to give you a lift to town if required. Will depend on time and kids but it might work Regards Stewy
