    Welcome Peter, You're just a young gun, go for it while you can.

    Need to get my son to order more aviators to replace the ones he flogged while borrowing my car. Last delivery was super-quick. More should use the service. It's great!

    ''The three best things in life are: A good landing, a good orgasm, and, a good bowel movement. A night landing on an aircraft carrier is one of the few very opportunities in life where you get to experience all three at the same time, and your partner doesn't have to have yet another headache, unless you choose to tell her!'.

    I personally find this the most addictive thread on these forums and get quite excited watching how it's all coming together piece by piece. There's so much innovation, apart from modern day technologies assisting this build, it's great to follow. Many would also be a bit envious of the building space available, that appears in many of the photo's. Although i'm not building, I still learn a lot. Can't wait to see what comes next. Great job mate!

    Congratulations Liam! Hope you will also be an inspiration to many more. Just goes to show what can be achieved with hard work.

    Not a good day for the poor fellah, hope and pray that his injuries are not too serious and he makes a speedy recovery. Had a little look on line, but was wondering what motors they put in those aircraft. They obviously have a good short-field performance and very low stall speed providing the fan keeps turning.

    Next time wear a sandwich board stating- "PLEASE STAND WELL CLEAR. OFFICIAL REC FLYING PHOTOGRAPHER IN ACTION" Inconsiderate sods! Look forward to seeing the edited photo's Thank you. Planey

    My Misses organized a TIF for me, but a few months later she wanted a divorce. That's when I started drinking. I still drink most nights, but I'm not sure whether it's in gratitude for the TIF, or the total relief from always being wrong. We get on quite well these days, so i'm sure it's got to be the former.

    Just so long as he doesn't have to use it at ground level to jump the que to get a sanger sandwich.

    Keep your chin up mate. Get well soon! Rgds Planey

    We should all have dreams and aims in life to work towards, and strive to overcome any problems along the way. Good luck young fellah, hope you mange to fulfill your ambitions.

    That looks pretty good to me mate, even if you'd prefer something different! Good braking system and black-box easy to find if things don't go as planned. I am well aware of the drawbacks caused by a few extra Birthdays, but at least you'll be there, and I won't. Have great day which I'm sure you will, and don't forget to post a few piccies.

    Welcome Simon. As Nightmare has already said, if you are not sure of your intentions, just book yourself a trial instruction flight. It normally only goes for about half an hour or so and won't break the bank, and will either tell you that it's not for you, or most likely why the hell didn't I do this before. Then once decided, you can plan ahead at your own pace. A Birthday gift of a T.I.F. is a great idea, tell the family.

    Welcome duane. Sounds like you have a lot of building experience now. Is it that you like building, or does the misses encourage you to build another one so you don't get under her feet? When you get a chance, post a few photos of your handywork, we love to see them. Rgds Planey

    A lot of clever guys at Wedderburn, looks like some design hats too!

    They probably just get it sole'd and eel'd

    Be hard not to have Marty. The speed and accuracy of fabrication is amazing.

    We learn something every day Mick. If you were Irish, the rag would need a knot in each corner. PS Not seen any of your wonderful r/c models lately.
  20. planedriver
    Looks Brilliant! I think our mate Marty from Tassie needs a holiday over your way, but that may spoil his fun. I admire what he's achieving as well.

    Rumor has it that Pilot Shop which always has our interests at heart, may be considering stocking protective- headware for the benefit of those who fly low wing aircraft in Aussie summer conditions, to keep that burning sun at bay. If popular, a wide range could be available The "Sportstar Special". (also available in pink) or, For The Bonanza set, there's "The Gatsby" to look real cool! 50+ block-out also to be available for the less fashion conscious?

    , good to hear from you, tell us more. If you own an Auster, we'd love to hear more about it, and it's owner.
  23. planedriver
    WOW! that looks intriguing, but we all know that you enjoy keeping us in suspense, or wondering whether you'll ever be fitting coil-overs to keep it flat in a ground-loop situation.
  24. planedriver
    Good on you Bex, that's really starting to look good mate. Do you have any projections of what the finished product will possibly look like? Rgds Planey
