    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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

    Think he's going back down the ladder and gonna do it in the morning, because they are a couple of bums short on the seats to make the flight profitable enough.
  22. planedriver
    Be patient guys, someone gave him a tin of Eclipse mints, you know, those blue one's. He's probably a bit confused, and thinks they are something a lot more more exciting!
  23. planedriver
    Yea, but it's something to think about on a hot sleepless night!
  24. planedriver
    Can I park my car in the shade of your tree's Spacesaver please. I could do with a newie?
