  1. Timbgy, I have flown both, I have taken the 582 on a demo - but I own a 503 (so I am a little bit biased). I decided that it wasn't worth me upgrading because of my particular situation - custom built covered trailer suiting the square framed 503. The Hummer has heaps of power, and you get great lift from the larger prop that comes standard. I opted for a new trimmed chute (slower, but greater lift) and the longer, rubber edged, Bolly prop (more thrust = greater lift) - and I am as happy as a pig in p00! Peter
  2. They also have mirrors ... drop them and you risk breaking a mirror ... giving you some bad luck in the process. Peter
  3. I picked my 'chute colours so they could be seen against any backdrop - but I'm not sure if a plane painted the same way would look so good! Peter
  4. I agree with Tomo - you're ALL wrong! Peter
  5. Hey Flyerme, would love to take a (road) trip over to you and check out your new strip with the 'chute one day. Be good to check out the Supercat and Thruster as well Peter
  6. Cheers Tomo! Peter

  12. Well done Flyerme! Congratulations! All safely done too - most importantly. Peter
  13. I tried introducing mine to a tree once ... but they don't play nice!
  14. Congratulations Phil - please take lots of piccies and post them here for us to drool over and give you all the encouragement and back-patting you need!!! Peter
  15. Hi and Brendan - let us know all about the Brumby when it arrives! (Don't forget the pics either!) Peter
  16. I'm also a long term (21+ years) SES Road Accident / Search and Rescue volunteer ... Run a couple of businesses from home in the spare time - Setting up, Installing and training on computer systems, for the Small Office / Home Office user; a handmade-lacemaking supplies business; Instructional design and training delivery in just about anything; also a business consultant - currently full-time project manager for a media-distribution-over-the-internet project. Hoping to convince the CEO / CFO (wife) that I'm primed and ready for retirement while we can still enjoy it! Would like to travel around the country with Caravan & Aerochute in tow to see as much of this place from both the ground and air, and have fun doing it! Peter
  17. It lost me after "Winds exist " ...
  18. Check out http://www.recreationalflying.com/threads/thatchercx4.6611/
  19. I've never known an aircraft that likes trees!
  20. The Aerochute is fun to fly! (*Warning* I may be a little biased here...) Yep, they are slow - not really for XC, but highly manouverable - VERY STOL, extremely safe, great for observing/photography, herding stock, checking fences etc (and really, really low flying) !! Peter
  21. mAgNeToDrOp - It was "A splendid little CX4" Cheers, Peter
  22. Thanks Tomo, I enjoyed it very much.
  23. You hit it on head 80K, mines the same - the ISP connects through to the public internet in another state ... and so I show up as being in Sydney!
  24. Hi, Flytrikes and Peter
