Yeh Phil. I to am getting mighty sick of Thieves. I'm getting posts almost daily from someone I know ( incl my bro). Having items( cars) stolen. Houses broken onto. Ect. Just last year middle of day whilst home had a fella wonder threw my hangars .. Took tools and full jerrycan. Herd him as he was leaving. Ran out there and stopped him and he says he was just here to see if I wanted to sell an old bomb car I have out the back? I said no and he drove off.. Went out back. And the bomb car had all doors open and bonnet and some items missing, went out to hangar and found tool box gone , loose tools gone and the full jerry can I only sat there a couple hours earlier gone... Went for fly later looking for the old eb white falcon sedan red pin stripe but to no avail...... Didn't here him as that day aircon was blowing blocking out outside noise. But saying that we have a massive sign stating " Ring Bell". And wasn't rung! Installed camera ;).

And And well Deserved mate. Was a great day. Glad I ventured over ...

Local paper says heart failure. Went unconscious then woke up enough to land on our Hwy. mallee hwy. waiting for details

Both myself in my lightwing and a friend in his diamond left dents in our roofs from an un exspected severe down draught over the rangers. Reckon the hand of god smacked us down with all his might.lol Thankfully the wings stayed on. Have fun riding themz bumps

Does a bear s$&t in woods ? Of coarse , I was snapping like croc chasing a chicken ... Lol. I won best RAG'N'TUBE with my mighty Lighty... Was an awesome day.

I have no battery in my nieuport ! And I am a display pilot flying my ww-1 replica x-country to get there.. It cost me $400 to buy a battery powered hand held including external arial and extension cable plus the push to talk. It works a treat and battery last over 8 hrs :). I can then use it in my other 3 95-10 which have no radio. 1 radio does 3 planes. Love it . Didn't break the kitty either ;)

Bring a share plate of food for lunch ;). Soft drink, tea and coffee can be purchased at the club house. I will see you there :)

You wait until my movie is finished and you see what I did with the Chinook ;)

Awesome, just finished rebuilding a chinook wt-11 replica And now started a Winton Jackaroo build. Love the weedhoper .:). Have an invader too will build that last Good luck and have fun

Hey Riley, yes I was trying to get hold of a scout. ( my fav U/L) and was offered parts to build 1 out of but fell threw :(

It is upon us now Nev!!!!! I gave up on looking here and over seas for a 277 rotax. But have found the Aerochute engines are perfect for my invader project.

Firstly the 582 including it's water cooling system is actually lighter by 200 grams than a 503... The 503 fan, dual carb dual ignition is the heaviest Rotax 2 stroke . I bought a brand new a Rotax 582 from bert a floods last year at a cost of $8000 for my lightwing. And I then had them rebuild the 503 for my nieuport at a cost of $ 6500. It wasn't until after I had the 503 rebuilt that Gary at bert flood told me the 582 fully loaded was lighter than the 503. How ever I wouldn't want any ugly radiators hanging out the nieuport so still happy with rebuilding the 503. I did my certificate In A 582 thruster T500 and have flown a t300 With 503. I agree the climb was better with 582. But cruise was pretty much the same and the 582 used more fuel. ! As far as 582 cooling problems that was actually the 532. NOT the 582! 582 is a great engine but IMO. 503 hands down is the best 2 st. Out there. Hope that helps. And don't forget if it's 25 rego... You need an E/O. To change from 503 to 582...

Well it's well underway with 14mins and 30 secs of the movie completed... "the Diary of Jack Flyer " based on my book I now have 6 RAG'N'TUBE ultralights for movie ( that's what I tell the wife);) ( only 1 is not mine -maxair drifter). I own : Lightwing LW-1 no4. 1987 Fully rebuilt nieuport 11.C.1. 1916 Replica fully rebuilt chinook Replica circa 1983 fully rebuilt WintonJackaroo 1982. In middle of rebuild invader MK 2. 1982. Yet to start rebuild A review of the 14 mins by an old school ultralighter proved very exciting with the reviewer inspired to drag out his old thruster :). Mission accomplished I know I won't make $$$$ but I don't care... I want to do it to pass on my passion, inspiration, to show you can achieve the impossible dream.. There is truly no words to describe flying minimum aircraft .Romantic? Majestic? Death defying? Unforgiving? It excites your every senses and no more than when your lined up and about to take flight in a single seat aircraft you've never flown . The unknown and the what ifs plague you as you open the throttle. Seriously they fly unlike the lightwings and Jabies etc we now mostly fly. They are slow, dragy,more manoeuvrable( back yard flyers) and more fun than you can imagine. I'm not knocking the bigger HP planes , don't get me wrong. But for pure minimum flying fun nothing compares. Also I enjoy the low maintenance and cheap costs of the ol 2bangers. He he he Here's some pics. There's a before and after pic of the chinook replica I just rebuilt ( during and for film ) along with my other current aircraft . Stay tuned and stay safe

Well done mate congrats. Yeh Jimbo's my man to ;). A living legend Just did my BFR in his a Trusty Thrusty :)

S Close but more like "That magnificent man in his flying machines". Lol

Sweet with x-air :) PM a price I may be interested for my ultralight museum... My mate had a blue one, had a shark mouth on front lol. Looked cool...

OMG. Look at the 2 above posts from me! Very sad indeed. Please stay safe every one or you may not get to see the movie !!!!

Thanks again mate. RIP Maj...
