Does your aircraft fit your flying style?
farri replied to Methusala's topic in Aircraft General Discussion
Absolutely! I started flying Ultralights in the mid, late eighties, by scratch building my rag and tube and learning to fly it...For me, flying is not about going from point A to B, as fast as possible, nor is it about having the latest L.S.A., with all that goes with it, it`s about being able to go flying as I wish, with an AC that will do what I want it to do and at a cost that I can afford to do it with. I`ve flown numerous Ultralights, over the years, some faster and fancier, than others! I Instructed with my current Austflight W.B. Drifter, for 12 years! It has served me and many others, extremely well and I will keep it going and flying it for as long as I can. Frank. -

New mile stone first Area Solo today

Well done! How long did it take you to get the smile of your face? Nah!!! You`ve gotta fly an Austflight, WB Drifter! Lear jets fly themselves! Frank. -
G`Day Hughesy, !!! I started flying Ultralights way back in the early days of the AUF.... You and others, starting off, will be starting with far more privilages` than those of us who started back then! unfortunately! over the years, costs` associated with recreational flying have greatly increased and will only continue to increase, but that`s how it goes. Havn`t flown the Savanah but have flown the Zenith 701, many times! I suspect they would be very similar... Numerous Savanah owner/pilots` on here! Frank

G`Day u2flyboy, !!!...I`ve been flying Ultralights since the late mid eighties!......My wife, Frances, is of Irish descent... Frank.

When the bug bites I`ve just gotta go! so I stopped mowing and took my beautiful, cheeky Granddaughter, Alison, for a fly! Babinda, up ahead! Must be getting cold down south! The caravans are beginning to arrive at the Babibda Creek, camping area. Back home! Brooklyn (the oldest) and Isla! Our two Great Granddaughters....Future pilots????? Frank.

To me, around Australia should be,all the way around the perimeter of the country,otherwise! it`s not Circumnavigation. Circumnavigation From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. Circumnavigation means to travel all the way around the entire planet, or an island, or continent. Frank.

That`s great, well done! ....Is it a one of or will the factory produce them for sale, if so, what is the purchase price expected to be? Frank.

G`Day Kev, No! I`ve never seen that ...Make sure you inspect the pan below the bracket, very carefully? The possibility of corrosion is greater for all of us who fly within a salt air environment...Read an article a while back that claimed, salt from the ocean, that is in the air, can be carried 200 klm inland...Whether that`s correct or not, we need to keep a good look out for corrosion. Frank.

Yep!

G`Day Bob ! Fran and I would love to see you again but with a cruise speed of 55kts and head wind, we won`t be flying down your way anytime soon so you`ll have to Jaber it up to here. Frank.

Thank you Geoff, I sincerely appreciate it....Guys like you are the main reason I continue to post here....You are very welcome and It`ll be my pleasure to take your photo and it won`t cost you anything to go for a fly with me!.....Oh! maybe a ride around the block on your bike! Frank

Just goes to show what you can do when you try hard enough...... Frank.

The guy in front of the X-Air is this lovely lady`s husband.They are friends of my wife Frances and myself.Both achieved their AUF pilot certificate,way back when I was instructing,unfortunately,due to a health issue,the lady no longer flies as PIC...The X-Air is their`s...I get to fly it, whenever I want. This mornings flight. Frank.
-
That`s great Bob!......Yes! All good times for me and those I take up! what it`s all about, for me.....Hopefully! I can keep it up for a while, yet. Can`t give away all my secrets............. Frank.

G`Day BP, yeah! I find it hilarious (figure of speech) that some people don`t see the Drifter as "a real aircraft" and " if the engine stop, they fall out of the sky". This afternoon, I told Kristy, on our next flight, she can follow me through on the controls! Frank, Ps, You back in the air?

Mowing the main strip this morning and blew a front tyre on my old tractor....This afternoon I was in the process of replacing both of them when my Granddaughter Kristy paid me an unexpected visit! What better excuse to give it away for the day than to take Kristy flying? Frank.
