Really ??? Why is this ?
-
No problem - RAA Rego done ! Anything else ?? Thanks for your help guys... I really thank you all.

Yeah, you right. But, as I said, I'm having my first child shortly and I don't have the time to build a kit. I added everything up... Rotax 912, kit, pro paint, steaqm panel with Ipad.. came up to about 70k.. Plus 700-1000 hours ( i KNOW it would take me 1000 hours ) and this has been built by a builder that has built 4 planes so it MUST be good.. But, Im insistent on paying an expert to go over the plane first. Here is a pictures of the plane...........

Why ?
-
No.. Looking at a " much loved " one.. 110 TT for $85k.

Well, My wife is due with our first child ( a Boy ) in a few month so I thought I better go and buy a plane before that ! I have one in my sights... Stay tuned... My only concern, is wood ribs. Then how many aircraft out there HAVE wood ribs that do aeros and provided you do regular inspections. should be no problem..

I love all of my RC fleet ! As you can tell, I like them big !

I uploaded a video of my recreational U.A.V in the video section for those interested in seeing what I see flying them.

Hi Guys, After whittling down my list of aircraft to buy, the top of my list is now the Just Aircraft Highlander. Apart from the terrible company name ( sounds like a OJ company or something ! ) the aircraft has nothing but great feedback. Is anyone flying one that can purhaps provide me with some advice or help here ? I'm yet to finish my RAA licence ( only a few hours left ) so I'm pretty wet behind the ears so to speak but this looks like a safe, easy to fly and versatile aircraft. I'm comfortable with Taildraggers having learnt to fly in an Auster when i was 16 but I never got my licence back then as my Dad taught me to fly. Cheers G

Thanks for the kind words Tom !

Hey all, Thanks for the replies ! Nice to find an active forum for RAA ! Tom, my monthly column is called Park Pilot. Sure you would of read it each issue. Yeah, I big on FPV aswell. BoingK, could not agree more. As we all know, all aeroplanes are compromises. For me, I like back country flying and landing on beaches etc. Have not done that much of it yet but Im looking at buying a Highlander so that's on the cards... after I gather some more experiences AND additional training for STOL flying. I need to find a school with a similar taildragger I can finish of my RAA with.... Hmm...

Hi pilots, First post here and I just wanted to say G`day ! I'm "plane mad" and always have been. I'm finishing of my RAA citificate after 10 years hiatus after doing most of it in a Jabiru. Dusting of my log book I need about 5 hours to finish it off but I'm not current so expect that to double at least. Im looking to buy an aircraft at the moment. Would love a Carbon Cub S2 but its out of my price range at the moment. Im also building a Hanger at Rylstone NSW to keep my plane in, I'm also madly in to RC Aircraft and aerobatics and 3D flying and UAVs.. I also write for Airborne magazine for the last 5 years or so doing product reviews and teaching aerobatics. Looking forward to learning lots on this forum. Cheers - G

Looking To Buy A Savage Cub - Has Any One Got One ?
Gforce replied to Gforce's topic in Aircraft General Discussion
OK Thanks Michael - Well, you have spoke to my Dad last week ( bing ) so we will test it in the coming weeks and think you are getting an order. On another note, do you know if there will be a matching RC model like Zlin have done with the Bobber ? Also, sold any bobbers down under yet ? -
Looking To Buy A Savage Cub - Has Any One Got One ?
Gforce replied to Gforce's topic in Aircraft General Discussion
Thanks all - Dave, yes I did read your article. I believe that was the " classic " with 80 ponnies ? We are looking at the Cub, so the latest version with 100 hp. I have read, and re read everything I can find about them. The main con I can find it the lack of buffeting prior to stalling.. they kind of just quit flying. Michael, can you shead some insight here please. I know you the importer and have seen you thread contributions but have found past posting fairly un biased so over to you.... -
My Dad and I are going partners in a new aircraft and originally, we really liked the Carbon Cub but this cost is just to prohibitive. This looks a good compromise to us. Has anyone got one here ? http://www.mcp.com.au/cub/models/cub/cub.html Cheers Garth

I like it ! The rear fuse and empanage reminds me of a Glastar
-
Oh good - Hope you enjoy my columns ( park Pilot ) and reviews.
-
I have a regular column for the last 5 years in Airborne and will be doing some freelance for Sports pilot very soon.
-
I would look forward to that -

H Hi Dexter, Yes mate, First cab of the rank so to speak. Start building soon. Cheers Garth
-
Thanks all - Any help I can provide would be my pleasure but I think its going to be weighted on me requesting your help to be honest !
-
Th thanks Dave - Nice Bantam you have there !

Hi Guys, Just found this forum and I'm doing an internal loop and roll ! Thrilled I have found somewhere I hope I can learn from. Quick background, Im an aviation nut, but do not have a current ticket but that's all about to change. I'm a columnist for Australia's leading RC magazine, Airborne and teach aerobatic, electric flight set ups and most recently drone flying. My Dads an aviation nut to and we have owned 5 aircraft and currently own an RV-8 ( his ) and I'm looking to buy a Cub crafter sport. Im going to have to finish my RAA licence ( 5 hours to go ) as next year we are building a hanger home in Rysltone NSW where we will keep 3 aircraft ( and ALOT of my RC aerobats ) Im the Australia dealer for Flynano that is currently in development. Im all ears. Kind Regards Garth ( Gforce to my mates )
