  1. Thanks for quick reply :) I saw Heck Field and thought it looked ideal but apparently no hangar space at the moment? Looks ideal if it could work. cheers
  2. Any @400m strips within an hours drive of the Gold Coast that aren’t published on the sectionals that would have room for a STOL aircraft? Looking to move up that way in the near future and would appreciate some inside info.
  3. Wow there are a lot of nit pickers out there..... This looks like a pretty good job to me - well done to the pilot.
  4. Hi there Seb, sorry just read your reply. I've got a blue head 582 - How did your lap in your mate's S14 go?
  5. Thanks Frank. Rans make a pretty neat little aeroplane - my one has electric flaps and they generally fly like a much bigger aircraft. Plus the visibility is amazing for an enclosed cockpit (like a chopper).
  6. Not sure if that was quick thinking of the P1 to unlatch the door following the collision (in case the frame bent and jammed the door), or maybe the rapid swing round un popping the latch/flinging an open door outwards. If deliberate then that's pretty quick reactions from the pilot. Also right rudder into the turn - seems counter intuitive but maybe trying to avoid a stall, the jolt caused P1 to step on the right pedal or deliberately trying to shed the canopy from the wing. Anyhow great to see both walked away from this. In the end we're all up there for pretty much the same reasons and too often these accidents don't end so well.
  7. Hi there, I've been a pilot for thirty years and I'm interested in pretty much everything that flies. I'm currently operating an S-14 out of Somersby on the NSW Central Coast. It's good to be on board at Recreational Flying. Cheers
