G'day flyerme,Any pics of T1? And what sort of $$ you looking at?" if anyone's is still interested in thrusters"? Hell yeh we areAnd in a few months everyone will want a Jack Flyer type plane ....
Note...And we may need them for filming purposes ;)
I have photos in the restoration log book at the airfield, which is 135kms from my home, but I'll try to get there in the next few days or so. At present, both prototypes are partially dismantled for ease of storage.
I'm not familiar with forums, but I'll try uploading photos and any other info you may find useful. I also have a full set of Tony Hayes' TOSG Bulletins which would be invaluable to Thruster restorers.

G'day Friends, I'm wondering if there's anyone out there still interested in the prototype Thruster aircraft.
I have the original single seater, designated as T1 'Genesis' and the original Thruster Glasshouse which is in single seat configuration. Both aircraft are currently in non-flying condition and hangared at Watts Bridge airfield. If anyone is still interested in Thrusters, I can supply more info. Thanks, Rod

The Thruster Glasshouse prototype had the rego 19-1424, but I don't have any photos on hand. It started out as a 2-seater, but according to Tony Hayes, CASA only allowed it to be flown as a single seater due to insufficient wing area. Tony was heavily involved in the restoration of both aircraft.
I don't know the regs covering these aircraft now, but both could be easily returned to flying condition if anyone was so inclined.
These pics show the 40 hp Cyuna.
