    First time as a student was in a Thruster T500, after my short break of 19 years it was a 2004 Sportstar then, like a Ferrari by comparison.

    This plane stuff is tricky. You have to think 5 steps ahead, what happens if I do this?, if it breaks what happens? I am putting a trim tab in a plane that did not have one to start with and its already been back to the think tank a few times. I like that all the thinking is being done by someone else on this one.

    Hi, do any members live near Maryborough that would be able to pack and post a small lot from the John fisher auction for me. I would be happy to pay for their services and costs. Got a scary quote from the company recommended by auction house. PM me if you can help. Cheers Clinton B

    I agree. Would want reversible prop pitch to not run away. Specs are great if you want to get somewhere fast but that valley strip looks like a supercub would be more at home.

    Whatever you do, if it's for you don't put it off. I had a 20 year gap between flying lessons and you can't gain it back ( the time). Have heaps of fun in your endeavours. Even the times when you don't get things just right are still learning points. Cheers and welcome. Clinton.

    This guy would have plans built this aircraft, and to do so would have taken skill. I doubt he would change the engine and not do a new w&b before hopping in it. It's a shame most people hear homemade and think of sticks and duct tape with an engine.

    Looks like the ragwing storch by the paint job, watched it on you tube a few times

    Sad, 10 news just reported he texted friends that he expected poor performance from the the aircraft due to the heat. It's probably hard to tell yourself on such a nice day that it's a no go. Horrible to watch and know it's not going to recover.

    My 2nd last flight, day was perfect at sun up, turned very gusty by 10am. Nice to see Chaffey dam full after years of low levels.

    all the South African guys said the same thing about my Bushbaby, lose the training wheel when it broke.

    Once landed with the wind because the big boys were in the circuit already and doing so for morning sun. Took the full 2200m to slow down enough to turn back to exit. learnt my lesson why we were always taught into wind and when to wait outside the circuit until clear if needed.

    Just for amusment try going to Centrelink or whatever nice name they have now and watch the young ugg boot and pyjama brigade march in with their IPhone 100's etc covered in tattoos "because they are poor" or having a fag whilst waiting outside holding 1 to 2 prams(these are the morons I spoke of before). When I moved to NSW 16 years ago as a sole parent of 2 under 18months-(one of these animals run of on kids to have another 7 by age 38) I received almost double what I earned working hard for 40-50hrs per week. I lived the high life financially. All the extras, plus pension, fas, etc. I went mental with sitting around - off and trained at TAFE- then work again thanks to a good woman' s help to raise these kids, plus 3 new ones and run a business to success after 14 years to getting rewards finally. I get a nice letter once a year form the ATO outlining where the tax I pay goes. It is scary. the largest chunk is to Single parent familys- Most of which would not exist if they did not have boyfriends living with them on newstart at home to shag. The smallest ammounts g to defence, old aged, schools, roads etc. they even give you a coloured bar graph chart. that is what sh#ts me. There are other things they should be doing with our money. I know this is off point a bit, but pollies have a lot to answer for.
