    That's actually really cool!

    Wonder why there was only the left wheel spat on the aircraft? Seems a bit odd.... Flapless landing which is why he's so low and flat I would imagine... Coming into Toowoomba you have to fly right over a street to land, I've always wondered what would happen if a high load was going past at the same time you were coming in a bit low over the fence - something like this no doubt!

    Yep, I've looked into this, reckon I should stick on the back of this.... By the way, that's Mum and Dad...

    Thanks guys, yeah that's the one we're talking about - ferrying it home for the new owner in a week or so, looks like a great plane - never really heard about them till I got the call to help with this one. Been researching a bit, seems they are a pretty universal airframe, can even put a 912 ULS on 'em!

    All good here... not sure what I've done but just updated my password when I got the notice of the change and there was no issue... you will need to do the latest update to Naips and Ozrunways on your i device for it to work however.

    Ah man... too close to home, not that it makes much difference but still!!

    Anyone know anything about these aircraft, they seem pretty nifty!
  10. Tomo
    Apparently they're working on the Naips thingo, and said there could be problems till they have it sorted... guess that means sit back and wait and see if it gets better!

    Will miss this due to my 21st party being on the same day!! but not in the same town... hmm

    What I've seen done, and will be doing in my plane is just putting the UHF speaker output through the headset earphones, and for mic just use the hand held mic from the UHF. Worked really well in the 182 I used it in at the time! And much simpler than trying to tap into the UHF mic system with a PTT etc...

    It's a pretty hard question that, as it really depends on what you want to do with it. Fun around the farm, touring, practical, robust etc.... I've flown many types and still haven't really settled on an all rounder favourite yet. Other than maybe the C206... but that's not RAA! One of the aircraft I was most impressed by would have to the the Rans S7 Courier, here's a quick video I did of a flight in one. However I do like side by side seating for those times when you're travelling with a good friend etc... so that's the only thing that's holding me back from saying it's one of my 'most' favourite aircraft! But definitely one of my favourites.

    I'm not really a fan of them, but that's just me... the engine is a Rotax 912 so plenty of reliability there. Easy to fly, vis is good as some have already mentioned, however that creates it's own drama's on a hot sunny day! And they're expensive! If I had the choice between a foxy and a Sav S I'd go the Sav...

    What about this bachelor?
  16. Tomo
    Now that's an idea, I can take all... err... five friends with me then...

    You know why the skeleton didn't cross the road? 'cause he had no body to go with him.
  18. Tomo
    Yeah, dying to live...
  19. Tomo
    Haha, nice one Pete, however I'd probably die in the process...
  20. Tomo
    Yeah, and a Drifter probably wouldn't have the same effect...
  21. Tomo
    Need the other half first! And I don't suppose you'd be volunteering??

    Awesome! So going by your Avatar you would be flying with Neil and Co and GoFly! Great bunch. I'm just west of you at Cecil Plains 350klms or so... yeah get into the theory part and get them over and done with, and you'll fly through the other part - literally! That's what I did. Yes I'm kinda heading towards doing mission flying eventually, but at the moment just enjoying what I can and trying to make ends meet as a mobile diesel fitter... will have to catch up sometime, I know Neil pretty well.

    Well done buddy! Great to hear! Where about's do you fly from? I'm also a fairly young pilot, 21 in 9 days... but who's counting! Been flying for nearly 4 yrs or so now which has been pretty cool. What do you want to do when you're older, aviation, or is it just a hobby?
  24. Tomo
    Brilliant!!
  25. Tomo
    So why do they say; you fall in love with someone, and in doing so can be high as a kite... oh the conundrums of life.
