G day trikepilot Have a look in your handbook and go read up on "Effects of the throttle" = Torque, Slipstream, Thrustline effect, Gyroscopic effect and Asymmetric blade effect. You may also check tyre pressure re ground effect/steering. Have a good new year and when you have time please call me or drop me an email or a no. to call you at, did you get my email? Cheers Zazoo

You are right John, all modifications on the Bantams sold in South Africa are aproved. So is the modifications I am talking about all done by the factory and approved.

Yea... but I must tell you the "mods" I have seen was only improvemnts to the existing design. For one the alluminium rims looks like a huge improvement for rough terrain (bigger wheel, and better brakes etc.) Zazoo

I don't know about the weight issue... I squash the gravity meter to 100kg and my mate ....bends the needle to ±105kg and the 80hp Jab motor had no problem getting us both air born at ±100m and cruising along at 55knots, climbing out at an avarage of 750 ft/min. (Airfield @ 500ft) The 6 cylinder was a total different experience....very short run and climbs well over 1000ft/min. But, yea... a very enjoyable plane with an Australian motor and all and...... Not many arround? Thank you for your view on the matter.... Zazoo

G'day all... I do not find much with regards to the Bantam B22j here in Australia. Why ? What is there that one should know...? What happened ...? I know, coming from South Africa the Bantam is doing very well over there and many 4 and 6 cylinder Jabiru's are flying there today. I stand to be corrected...Apparently, here in Australia .....NO 6 Cylinder Jabiru Bantams...? I just dont get it....? Where can I get to read more about the history of the Bantam in Australia and who is there to talk to about this air craft in Queensland? Can anybody direct me to a forum where it might have been discussed pls. Zazoo Everybody dies.....but not everybody lives! Fly a Bantam...mate!

Bantam airborne....Where? Hi you all… anybody…somebody! Where can one go or see any Bantam air craft flying? Or maybe I should be more to the point in asking if there are any Bantams flying in Queensland - Ayr, Mackay,Townsvile,Procerpine areas? Let us know …PM mail will be good! Thanx! Regards Zazoo

Hi Tony Great story!:thumb_up: Yes those Harvard’s........... Listening and watching them coming over in formation was awesome! It was probably the closest thing to even get an ostrich to take to the air…. Cheers Zazoo

G'day...pilots and those hard at work to qualify... I have done a quick chopper flight on this session both pages, and one thing seems clear and it looks like an international problem or should I say it's a woman's thing..... My "softness" also does not like flying but she never complains as long as I phone and letting her know when we back at the hangar... I always phone after the full stop landing ...then all is well at home But what really caught my eye were all the girls flying with their fathers.... Good to see/hear that, I have two girls, and the oldest now 12 yrs enjoy flying with me more than the younger one now age 10. (Keep it straight and level!!) Regards Zazoo
