Gaggle of Thrusters..

Lot of old school fun on the weekend. with 3 Thrusters up and running together. The foreground T300 and two T500's. 

 

One of the T500's has batons inside the elevator and rudder skins to tension the fabric. They seem to be made of some sort of foam material. Works well, not sure where that comes from.

 

One of them also has the pitot probe out on the wing that makes a lot more sense than in front of the nose cone. It is the only one with an airspeed indicator that doesn't swing wildly when under full power.

Hey Craig, do the other cirrus pilots still talk to you😂. We will have to get together when the Cowra Thruster crew get sorted.

I don't talk to them 🙂

I remember when a gaggle of rag-n-tubes (Drifters from memory) turned up at Narromine for Natfly.

They’d come all the way from tropical Qld and formed up into an impressive squadron for their late-afternoon arrival, with a single radio call announcing the whole group. Impressive.
