    Hi Dave was great to fly but didn't do many hrs in it had to transport it to longer airfields. The strip at Labertouche dont think is in use anymore years ago there was a death there we haven't been there years l will find out and let you know the best strip is Williams strip at Lardner it is 1000mts they are opening up a club and a school there it has been private strip we used to train out of it its all grass strip the only problem is if you get a strong easterly you get bad rotor near the hanger and the bush so test you out. cheers Geoff..

    Hi what color is on the underside of the paint and when the paint flakes off is the ceconite clean .
  25. skyfox1
    It can be done but with the effort of preparing the ceconite surface it would be better to recover .
