flyerme

well hmm I, definatly don't want that on my consience,if he goes down,, ill slowly and slighly walk away and claim I was never there..... ..oh after I check if his alright of coarse.....lol

we'll see how it all pans out..

update,hmm bit sus..he can,t find the log book,and says its some where in the hanger? ha claims he called RAA and was told to have a stat deck signed,? he has still not found the log book

i am awaiting his call to go back out tomorrow (im not comitted as only put a $50 deposit so no big loss..)it suggested I say "if you fly it !..... I'll but it! ", if he's willing to put her in a curcuit im willing to fly her home.

we'll see tomorrow reg is 19 - 0174 but still can't find it anywhere. this maybe why he can,t sell it.....Im starting to think it may be chinese = looks strong and pretty on the outside but really made of spegetti & tissue paper....

Greetings Flyerme As you have a bit of time prior to inspection, I'd suggest you canvas fellow RecFlying 'forumites' on these pages as whether any of us have specific information on that particular aircraft. You wouldn't go amiss by posting it's RAA rego Nr (I can't make it out in the ebay photo) and current whereabouts with a general query about "who knows what?" with regards it's background/current state. Unless it's been flown solely off a private strip all it's life, someone is bound to know something about it's history and flying record. Despite there being some 10,000 RAA members around Oz, recreational aviation is a pretty small world and, because we're always talking aircraft, there ain't a lot of secrets. Have fun & good luck. Cheers Riley

Is the crashed one the green and white one which ditched into trees after takeoff? If so, I have a series of photos from the owner when it was last for sale. Really nice little machine and well priced also from memory. Can post the photos if anyone is interested in what a nice one looks or looked like.

take it easy

yeh it started at $8500,then sat at $7500 for 3-5 months and last week back on for $6500..

Murray bridgeI'm the l2 at Rpa flying school and training to be an instructor.

I think it may have had 2 stroke?

i was keen on the green gazelle in Mikes hanger but couldn't come up with the funds but hoping this Supercat in wellington turns out legit....finding it hard to get info on these lil ag lookin thingies

No probs Tim. The trip in the Lightwing might take an hour or two (joke) so I know what you mean by low performance!See you soon,

 

Tony

it did have a 502 in it and was replaced with a 447......Ive heard mixed reviews? some say the design won a few awards and is an excellent all round performer suited to short rough strips,but then i've heard they had pitch problems? so I want to know if this is going to be suited to my needs, ie...short rough strip handle the wind ,alway blowing around 8 knotts and have no unwanted suprises.......I like my planes predictable ...

Hey Tony,yep you guys truely made my day!...... Im here 95% of the time ..so no need for advanced notice, just fly in,,send me a message the night before if you like but not important....

if the winds down you can garentee ill be up there two...can,t miss me Ill be the one hovering at 45 knotts at 500ft above trying to mush my plane to hit 50...lol mush mush ya .......

look forward to it, and thanks again .

take it easy

(pretty quite out here so visiters wanted but may be captured and forced to sign a revisiting agreement...

This reminds me of the Javelin forsale on Ebay.(I used to be a part owner in one nearly twenty years ago). Anyway It was for sale for about about 14K. I asked a friend of mine who is on this site his thoughts, which where the same as mine as what it is worth. So I sent a message to the bloke, saying "you are kidding mate, at best it is worth about 5K with the trailer". Anyway it is for sale now for $4200 I think with no bids.Disclamer- this has nothing to do with the supercat/bobcat forsale.It looks like a good price. I thought I better share this , because some people ask WAY to much for their aircraft.Do research.Sorry Flyme, I have Hi jacked your thread,I have looked at the advert, and to me sounds good.I live in QLD so to far for me to look at it, if down the road I would have given it a serious though of buying it .

ill find out reg sat or thinking I might do a suprise visit tomorrow as I know he is out there fri and sat....

We'll be over for a flypast on Thursday in a Jab 160. Probably around 10:30ish. We won't land but will definately waggle the wings :)

wind was 9-10 notts sth with up to 13knott gusts, I sure as hell would not want to be up thier in my thruster..lol full 90 deg x wind like that would have me 60-70 deg weather cock but your jabi looked to be handling just fine...hmm I may be becoming another jabi fan...lol

thank you so much

take it easy and keep smiling

Tim

should mention have NOT put a deposit down, antill I sat mourn, so no commitment

yep, that'll be her. been watching it for 7 months ,watching the price ever so slowly drop made a couple of offers in that time but ended buying the lil thruster..went and checked it out (only 20 mins away)

looks good,strong, all working,runs smooth(new prop),radio,rego,, put in an offer and she all mine. but how dose she fly? can I put her down easy on my 300 mtr strip?

any info please.

just put a deposit down on a supercat with a 447 rotax currently reg and will be flown home but been finding hard to get any info and reviews on these aircraft? any help very nuch appreciated.

p.s Ive always had a love affair with the supercat as it resembles my altimate plane THE "AT-802" (AIR TRACTOR)

What are powerlines, trees, fences and other obstacles like...? Anything to watch out for? (Im a little too far away so I can't visit any time soon.. but the more info about it the more prepared we can be .)

Hey Flyerme, I think your place would make a nice 'Beginners target' for nav training. I might even try to find it myself the next time I fly. Mind you, using GoogleEarth, I found Sherlock but couldn't find your strip. Where should I be looking? How far out of town are you?

10 METERS WEST OF HANGER LARGE ORAGE SOCK. HOPE THAT HELPS

cool,I remember this vid from a few years back,theres one still flying out at karoonda......ah what I nice reminder

yes,built at goolwa in the 80,s,mine was used for mustering and still had the air horn on it..lol ,full alloy main wings but tended to crack and throw rivets,but handled pretty good.smaller first model(same wing span ,smaller pod.

yeh I thought a jabi might find it a little short, ....on google eath we are the little coner property about 500mtrs wst of town ship you can make out a sandy track running est wst ..thats now the runway..

Note: runway is wide and clearly marked with white markers. and is DIRT,......skinny old runway black ,gravel- no go -over grown and unsevicable and too skinny,

RUNWAY clearly visable

take it easy and watch for me in the air...........

Hello,Today at 3pm we had what apeared to be a Jabiru flying at around 1500ft above our airfield , It came from Murray Bridge direction (wst heading est) then made a turn and headed back west. Just wondering if any one on here was the pilot? for the record anyone flying in the area welcome any time to fly in ,runway only 900 ft(300mtrs) dirt stip running est/wst, fly in for cupa....take it easy and any info appreciated

well i could stay calm if it was a snake but if it was a daddy long legs, with them legs and alll !!!! well im out of there parachute or no parachute

I s

I've mentioned it before in this forum, if a big hairy huntsman spider starts running around in my car I just keep driving and ignore the bugger because one day it could happen in the plane. One cannot jam on brakes and dive out the door when flying. I would however, rather a mouse run across the dash than the spider!
