Love the idea of living on the strip though must be a Airpark "Alsome "

I be keeping those gloves some where else ... Be a bugger in the prop ..

Welcome mate !

what?? i am going on 2 years, for the same reason! it really is insidious how it lines up like that. I have beaten the system a couple of times by booking an afternoon lesson during the week, but those are the exception.oh well fingers crossed for a nice nav on saturday...

I was working at Weipa at the time took leave to do my and I did all the paper work waiting for a chance to get my bum in the left hand seat blood rain just kept coming .....

Took me two weeks to do my RAA certificate because of rain. Innsfail weather !

U will get that speed but ya have to set up on the step first mate if u look at your wingtip u should be level with the horizon and have a slightly nose Down attitude , well that how my old girl flew at 70 kn she had a 582 ..

well done doug, i'll get in the sav and come see you one day.. i'll ring 1st so i dont get eaten by the resident angry cattle dog!

Papa 229 used to cruise at 70 kn and only use 12.5 lph !

I've seen a few occasions when Lightwings have been really planted-on, and everyone around goes "Jeez, thank god they're tough, many others would'nt have got away with that". Probably a bit like the Auster in that regards, "bouncey, bouncey!" if not done right.

Update :

We will be staying with 25 0032 and they have put the mtow back from 544 too 400kg all 25 register aircraft will have to conform to the original rego rule s .......

So will be heading north to innsfail around the 26th if the weather permits to bring my girl home :-)

Got to sort out rego first may have to change rego too 19 .. See what future bring may even go VH .... 400 kg will not cut it. Was 544 kg but now saying all 25 rego only 400 kg

Thanks mate look forward to flying her

Yes that one was redone at the factory, and as you say not a lot of problems found apart from the recover and repaint, after 4500 hrs.Mines eleven years old now, just done 600 hrs and still in great shape, and very reliable transport. I've only owned it for three years by the way.The first one out of the factory (032)is now being rebuilt after a prang some years ago, and the third out of the factory (035 I believe) was sitting there looking pretty on the line at the Old Station fly-in this year. It belongs to one of our forumite David See, and he is very happy to own it. Like the old 63 Falcon or EH Holdens they'll keep on keeping on......................................................................Maj...

A face only a mother could love !

Funny you should say that.I thought I had left my iPad in the car but looked twice and couldn't find it. I used the Where is my iPad app and it was accurate enough that it differentiated between house and car in the driveway. It WAS in the car!

I only have a plb

I am tracked every time I fly bye my wife using my iPad or iphone using an app that can track your phone or iPad

That's where we should be ! I think we are getting to close to ga now it's taken the fun and excitement away from the way it all started !

Much faster for me !

Enjoy your new found freedom.
