    Looks very short. Wonder if it was twitchy in pitch.

    That's just someone doing their IFR test isn't it?

    But at least I know where to go if I ever want to buy some qualifications.

    He wants a Macca's to fit in it.

    If you had the power switch linked to the tail wheel so the screen only turned on when the wheel was on the ground, it wouldn't be a distraction.

    Sorry Skippy, my fat fingers somehow managed to rate this topic. Wasn't trying to.

    Well, that's the weirdest thing I've seen today.

    Nah. But I did install the seatbelts recently, so it's even safer to sit in.

    Inaccurate, the guy in the middle isn't on his phone.

    I think there's enough stupid people in England that you don't have to go looking for reds under the bed.

    Good luck, there aren't enough digits in the phone number. I think there's a few more users now compared to 54 years ago.

    Watched this or something similar the other day. Interesting structure, diagonal braced welded tube rectangular shape over a one piece wooden wing. Kudos to him for using an Allison engine and 1:1 scale. Be bloody expensive to fly and maintain I reckon.

    I'm just waiting til the government fleet gets auctioned. In that case it'll be better if the dealers won't stock them as it'll keep the bidding down.

    I thought it was one hell of an Afro.

    Another good description I read was "a midget flogging half a ton of future dog food".

    Well said.

    They've used them on the Hobart - Melbourne route for quite a while. I liked them, the 2+3 seating layout meant you had half the chance of getting a middle seat. Plus they seemed a bit quieter than the 737's and A320's.

    The clips were good, but the narrator was bloody annoying. Especially when he kept calling runways "roads" and referred to a B-52 as "another KC135 tanker"...

    I'm sure it's been done before... but....

    Let me guess the audio... "This'll be close." *CRUNCH* "Shit! Ah well... she'll be right!"

    That's a fair old whack. There's no way he didn't know he hit something.

    Look like a lot of fun. Bet farmers who currently use helicopters to muster stock are watching that video and wondering about costs.

    Great watch, thanks Brendan!

    Thanks Bob. And looking at that last photo, I've just discovered where I left my glasses...

    If I get a spill and it damages the top window I might - but I'm not going to change it out just in case.
