Hi Guys,

After whittling down my list of aircraft to buy, the top of my list is now the Just Aircraft Highlander. Apart from the terrible company name ( sounds like a OJ company or something ! ) the aircraft has nothing but great feedback. Is anyone flying one that can purhaps provide me with some advice or help here ? I'm yet to finish my RAA licence ( only a few hours left ) so I'm pretty wet behind the ears so to speak but this looks like a safe, easy to fly and versatile aircraft. I'm comfortable with Taildraggers having learnt to fly in an Auster when i was 16 but I never got my licence back then as my Dad taught me to fly.

Cheers

Thanks for the kind words Tom !

Hey all, Thanks for the replies ! Nice to find an active forum for RAA ! Tom, my monthly column is called Park Pilot. Sure you would of read it each issue. Yeah, I big on FPV aswell.

BoingK, could not agree more. As we all know, all aeroplanes are compromises. For me, I like back country flying and landing on beaches etc. Have not done that much of it yet but Im looking at buying a Highlander so that's on the cards... after I gather some more experiences AND additional training for STOL flying.

I need to find a school with a similar taildragger I can finish of my RAA with.... Hmm...

Hi pilots,

First post here and I just wanted to say G`day !

I'm "plane mad" and always have been. I'm finishing of my RAA citificate after 10 years hiatus after doing most of it in a Jabiru. Dusting of my log book I need about 5 hours to finish it off but I'm not current so expect that to double at least. Im looking to buy an aircraft at the moment. Would love a Carbon Cub S2 but its out of my price range at the moment. Im also building a Hanger at Rylstone NSW to keep my plane in, I'm also madly in to RC Aircraft and aerobatics and 3D flying and UAVs..

I also write for Airborne magazine for the last 5 years or so doing product reviews and teaching aerobatics.

Looking forward to learning lots on this forum.

Cheers - G

OK Thanks Michael - Well, you have spoke to my Dad last week ( bing ) so we will test it in the coming weeks and think you are getting an order. On another note, do you know if there will be a matching RC model like Zlin have done with the Bobber ? Also, sold any bobbers down under yet ?

Thanks all - Dave, yes I did read your article. I believe that was the " classic " with 80 ponnies ? We are looking at the Cub, so the latest version with 100 hp. I have read, and re read everything I can find about them. The main con I can find it the lack of buffeting prior to stalling.. they kind of just quit flying. Michael, can you shead some insight here please. I know you the importer and have seen you thread contributions but have found past posting fairly un biased so over to you....

My Dad and I are going partners in a new aircraft and originally, we really liked the Carbon Cub but this cost is just to prohibitive. This looks a good compromise to us. Has anyone got one here ?

Hi Guys,

Just found this forum and I'm doing an internal loop and roll ! Thrilled I have found somewhere I hope I can learn from. Quick background, Im an aviation nut, but do not have a current ticket but that's all about to change. I'm a columnist for Australia's leading RC magazine, Airborne and teach aerobatic, electric flight set ups and most recently drone flying. My Dads an aviation nut to and we have owned 5 aircraft and currently own an RV-8 ( his ) and I'm looking to buy a Cub crafter sport.

Im going to have to finish my RAA licence ( 5 hours to go ) as next year we are building a hanger home in Rysltone NSW where we will keep 3 aircraft ( and ALOT of my RC aerobats ) Im the Australia dealer for Flynano that is currently in development.

Im all ears.

Kind Regards

Garth ( Gforce to my mates )
