Well Hi All.
Lets get something going - My name is Mike Cosgrove and I fly an Aerochute (#308 from the factory- nicknamed Winchester) mainly out of Caboolture QLD. TT is 56 hrs, I have 7o hrs on type and a couple on others.
Following are some pics taken flying around home, some of the machine and a couple chasing cattle. For those who dont know the Aerochute has a Rotax 503 does about 30 kts is approved CASA and RAA registered. My record height 4007' (4500 ceiling, see photo only had shorts on). It is a 2 seater side by side, have Raptor Intercom with Skyrider helmets, UHF and VHF & Garmin 60Csx. Electric Start (phew).
My machine dry is 115kg, fuel is 30ltr and MTOW has recently been increaed to 350kg.
The machine is slow and reactive to wind but is a fantastic platform for photography, having a look or chasing cattle and very STOL. My kids love it, even my 82 year old mum has been for a ride.
