I remember the ME163 mainly because of the extremely reactive fuels it used. I didn’t know until now that it had gone transonic. According to Wikipedia, the aircraft landed after that 700 mph flight with almost all of the vertical rudder surface broken away from flutter. The wing sweep stemmed from its tailless nature and the need to balance the centre of gravity and centre of lift positions for stability purposes, not from any high speed aerodynamic requirements There is one in the Australia War Memorial in Canberra. It was captured by the British, taken to England for evaluation and presented to the Australian government in 1946.

Mark Hamilton at Eagle Air Murwillumbah has a high-wing Tecnam. He also operates out of Boonah i believe -

The Flight of the Phoenix is a fantastic film (SAAA member’s favourite) and well worth watching if you haven’t seen it. I first saw it on TV in the 1970s, and I’ve wanted to build my own aeroplane ever since. It follows the novel fairly closely, but leaves out some of the more gruesome bits. My copy even has the plans (not what I’m building).

Alan, I flew Don Matthews' Rotec-engined Rebel 4 weeks ago. Pretty sweet machine in my opinion. If you're going to Watts to look at BHI, Mullumbimby isn't too far out of your way. PM me if you want more information Mike

Hi Daniel, just checking if you have any hangar space available. Don't have anything yet, just doing the groundwork. Cheers

G'Day all, I'm based in SE Qld and just joined RAAus after many years flying GA. Planning to get my RPL over Christmas-New Year. Long term goal is to build something, not much spare time at the moment, but never say never. In the meantime I'm looking forward to exploring this fantastic forum and meeting fellow enthusiasts. Cheers!
