Re: 500ft up and down the coast of Sydney Australia

Ok, I am ready to come drink some Fosters with you and Drifter hahahaha, dang if I ever move away from the USA its gonna be for Australia or New Zealand. Amazing flying amigo thanks for sharing!!! Seriously, I am envious of you Aussie blokes in many ways, I had a bunch of Aussie friends in college that I worked with at the ski resorts, totally richous people they were!!! Looks like some decent countryside to boot in the land of the backwards toilet swirl :D

Why so sad? By all accounts a great aeroplane. (Please note the correct spelling you blokes, we are unsure of what airplanes are down here)

Re: 500ft up and down the coast of Sydney Australia

Ultralights, I think i recognize your plane from rec flying, would that be right?

where abouts do you fly from, may be rob, you and I need to have a fly in somewhere behind the range, that would be half wayish for bob and I, the first Australian BCP fly in! or maybe next time you come north Rob, maybe ultralights might like to come up to and we could Have a fly in at my Drake Strip!?

Re: 500ft up and down the coast of Sydney Australia

Drifterdriver, yep, Im Rob, usually on the recreational flying site,
My Savannah is based at Bankstown, so not much short field fun to be had, unless the tower guys give me runway centre, and i can get it stopped before the first taxiway exit.
There are a few firefighting strips around the mountains to the west, but sadly, our nany state of a country wont let anyone use them... unless its Yerranderri. which is a good fun place to fly into. plenty more right out west in the outback though, but its a 7 hour trip just to get there at 85 kts! but i am preparing the Savvy for some outback fun! nice big 8.5 inch slick tundra tyres ready to go...
