Austers
Low n Slows Auster must be one of the nicest around - and its been on the telly with its lucky owner - Plane Crazy on Discovery.
I am a real fan of the Cirrus Major 3.
I had a go in Chris Harrisons Auster out of Shotteswell Banbury a week or so ago.
Amazing how much mud can actually cling onto an aeroplane and still be there when you get back...
Great fun and a classic taildragger for tuppence hapenny.
Aren't us old plane nutters lucky that your average spamcan driver wouldn't even consider one - and wouldn't be able to fly one anyway without spending a few quid on a conversion.. That keeps the price down for the enthusiasts.
Funny isn't it that you can buy a perfectly airworthy Auster with lots of hours/ CofA left for a lot less than a rebuilt engine ?
Bring 'em to G-VFWE guys! We love 'em!
Can I have a go in yours Low n Slow?? (even though theres no way you'll get to 100 replies to your thread and I definately will!)
All the best!
