Hey UL

I know that plane......Very Well.

Ohhh I think its even featured on some video in this thread.

Now don't ask me too many questions....otherwise I will incriminate Bill .

hehehehheheheh

Actually its a well built machine, one of 3 or 4 he has built. It should serve you well.

Bill and Jen are great people! and he builds a fantastic quality aircraft, i just hope the factory version is built to the same standard.
When his new one arrives i most likely will fly back up and have pay them a visit, by then i should be competent enough with the sub 100 Mtr landing to fly into his place! been getting plenty of practice out at Jaspers flying the approach at 35 Kts! The guys at The Gong dont like it too much, hence the 60 kt approaches in the vid. keep the GA guys happy!



DR, the camera is a GoPro HD Hero. with a flat mount bonded to the wingtip.
as can be seen here, and no, i didnt name her...blame the other half for that!

OK

Your challenge is a new type of circuit, the 3x50 CCT. thats Not above 50 feet, Not above 50 knots and not above 50 seconds. Suggest not at the Gong though!

35 knots....you adding a couple over Vsx1.3

Apart from Bill and a A320 Captain mate I have been the only otherone approved for his strip so far....you will join an elite club then. Well small perhaps.

This one does feature the Dr and his Bro's mooney...and his Bro in a C210....but your new baby features too


And here........and I might have one of your machine arriving and departing...I did hide behind a tree

There's not a lot of margin left in those short takeoff's. Luckily there's no power-lines thrown in the mix.

I like the bit where the horses bolt, looks like he quickly went full noise.

Thanks Trojan

I do not fly them often, but when I get the chance its always fun. The margin is deceptive, sure there is not a lot, but the strip and macjine is probably not much different or even better than many PNG strips and a C185/C206. So its all relative.

Ultralights will no doubt have his new machine in and out of some fun places and with that Camera we should enjoy some great video.

They are slow though....the owner of the strip with all the tree's is actually thinking of another faster machine as well......like an RV . Must be fun going from an A320 to a Savannah in a day....contrasts of life!

Do you drive it up and down the strip first a few times to cut the grass?

i will definitely collect some great video from here on in, but it will be some time before i attempt a strip like that! I should be able to handle bills strip soon though, at least it has nice open approaches above the strawberries.
