I'm not tall, just very short - for my weight.

FYI, FTA's Decathlon is broken and all of the old aeros instructors are no longer there.

Gerry Dick at Redcliffe has his near-new Citabria & Decathlon available.

I have a Pitts Special S2A I might put back into service at Brisbane Archerfield if there's sufficient interest.

UPU?

Some of the guys recently got into S-1's but I'm sure there would be some interest in renting an S-2A.

Does anyone here have contact details for Gerry, or are you reading this yourself maybe? Inquired about Aerobatics training with the Redcliffe Aero Club the other day and they have a new instructor that does their aerobatics/taildragger stuff, a lady called Trish. Anyone flown with her and willing to spill the beans? They said they're no longer making bookings for Gerry and have a six week lead time at the moment anyway

outofwhack if someone can recommend a good instructor that works out of Archerfield, I might be interested in hiring the S2A. What sort of hourly rate would you be looking for?

Plank,

if you're around YRED, just turn left instead of right, go to the end, park on the left and his is the hangar behind bob taits. I've also PM'd you his details.

Perhaps outofwhack and Gerry should have a discussion?

Last I heard Gerry was establishing his own flying school, so no wonder they're not using him anymore. He'll probably take his Citabria and Decathlon with him too.

The six week lead time is no surpise either.

So is Gerry the guy advertising for instructors in the AviationTrader?

Cheers for the contact details, will definitely give him a holler!

Anyone know who operates VH-BWR at YBAF? Blue coloured Citabria (I think)

I'm looking for a mid range aeros machine for hire at Archerfield. Citabria, Decathlon type category.

Cheers

AAA use it for their upset recovery and aerobatic training.

You might be able to hire it and an instructor through RQAC. Don Mitchell is probably your best bet.
