Who is going to Queensland Championships

[MCKES]

Are any ppruners going the the Queensland championships at Watts Bridge. Just wondering if anyone knows anybody taking a Pitts S1 or One design. As I am interested in both designs and would love the opportunity to have a look at one.
Thanks

What Queensland Championships??

We're not mind readers!

Ya know, taily, I've seen the odd moderator get all snarley when someone comes on and asks a question about well discussed topics, to the tune of "Try a search!!".

Well, much as I know what event was being discussed (I won a couple of 'em!!) I put "Queensland Championships Watts Bridge" into Google and presto!! tons of info on the Queensland State Aerobatic Championships, Watts Bridge.

What other championships would a Pitts S1 or a One design be going to?

MCKES, only one design I know of flying in Aus is Richard Wiltshires'. http://extraaerobatics.com.au/index.php

He recently got a new "toy", so he MIGHT be persuaded to part with his.

Thanks wiz sorry i didn't thought most to reply would know what it is. I am not wanting to buy one I am interested in building, and would like to be able to see one in person if possible mainly interested in the S1 Pitts. My main problem is height I am 6ft probably still growing too not the best size to fit into such planes.

Yeah, I'm with Tailie,
I thought the QLD Championships are at Warwick in Sept!

Try googling that wiz.

[I've won a couple of them too!!]

[Wizofoz]

....And are you competing in a Pitts or a One design Tank???

[djpil]

For info, there are 3 other One-Designs in Victoria.
I've heard that there'll be a couple of S-1's at Watts Bridge.
See you there.

Yer wouldnt get me watching a bunch of Wallys in flight suits with pens in shoulder pockets parading in front of a crowd hands outstretched walking up and down turning and ducking and bending and going brrrrrrrrmmm...

You have obviously never flown a comp unknown before tin?

Better to look like a tool on the ground than in the air. I'm getting the impression you are quite good at both.

[Tankengine]

Nah Wiz, a 28 or 29!

The "one design" is only about 30:1, why there are so few pewees in Oz

Some of the roughest guys I have flown with fly Pitts!

[and that is not a slag at all Pitt's drivers so no war please!]

[tinpis]

Cheeky sod

There are known knowns and unknown knowns but I know I'd give Svetlana One for her two handed pole pulling

[Wizofoz]

Tank,

By One design, you mean that PW-5 thing? Yes, one design gliding was the best idea to get ruined in execution for a long time!!

I got the idea that it would be better to form a class around these- http://www.aeros.com.ua/structure/al/index_en.php

Cheap, easily transported, obviously not a huge performer but the idea is to have every one the same. What do you think?

[Flying Binghi]

Caint get your link to work Wizofoz

[Wizofoz]

Give it a try now

[Tankengine]

Having everyone the same is a great idea but I think most would want more performance. I would like a fly though!
It would be a good bridge between hangies and sailplanes.
Doesn't look like it would like aeros!!

Haha on that we agree tin!
