Natfly 2010

Hi all, I just came across this site as a wrap-up from Natfly 2010 at Temora.

Apparently trip reports etc will find their way up there shortly.

It was a good event and for the most part the ultralight guys behaved themselves.

Lets see.

Best rag and tube = Jabiru
Best white plane = Jabiru
Best plastic plane = Jabiru
Longest distance = Jabiru
Shortest flight = Jabiru
Most tools carried = Jabiru
Most parts used in getting to the event = Jabiru
Most planes arriving on a flat bed = Jabiru
Most oil leaks = Jabiru
Most bent noselegs = Jabiru
Most people with their hands between their legs = Jabiru
Most popular aircraft = Jabiru
First plane there = Jabiru
Last plane to leave = Jabiru

etc, etc.

I was getting traffic reports with RIS for a while. They mutually gave up in the end.

Going by the above I'm glad I chose to drive down. I must say a most enjoyable day was had by yours truly and the KRviatrix (Who incidentally has now christened Jon Johanson "South Pole Man")...

Best part for me was being able to play with the TruTrak and Dynon EFIS setups, as well as being able to point to an RV-7 and say "that one", then have her spy the -10 parked down the taxiway and decide she likes it more.

One way or another, a productive trip.

Can't remember the rego, but it was parked down deadend of taxiway E. And was fitted with dual Garmin 1000's... Talk about overkill.

Went along for the talk on building the RV-12 by Van's brother and it was parked right outside. So, if it belongs to a PPruner, you have my thanks.

They were certainly Garmin 1000's. Or maybe 900's. They both look the same to me (out of my price range)...Side by side, very big, very Garmin, very expensive looking... Most definately not Dynon Skyview/GRT/AFS/MGL/Chelton or any of the "traditional" glass cockpit suppliers to homebuilders, more's the pity as if/when I get an RV, it's probably Dynon's Skyview system I'll be installing in it.

A bit of investigative work has me thinking it may have been VH-XLD...

Very sneaky XXX.....

A quick check of the CASA A/C rego's reveals LLL to be a PA-39....I've just got to get me one of those newly configured PA-39's.....

Well done....

Because the 430's and similar still can't compete with the 296-495.

Cause you can NEVER have too many GPS's !!!!

Forkair SOPs stipulate three (3) as minimum equipment.
