Just a quick question is that CWH if so where is it now ??? Still in Hempel colours and Ag-carryall scheme. Will change colours one day soon. 185. |
ZeeBee, sweeping statements and a very black and white view of the world are my forté! Yes mods, hat and coat are ready.... |
Does any one have a photo of CKT (or CKP) in the original red & white colour scheme they had when they were first with Mount Cook Airlines?
|
OK...here is one from the resident PPRuNe C185 guru.....short strip their bloke!
Nice video quality......wht is the new equipment? |
Anyone ever put the wheels in the correct place on a Caravan?:confused:
That might be a good ship!:ok: |
Nice video quality......wht is the new equipment? ForkMount Mk3 is currently under development - should be ready for field testing next week! Dr :8 |
Here is another using the patented "Fork Mount tm"
|
Whilst we're here, does anyone one know of a c180/185 that maybe available for hire around Auckland / Ardmore?
|
You could try Phil with ZK-CAS (C180) he may lease it, and has been known to in the past.

After years of reading about C180/185s i finally got my hands on a C180 yesterday. Even found a couple of hill side ag strips to play PNG driver on.....without the weather/loads/DA/locals of course.
Was every bit as good as i'd hoped. Great machine and exactly what flying is about! A greased 3 pointer onto a seriously uphill strip and later a couple of nice wheelers still bring a great big smile to my face. :ok: We won't mention the swinging and bouncing of earlier in the day though...... :bored: All i can think now is ''give me more hours - i want to try this, i want to try that'' http://i85.photobucket.com/albums/k4...e/P8140216.jpg |

In reply to an earlier post I think the other jump aircraft in this picture is VH-DJU possibly being flown by then owner Bill McVinish. The aircraft was repainted all black in the mid-eighties. A search in google suggests that the aircraft is no longer registered as VH-DJU now belongs to a newer aircraft. Blue Skies |
DJU went to NZ.

Re: poteroo's reply to WIZZ post 100
As I read your post the light went off. I owned a C-120 which was O-200 powered and had a Scott 3200 tail wheel no flaps of course and 8.50X6 tires. A real hodge podge to say the least. I could never three point comfortably and couldn't figure out why until you mentioned the flat attitude with a Scott tail wheel. In order to land with the tail high enough the speed was to much. To much speed, especially on asphalt or concrete, with the big tires was to frightening. On grass, gravel, sand, etc and short distances the speed was very low but the tail was too. It didn't seem to matter on skis. |

Your right, it's DJU and DGL and that photo was taken at Corowa. I can't remember the year, it would have been late '70s I think. Haven't got my log book handy. I'm in DGL. I think that was the year we put up a formation with I think it was 7-8 C180s and 185s. I've got a photo somewhere, it's a bit small taken from the ground. Corkey Great photo, looks pretty shmick, bloody sure I wouldn't let a Jumper near it now Frothy |
DJU
Still going strong... Look at the smile on his face! |
Wow - a lot different DJU to the battered machine I flew with STOL between 1966 and 1968. If I remember rightly it had a vernier lock throttle which took a little time to adjust to. It was the best of the bunch at STOL - but that's hardly a great recommendation. Pleased to see it's got a good home.
happy days, |
anyone know places around Victoria that train in 180/185 's?
|
vernier lock throttle |
Major Tom - Try Latrobe Valley Aero Club. That's who I borrowed DFO from. Thumbs up for Gerrard Lappin as an insructor also.
|
cheers dave, i saw DFO a while back when i was flying around the area. Thought it was privately owned though :S Anyway thanks, ill look into it :)
