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.

.................and no photo of the Retard Vehicle on its refuelling stop :=

I'm still chasing the NATFLY award results. Any help?

I heard that this Lucilia cuprina took out "Best Presented Fly"!

wot.........no X-Airs?:eek:

I saw one.........

And some fecker in a Gyro cutting me off as I departed, but you get that I suppose!

poor MEL CEN was having a hard time of it.......and that was just the ones he could see! :eek:

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":oh:)...

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. :ok:

which -10 was that?

J:ok:

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.:ok:

Were they G1000's or Dynon's ?

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....

Stiky...
:ok:

Why do people need two GPS's?:ooh:

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.
