Blimey. Eight years ago according to the posted date. Haven't watched this video for quite a while, but enjoyed the trip down memory lane. Thanks for watching.
Hey Marty. Thing is, there was only one of the turbines going. A fault with the controller for the other one left it dead. Not a bad effort for only one though. It is one of many projects the owner has, which will one day make it to the top of the heap again and hopefully I'll be there with a camera when it does 👍 Love your channel mate, as half the world does. Cheers Pete'.
Just heard CNA going to Foxpine now, if you are coming back south come inland to Manakau Levin and will get some ground to air shots of you. facebook.com/ZKaviation/
Liked your vids. Your long flight to pick up the D-18 in particular. I recently noted that your Cougar is for sale. "Interest has moved on from flying". Base Jumping?
I very much doubt it! The heart of the D9 and such is the one piece spar. Splice repairs can be done, but don't know if this is possible at the centre section. Head over to the Jodel forum and put your question to the gurus there.
Yes, having done the flying thing for 15+ years, it's time to move on. Selling the Cougar (www.trademe.co.nz/motors/aircraft/aircraft/auction-1274990491.htm) to get a camper van. At least these aren't weather dependent :-) Still keep the licence though, and if the urge to fly happens, there is the club Rans to use. Happy flying!
Has a Subaru EA-81 with a wizzy cam and shaved block. When I had it, it was direct drive. The new owner fitted a redrive to swing a larger prop with the help of the bloke who built the D9 I was delivering in this video. The re drive made a BIG difference to take off length and climb.
Nick Hobart Hi Nick. So far I've done 2.6hrs including the rating and the trip back from Blenheim. Weather and time haven't coincided, plus been out of action for a few weeks with a minor op' but with luck, next couple of weeks should see some air time.
Nick Hobart What program do you use for your videos Nick? Getting picture in picture would be handy, but can't find that option on MovieMaker. Cheers Pete'.
@HlSCORE G'Day Peter & Liam. Should have thought about it at the time and got you to pop over to the other side where the light would have been better. Oh well, next time :-) Address is coastal.c@xtra.co.nz Always keen on Jodel pictures. Cheers Pete'.
