I'm looking for another WA landy owner to share the maintenance and flying of my Airborne weightshift aircraft.
It's hangered in Bunbury but is totally mobile. My trailer is custom-made to fit the 'plane and has Land Rover wheels and the same track as my Defender. Load up and off you go with 'plane in tow to fly from private fields and airfields just about anywhere outside controlled airspace.
I've been out of action for over two years after breaking a wrist, a hand and a thumb in separate accidents (no, not flying - first I was hit by a scooter in Bali, then I broke my hand defending my dog agains two big mastiffs and then I twisted my thumb behind the trigger while paintballing with my son!) My doc says I'm ready to get back in the air now and I'd like to find someone to share the maintenance and help clock up some flying hours.
I do most of the maintenance myself under supervision of our CFI but the plane is a bit untidy after two years in the hanger and needs a few days' stripping and cleaning as I like it to be in 100% condition inside and out before use.
Securely hangered at Bunbury airport but can be towed anywhere and easily fits into a single garage. Never had any mechanical issues. Makes a fantastic camera platform with the overhead wing and low airspeed.
You'll need a weight shift pilot's licence (there are two excellent instructors living in Bunbury).
Pm me with your phone number for more details or to arrange a trial flight.
