Criag's new Kitfox across OZ
HI all. I am over in Perth about to pick up a friends new Kitfox 4 that he has just bought. I will fly it home to Mt Beauty this week and post a few pics if I get internet - a trip of about 1600nm across Australia. I plan to follow the coast across the Great Australian Bight and use roadhouses for fuel stops.
Craig will eventually appear here but is busy at the moment.
Cheers
Ross

Nice!
Where will this be kept?
Re: Criag's new Kitfox across OZ
I need to have words with your mate Craig :) I'm away at work overseas at the moment and don't get back home until later in the month, when I'd planned to go to Jandakot to check out his new toy and, almost certainly, exchange some $$s and fly it a much shorter distance to its new home in Bunbury (I had written to the owner, not just imagined that was what I was going to do). At least I know who got the jump on me and where I can find him :D
.......I know, snoozing and losing (but working really sucks) :(
She certainly does look like a great example and I hope you and Craig have fun and a successful time flying her.
Re: Criag's new Kitfox across OZ
Hi Jono - I was wondering how long it would take you to pick up on this! Same as yours I suspect - I am a roadhouse on the Nullabour - pics later. Craig has the hanger the other side of me. I wish I took a flew lessons from you before emarking - it is rather different to the 7!! Very twitchy on landing and brakes - nearly ground looped it on my first landing expecting to be equally docile to mine - learning - I guess you will be over on the 26th if not before?
HI PaullSS - Bugger! Bet you are not pleased! it flys well - I am at Caiguna now after going via Esperance - last hour was over the coast as its a bit bubpy in land - smooth as over the water and beautiful. Hope to catch up if you come over our way some time.

Hope the rest of your journey goes well and that the Nullarbor doesn't throw you any nasty surprises. The IV would have been nice but there's a lovely yellow 7 across the other side of country that interests me more. The owner's away at the moment as well so I hope he's got a decent padlock on her :D

Across the Great Australian Bight today. A few pics to give you idea of the isolation. All going well.
