Here are a few photos taken since last weekend.
Have had some nice weather here this weekend and landing on riverbeds in the Pacer was very cool.
Will post more photos of that flying later on.

Have added a few ground based shots that have been taken this week as well.

Love that last shot! Wow

Gavin into cartoons .. Hells the real thing BSH .. Alister,s choice , Smack on

good to see Craig's super pacer up and flying with her new engine!

Those are spectacular Gavin !!

Awesome Shots gavin!
Particulary liked those of the Pie Chaser
You didn't happen to be on the ground at Willies Strip around 1230 on Sunday?
I flew past a few times in a 172, the pacer and the cub were on the ground, along with a few people...

Awesome shots ya got there Gavin...(as always) .
I'd love to know how much drag those tyres add to the Pacer

Great pics

yeah they are big! i think for a set the tyres cost around $4000?

Great photos Gavin, that last one especially is amazing, but really they are all stunners.

With the new engine it climbs really well.
I saw it at over 1000 ft before the end of vector 30 the other day so great performance there.

The F27 was a right place at the right time.
I dont have many photos of it but will dig some out some time.

That would have been us and yes we did see you as well.
We were just gearing up to head down to the Goulter River and got some very neat photos and had a lot of fun.
A story will be published in Av News next month and will be worth a read.
Will post some pics after that.

Would be a good amount of drag but the extra 30 hp or so more than makes up for it. The aircraft is such a performer now.
We finished taking photos at the Domes, and let Craig know we were finished and we were dragged off in a Cub doing 90 knots.

Thanks.
The Friendship was fine.
Just a bit too much fuel during the start up but mad for an interesting photo.

...

Have just added a folder of photos of the Sigma to my website.
Wasnt too sure about the aircraft when I first saw it but it does look like a lot of fun.

If you took away the wings and tail assembly it would look like on of those covered scooters.

Real , a Cub without cartoon tires ! , Super

You might think they look like cartoon tires but they have a real purpose that will be seen very soon.
It is a great performer that can go places that most others cant.
They are large but boy do they perform well.

Indeed , seen many Alaskan Utube videos , i keep thinking off movie , a B17 ball turret gunner gets trapped .. obviously a Disney production , a cartoonist draws himself out of trouble
