Xmas has
come early - the new trike has
arrived !!!! Its an Airborne XT-912 Tourer with the latest SST
(strutted wing). Its got the disc brake option, a touring screen and
its not yellow ;-)
Unfortunately the weather was too grim
to fly it back so we had to trailer it - thanks to the Airborne team
for helping wrap it up, Chris for the loan of the van, Jules
for
helping drive it back (apart from the roundabout incident !) and Neil
for his assistance rigging it .

14 March
More than
a year after he sold his Edge, Neil
Schaefer has rejoined the ranks of trike owners by purchasing
Edge XT582 Cruze 32-4582 from Ian Wilkie & Ivor
Harper.
This plane was originally owned by Derek Tremain &
Chris
Pfeiffer and has been based at Caboolture since new. It is no stranger
to decent sized cross country flights as it was flown back to
Caboolture from the factory and has also made the trip to Natfly at
Narromine where it was awarded the "Best Trike" trophy.
Hopefully
Neil is planning to continue this worthy tradition with a few trips of
his own.
"I
had always wanted an adventurous life. It took me a long time to
realise that I was the only one who was going to make an adventurous
life happen to me". Richard Bach
