JG's Flying Adventures - Australian Outback 2007- 2011
In Sep ’07 - I Bought a Rans S-7. I was looking for the best ‘bush’ plane, so bought this tail-dragger Rans S-7, but found that I liked the Savannah much better for ‘bush’ flying. Story here https://www.stolspeed.com/rans-s7
May ’08 - Sold the Rans S-7 and ferried it to Perth S-7 to Perth.
Site marked out for a nuclear bomb test at Maralinga.
Jul ’08 Flight to the Camel Cup at Marree, SA.
Didn't look like the camels were so interested in racing....
Jul ’08 - Trip to Oshkosh, USA.
I had sent Stolspeed VGs to the Zenith company to test, but they never replied.
So it was interesting to see they had used them on the 701 horiz stab of their display 701! They admitted that the VGs worked on the main wing as well,
But they stated that they were keeping their slats because "Slats sold well"....
Apr ’09 - Stolspeed VGs business thriving worldwide and now carried by Aircraft Spruce in USA..
May ’09 - Flight to the Nullarbor and return coastal
Cliffs along the Nullarbor
May ’11 - Flight to the Kimberlies and Pilbara
