Fisher KOALA
Hi,
Does anybody have some information or personal experience with building and flying Fisher Koala's? Preferably the two seater version.
I would like to know pros, cons, engine types, performance data, modifications to the aircraft, ground handling, ease of landings, etc.
Regards

Re: Fisher KOALA
Hi all,
I finally got to buy this aircraft... Now it is just to get the wings fitted, a thorough check through the aerie and off course get an ATF. I will post some oics when she is ready.

Re: Fisher KOALA
Hi there,
I am currently busy to go through the aircraft to see if everything is OK. We start the engine for the first time today, and man, does she sound beautiful or what...!
I will post some pics as we progress.
Regards

Hi NevermindZA , i can tell you the other SMALL detail........i see down elevator on your beauty

. Since that experience i always hook the passenger belt over the stick

Dankie vir die comment. Ek gaan als stadig deur om seker te maak als is fine. Sal seker volgende week die vlerke opsit. (Kan nie die naweek nie... Die ouens vlieg Kobie T toe vir 'n breakfast!)
Ek is bly dat jy die opmerking gemaak het van die down elevator. Mishaps gebeur baie vinniger as wat ons dink... Gelukkig knyp ek die stokkie tussen die bene vas wanneer die enjin draai... Johan F het my mooi daarop attent gemaak!
Groete.
