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

Hi daar!

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.

Jacques
