Hey there Marco!
Have you heard from Jungle Bob?
when I heard about the Air travel Mysteries and now trajedies in that part of the world, my heart sank...

Wow Kahn
A sight and reasoning for sore eyes and ears

Hey pt....philly.....the rest of the boys.heard from jb late last year I think...he's still doing his thing based in Borneo as far as I'm aware. I've been working at the top of the western Australian desert for the last year and a bit after the film industry went kinda tits up for a bit. Still live in nz and do the fly in fly out thing....ha....cruel twist....I get stuck in a plank twice every six weeks .....amazing how much the thrill of international air travel wears off. Managed to smuggle 1 of those little v911's up with me but don't get much chance to fly it.....
Got a baby due mid march ....heh heh heh. Goddamned sick of red dirt....money's to good to turn down at this stage.
Jason....the highjack used to be somewhat of an art form on this forum awhile back. We also perfected the lowjack,sidejack,frontjack and backjack

I still have shitloads of parts at home for the plastic and cf hurri frames.....if anyone ever gets seriously stuck pm me(it may not be a quick reply and I won't be able to do anything till I rotate home again.....but I should be able to help)

Mike.....if you love something set it free.if it doesn't come back hunt it down and kill it
However if a high powered silenced rifle with a night scope is beyond your reach you could also try a stormy night....a bloody long extension lead......and an bloody big electric chainsaw
(Quiet....sneaky....cue innocent whistling ) Or a battery drill with a big auger,a litre ...or pint or whatever the hell you poms measure fluid with these days....of round up poured into the cold heart of that bastard tree.....then cover the hole with mud and let nature....or to be more precise chemical warfare take its course....

Best forum ever....Marco

I haven't checked the tree recently (they stuck up fencing all around) but I'll sneak up for a look around soon - I'm sure nothing will be worth saving, but might be fun to try

[PhillyD]

Ok this is the lowjack

Mike.....if you love something set it free.if it doesn't come back hunt it down and kill it
Congrats on the baby. You found time to make that...now you will lose more time...no more flying for you..maybe only Flying Uncle Charlie Kite. I hope it is indecipherable.LMAO

The 425 shaft I got from a kit was bent as well. Finally ended up using a solid X5 shaft
upside down as-is. The hole spacing is the same but it only extends about 1/2" into the
head but since I am not doing 3D its OK.

Added some carbon fiber rods and extended the canopy mount through the fuse which
reduced the vibes. Finally got it in the air.

Excellant! Looks SHARP!

And this was the icing on the cake for this project.
