Change BBZ to Christchurch please

[Dave Homewood]

Is your Auster no longer at Rangiora Baz?

Well technically the aeroplane is but its registered to me in Christchurch.

Oh and I have the wings from CYQ so possibly the J5F fuselage still with Paul Morrison may be CYQ. I'll email him and ask plus see if he can update that list at all.

[raymond]

Another amendment

ZK-AUO is currently in storage in a Garage in Waikanae, that was stated in April 2012

[agalbraith]

Oh, and BQL under rebuild in Nelson

[baz62]

Gee this thread has become a real Auster thread considering the first post was about BBZ's logbooks. No complaints from me, some interesting photos coming to light.

[baz62]

I sent the list of Austers to New Zealand's Mr Auster Paul Morrison and he has edited some (not all) of the information. I've made some edits also

Oh yes thanks mate I've added it to the list.

[TS]

Soooo have any more spare parts gravitated to a certain airframe lately?

[Peter Lewis]

The Terrier was last registered to Mr Rhodes, but does not appear to be at his Wanaka site.

I have it last seen at Mandeville - perhaps Ryan can clarify.

It moved from there to Christchurch, now owned by Ray Drury. Suspended in his private car museum in Halswell, Anthony has managed to secure a few "spare parts" from this terrier which is basically a civilian version of the military MK 6 which is in turn a close relation of the T7. I think I'm right in saying that the T7 was the trainer version of the MK 6 (as it only had controls on one side).

[agalbraith]

Yep, Baz is correct. Ray Drury is the owner now. Was going to fly but turned out to be cost prohibitive and now is suspended from the roof of his private collection of cars. WE542 was built as a T7 and was civilianized by Beagle Aircraft...stripped, and many civil mods made. If you know where to look you can see her T7 lineage in areas.

Unfortunately very very few T7's survive in original form, hence the need for me to undertake an accurate full stock military rebuild as mine has never been 'civilianized'. But does prove very challenging locating all the correct equipment etc!

[baronbeeza]

Dave says a Cessna is Cessna, you know.... 3 wheels, a top wing and boring. And all look the same.

Is there a difference with Austers ?
They sound like Cessnas to me.
Have we had an idiots guide published here before ?

We all know BRA is a J/5F.
I think the number is the decades it takes to rebuild.

Am I close ?

With the Cessnas it is the dollar value of the standing costs per week. A very straightforward system.

Same with the Dash number on the Pipers, PA32-300, PA28-140, PA38-112.
Very easy for the first time buyer, I do a lot of pre-buy inspections and many people are not aware of how easy it is.
The Tomahawk at $112 per week is outstanding value.

[agalbraith]

Haha I hope that is not true as a T7 means I am in for the long haul....or Cameron is!!

Indeed the Auster family line is an interesting one and it took a while for me to get my head around all the variants....
