Good Grief what an ugly aircraft!
Well I'd fly it - Sir Rod - 11.08.2008
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
I'd give my eye teeth to strap that thing on my ass and give it a go.
All aircraft are beutiful. Just that some are more beautiful then others, thats all. :lol:
and remember a boomerang the dosen't come back .......
is just a stick.
Appreciat all the good work guys - most impressive.
Thank you
Rod

+1 Sir Rod! Your words are all too true!
I prefer not to see an aircraft is ugly, but rather "practical".

Effectively that is what the CAC Kangaroo is.
There is a Kangaroo in the works, but, as you might have gleamed from the comments between Leigh and myself, the Boomerang has superseded it in priority. I will be helping Leigh very closely to produce this aircraft as high a quality as we can, and as quickly as we can.

You don't live out that way, do you? The photo in my sig was taken on the Temora airfield during this years national comps.
Hey Brophmeister I used to live there for a couple of years before joining Defence, now at Wagga. Was at Temora flying day when they had the forward spotters convention there.

Awesome! I was down there in January for the international gliding comps. I didn't actually take part in the comps myself, I was just there to do my cross country and duration flights for my silver C.
Funny story: on the fourth day I was there there were these ominous black clouds on the horizon. "No probs" I thought, should be OK for at least a couple of hours.
I flew out to Wyalong, turned around and nearly shat myself at these huge mofos that were right over the top of me! Pulled airbrakes and outlanded at West Wyalong domestic, only to find the whole place surrounded by a locked cyclone fence with nobody around. The place was abandoned!
There was an unpleasant few hours in the rain and dust sitting on the wing to make sure the damned thing didn't flip upside down.
*ahem* Sorry for thread hijack. On topic now, I swear...
