@iancaesar427 that was the second time time I did the bungees. First time I had help. Recently two mates did the bungees on their Beagle Terrier. They had it all done in a few hours - not bad for a couple of blokes who’d never done Auster Bungees before.

@@AusterJ4 I've seen the tool you can hire to do the job and the whole thing looked like a pain. Mine are not in despirate need of changing but getting there. The idea of an engine hoist is genius.

Is it by any chance a Scott 3200 as a tail wheel? Is there an STC to mount it on the Aeronca Chief since it's not the original wheel? Thanks in advance!

Hi Andrea, yes that is a Scott 3200. Sorry I don’t know whether an STC for the Scott 3200 on the Chief exists.

Wind pretty much straight down the runway at T.O., slightly left but definitely gusty on landing, saw no wind direction aileron positioning during taxi. Thanx for nice vid

I can see the fires from my house and I live in the Sydney CBD (16th floor) we are so Donald Ducked, this is Australia's 911 and when it is all over it will look like New York on the morning after.

Thank you Rohit Ghosh. Each days image was downloaded from the NASA FIRMS website, (check the description for links), a transparent background overlay gives the major place names. All the images were then turned into a video using iMovie. The month at a time views at the end are also downloaded from FIRMS, Except the full September to December image which was edited by hand in GIMP.

Fantastic to know that CRR is partly responsible for you learning to fly. I was lucky enough to buy CRR from Eric’s estate. Eric bought CRR before I was born and owned and flew it for over 40 years. I would love to know more about your experiences with Eric and CRR.
