Hi Guys, I am the new owner of Davem's T18, by a stroke of luck I met Dave at Yolo County Airport and now find myself the owner of N18GR. Hoping it will be in Melbourne Australia in 3 weeks - can't wait. I have always had a soft spot for the ThorpT18 . Dave has done all the hard work and I look forward to many hours of enjoyment flying around Victoria and the rest of Australia. I have spent many hours reading this excellent site and it confirms my decision was correct to buy a Thorp. Value for money and performance is outstanding I think. I am also restoring a Bellanca Cruisair which I have owned for many years which flew to Australia in 1990 as part of a world vintage air rally from England to Australia. It is a long term project. They are also lovely aircraft to fly, but require constant love and attention. The Thorp will be a great little cross country machine. Looking forward to catching up with some of the other Aussie Thorps. New Aus rego - VH VBF regards Bernie |

Bernie, As a new T-18 owner myself, I feel a need to add something here. I bought a 1984 completed T-18, with only 267 total time. all log book entries were complimentary and everything looked grand, including what a saw as I did the condition inspection. I did the first flight solo. No one seemed very interested, or available to fly a plane that had sat 9 years. I did manage the first flight ok, tho- with a huge grin at the end and an adrenaline rush that Lasted nearly 2 hours! I experienced a wicked stall with left wing drop during my first flight's air work. Looking back, I am beginning to think that the 9 year sit, in a hangar with an other plane, might have resulted in the left wing leading edge getting a bit of a squeeze when it was moved around. If your ship is being disassembled and shipped to you, then I respectfully submit that the handling enroute may effect the handling of the plane in the air! All is good with 883FF now, but for you, I just want to add that a bit of experience with this kind of plane, or some help from someone who has it is very worthwhile, I'm sure I would have been better off. As for a T-18, I looked right past them to build an RV-8. What a mistake. RV's are fine too, but our T-18 is smooth riding, great handling and very efficient on only 135 HP. You will love yours, I'm sure. I was drawn to answer your post when I saw you own a Bellanca, as I have one too. What a great plane. I fly the T -18 more! |
