Ultralight crash, An extremely high level of responsibility is attached to the right to fly.

I agree. Open cockpit is my favourite too :-). The East coast of Tassie is fantastic. I've been very fortunate and have quite a few flying hrs down there instructing 👍

nice straight string on that too. I can't get that when I fly in a cabin every 2 years for my BFR. give me open frame any day .

I think crossing Bass Strait in a gyro would take a huge set of kahunas, mind you doing it in someone else's aircraft helps.

Very happy to see this come into view! :-)

Yeah, true Rick but you definitely wont see a Bass straight crossing on my CV . 20 years ago I would have but not today !

Good that I checked the Regs first for gyros 👍

A Bass Strait crossing would look good on any gyro pilots CV Jeff b😜

A pioneering aviation spirit perhaps and indefinably very misplaced faith in the two stroke rotax .

Taking a passenger along could be seen to stretching the boundary on wisdom.

See this article about a guy who crashed in Bass Straight, at the time of the crash, Hector held a pilot's certificate - and not a pilot's licence - which only permitted him to fly less than 25 nautical miles from his departure point.
