kruza gyro for mustering??????

[aadc]

just want advise from those in the know how would a kruza go mustering ? keeping in mind i will be an inexperienced pilot but will always have a ground crew and it is mostly open country and the machine i buy needs to be a 2 seater

the cruza will be just fine ,but your in for a long haul ,it will take time ,just stick at it and you will make it .

how would a kruza go mustering ? Mustering?, very ineffective and dangerous.Spottn? [ over open country], no wurrys.Im not haven a dig at the Cruza, coz i recon the Cruza would be spoton, for cruisen.There are 2 distinct typs of arial cattle work, Spottn and mustern.Spotn is just that, spotn, with comunication to a ground crew, so you dont NEED to get below 200", or hang off the prop at 20" over sumthn you cant land on.A Cruza would be better than a FW for spotn only coz ruf air aint a bother, but you still cant see jac ****, just like a FW, but be much more efficiant than a heli.Iv mustered a few times in me wasa, and i can tell you, it aint safe or easy.Not easy/safe coz of the power/weight/responce of a heavy, cabed 2seater, and your not "in touch" with the air as you are in an open single. [ i know sumone who now would agree hole hartedly on the last point ]Mustern means your on your own, generaly over country where the cheeky ones hide, and you need to get up close n personal with sum of them. Not a good place to take a heavy 2seater.

Not a good place to take a heavy 2seater.Well said Birdy, and I happen to agree, even though I have never musterd before. A light open frame single seater with good power to weight and preferably CLT in design would give you excellent maneuverability and stability during low level operations.Safe flying Regards SamL..............

For spotting, you can use nearly anything you like however, I"m pretty sure that the temptation to get down lower will occur sooner than later and while the Kruza has impressive power figures, down low can bring
