Considering Super Koala

Postby mustfly » Sat Oct 19, 2013 7:07 pm

Can anyone tell me any information regarding a super koala, wooden frame?
I have no tail dragger experience and i am considering this aircraft to enter in the world of the dark art of tail dragging. I currently fly C182

Any info welcome,
Thanks

vhpy Super Koala is a good choice to start a Taildragger rating on, a nice docile aircraft which does not have "biting " tendencies (^^)

At the risk of sounding lazy, because I dont want to type it out all again, take a look at my post in the For Sale section under Super Swallow.

You are welcome to PM me for more info.

Just this,.......they can last longer than metal aircraft when properly looked after. Also to remember, wood does not build up stress the way metal does.
Hangar it, dont wash it with running water , look after it and you will long enjoy it :wink: :lol:
