Maiden
Flight for 19-3670 over Caboolture
Airport.
At 10:15am on the 3rd October 2002 the first Australian constructed BushCaddy has made its maiden flight from Caboolture airport. The 19-3670 has taken 19 months and 1152 hours to construct but the feeling of exhilaration in accomplishing such a project was rewarded when it lifted into the sky and handled perfectly. Follow the test flight data to see how it performs. A view of Caboolture airport and city from the cabin at 2000ft as I performed control checks before its first landing on the grass strip.
