22.01.2022 Successful flight of the Bushcat that was built in 7 days by a team of 25 high school kids - watch this space to see if youll be the proud new owner. Registration 19-2209 (22 September 2019)

22.01.2022 Loads of interesting aircraft on display here at AusFly. Make sure you check these ones out!

21.01.2022 Finishing touches by Scott Dawson, looking great!

20.01.2022 Errol will talk about the versatility of the Bushcat at 10am, Room 3, Airventure Parkes

20.01.2022 Morning started with final inspections but then the weather took a turn for the worst... We all evacuated the site. The good news however, were still on track. Will keep you posted

19.01.2022 As test pilot James Weightman taxied the blue and black light-sport aircraft onto Runway 22 at Parkes Regional Airport, spectators watched on befuddled as a lar...ge group of students in high-vis shirts ran towards the runway with red dust trailing behind them. Wiping his sweaty palms across dirty jeans one more time, Weightman radioed the control tower for runway clearance before opening the throttle to full power. BushCat 2209 effortlessly lifted off the runway a mission accomplished for the 25 students whose efforts over the previous week had led to this moment on Sunday, September 22 2019. https://australianaviation.com.au//taking-to-the-skies-ho/

18.01.2022 Next generation Bushcat Pilot

18.01.2022 Here’s one for the Bushcat.

18.01.2022 Congratulations to Gary Thomas and James Weightman on the building of this Bushcat taking to the skies. James is conducting the very first flight here. The Bushcat family is growing

18.01.2022 Budding pilots, aviation enthusiasts and future aeronautical engineers are flocking to Parkes for the Airventure Australia show.

18.01.2022 Parkes Airshow Bushcat build: This beautifull brand new Bushcat was build during the Parkes Airshow, and as the organisers of the Airshow could not pay Bushcat Australia for the aircraft as agreed we have decided to sell it at the discounted price of only 60 000 Aud plus GST. However, in order to qualify for this 30 % discounted price, you need to prove that you bought a Ticket to the Airventure show ( basically, you need to prove you bought a ticket to be in the draw). If we... do have multiple interested parties, your names will be entered into a draw overseen by Tim Howes, of Bushflyers Downunder. The draw will then take place on the weekend of the Big Muster ( last week in April 2020). This may be your chance to still own this Bushcat at a great price. If you are elligable to participate in this draw, and comitted to pay the discounted price, then please email your details ( and proof of ticket): [email protected] by latest 30/03/2020. See more

17.01.2022 The maiden flight of the Bushcat, built in 7 days by 25 high school kids. Well done!

16.01.2022 Peter John’s Bushcat with the new Empennage, looking really good. The new design improves directional stability, and heaps more elevator control, especially where you need it most: Slow, nose high approach for that super short off airport landings. The elevator trim is now larger, ensuring hands off flying no matter how you load your aircraft. Contact us to experience this very capable Bush Aircraft. www.gap.aero

15.01.2022 Check out the December issue of EAAs Sport Aviation Magazine and the 8-page article on the #BushCat Light Sport Aircraft. Here is the link to the digital copy...: https://sportaviation.mydigitalpublication.com/publication/ (a few minor errors in the article, but overall a great representation of this amazing aircraft!)

15.01.2022 Heres one for the Bushcat.

15.01.2022 All over the world!

15.01.2022 Bushcat Aircraft on display at Evans Head. This aircraft is what Bush Flying is all about. Come visit us and see how affordable flying can be!

13.01.2022 Don Townsend of Coffs Harbour is the new owner of a very special one of a kind Bushcat Aircraft. We wish him many happy flying hours to come.

12.01.2022 Bushcat flying in all types of weather conditions

12.01.2022 Another exciting day, parents visiting and inspecting the work, stickers are on, windscreen fitted, avionics nearly finished... looking forward d to tomorrow!

09.01.2022 BushCat build shenanigans

09.01.2022 If once normality returns, SkyReach were to organise a 2 week epic self-fly safari around South Africa and we had BushCat aircraft for rent, who of our overseas BushCat owners would be interested in joining us? You would obviously need to hop on an airliner to Johannesburg where we would spend around 3 days sorting out license validations and general admin and then set out in loose formation. Generally such a trip comprises of: ... 2 to 5 hours flying each day Under wing camping (for those happy to rough it) Breathtaking scenery Gin n Tonics at sun set Big 5 Game viewing Campfire camaraderie (and a few more Gin n Tonics) And a whole lot more.

07.01.2022 And another Bushcat is flying in Australia!... Gary Thomas taking delivery of his Bushcat. Congratulations, and welcome to our flying family of Bushcats!

06.01.2022 Day 3 - love these kids! Engine fitted, wingtips on, interior on its way... Another hard day, but no slowing down on enthusiasm and hard work.

06.01.2022 Bushcat 7 day build: James flew the aircraft back from Parkes to Heck Field Airport. Glad to say all went well, and apart from a couple of minor adjustments we should be able to obtain a Certificate of Airworthines within nxt two or three weeks. We averaged about 95 knts all the way back, and this was a great end to an unforgettable experience, not only for us, but also for the 25 kids who build this aircraft in such a short time.

05.01.2022 Today our beloved Bushcat left for her new home in Coffs Harbour... we wish you blue skies and safe flying... youll always be loved

04.01.2022 The Bushcat attracted a lot of interest at The Great Eastern fly-in at Evanshead again. Visitors from another galaxy was quite impressed

03.01.2022 Keep Calm and Build a #BushCat. We are isolating ourselves in our hangar trying to just keep busy. We started the first 15 sections of our customers new Bus...hCat. As we are waiting on his custom covers from the factory, we are going to have to get a little creative about what we can get ahead on. Stay tuned for further progress. We have a feeling #BushCatTom will soon have another Vlog out of this build progress . See more
