22.01.2022 Team EdiFlyers continue to make fantastic progress on the Van’s Aircraft RV-12IS The lower Fuselage is now finished and the students will now focus on installing the fuel systems and flight control systems.

21.01.2022 The Flight Youth Engineering (FYE) initiative will be based at the Redcliffe Airport and will be launched in February 2020. Mueller College and St Columbans C...ollege will be among the first schools to participate in this exciting project. FYE is a not-for-profit organisation which focuses on Aerospace careers and employment by engaging and motivating high school students. After participating in this project over a 2-year period the students will have built an aircraft and have gained their pilots licence - imagine that at the top of your Resume on leaving Year 12. Redcliffe Airport is an important asset to our community and a number of community projects and services operate out of our Airport. FYE lays the groundwork for a sustainable future in an industry that delivers so much economic benefit to the Moreton Bay region and the Aviation Community at large. http://FYE.ORG.au

20.01.2022 Have a look at this great article from AOPA america demonstrating the great features of the Vans RV12 https://www.aopa.org//al/2020/august/pilot/it-grows-on-you

19.01.2022 After a long wait we have finally broken ground. Today signifies the day that an entire Van's RV-12is aircraft will be built in an Australian High school. The Students at St Columban's college http://www.stc.qld.edu.au/Pages/default.aspx have begun their Aircraft build. We at Flight Youth Engineering are loving their new uniforms this is going to be a fun and rewarding experience for both Students and Mentors alike. #flightchallenge #flighttraining #brisbane #studentlife #students #aircraftmaintenanceengineer #aircrafttechnician

17.01.2022 Thanks to the generous support of SAAA Chapter 15 Archerfield who provided us with our very first donation at their December meeting last year. These funds will go towards supporting our very first secondary school based project.

17.01.2022 It has been a very full couple of months for the students of Flight Youth engineering, Two of our students have been doing industry placement with some local Aviation based Companies. A big thank you to Greg and the team at Suncoast Aero Engines where Cameron has had a couple of great days stripping down Lycoming IO-390A Aircraft Engines.... This engine will be going back into a Vans Aircraft RV-14A that Cameron is helping rebuild. https://www.suncoastaeroengines.com.au This hands on experience with professional mentors is priceless for the development of the next generation of Aircraft Engineers.

16.01.2022 St. Columbans college has just completed fundrasing for the tail section of their aircraft and will begin construction soon. We still need your help for the Fuselage and wings please help by donating through our web page. http://raddish.ttecs.com.au/?page_id=415... http://www.stc.qld.edu.au/Pages/default.aspx

13.01.2022 Ever wondered how an aircraft is treated for corrosion? Ediflyers have just finished the lower sub section of the fuselage of their RV-12IS. All components were treated with Alodine 1200 which is a chemical conversion of the outer layer of the Alclad skin. Alodine is a chemical treatment of aluminum to prevent corrosion, it is electrically conductive and can be used as a primer for layers of paint. It does not add weight or changes dimensions of the part that is being treated..., where as paint does. ... The exterior skins have then been coated with Axalta Corrosion Resistant Epoxy Primer. The treatment was completed thanks to the assistance of the very talented team at Flinders Aviation. A big thank you to Mick and Loretta Kelly for your support of this youth project. At Flight Youth Engineering we inspire all our students to have a pride in what they are constructing as such their aircraft are treated with the best options currently available to ensure that the aircraft keeps flying well into the future.

12.01.2022 The second build day for SCA (St. Columbans Aeroclub) with FYE (Flight Youth Engineering). We are getting close to finishing out training kits. These kits are great exposure to Aviation Grade tooling and materials. From the smiles from both Students and Mentors you can see we are all having great fun. A big Thank you to our sponsors for enabling this to happen. #aircraftmaintenanceengineer #flightchallenge #flighttraining #students #aircrafttechnician #brisbane #studentlife #aircraft #kitaircraft #snapontools

12.01.2022 St. Columbans College build update. Our 4th session sees the students well in to the construction of their training tool kits. These kits use a mixture of tools and techniques that will be used in the construction of the aircraft. The Students are super keen with Mentors trying to slow them down to accurately perfect the techniques. #student #studentlife #flightchallenge #kitaircraft #aircraftmaintenanceengineer #flighttraining #aircraft #brisbane #snapontools #students #aircrafttechnician #vansaircraft #QBEinsurance #bursontools #RedcliffeAeroClub

09.01.2022 Meanwhile another of our students has been receiving instruction from the talented team of Flinders Aviation. https://flindersaviation.com.au/ A big thank-you to Michael and Loretta Kelly !... Daniel has been busy prepping and painting brand new aircraft skins for a Vans Aircraft RV-14A that the students are helping re-build.

09.01.2022 The donate here button is coming soon, if you would like to help support us please donate here http://raddish.ttecs.com.au/?page_id=20

08.01.2022 Wow what a fantastic night. Van's toolbox training kits are finished and it just got serious. The St. Columbans college students have started building a real flying passenger carrying aeroplane. Construction of the vertical stabilizer, the AST (anti servo tabs) and Rudder has begun with the first holes drilled. There is no stopping these students now.... #bursontools #RedcliffeAeroClub #studentlife #bobtait #flightchallenge #kitaircraft #QBEinsurance #vansaircraft #aircraftmaintenanceengineer #students #aircraft #Axalta #brisbanerefinish #flindersaviation

08.01.2022 Covid19 may have slowed us down but the excitement of todays youth cannot be contained. The Team Ediflyers have continued to operate with split teams as per Government requirements and have just completed the Tailcone Section of their RV-12IS build. Well done guys, onto the fuselage this week!

08.01.2022 Team EdiFlyers progress, https://fye.org.au/?page_id=447 The RV-12IS is progressing well with the students finishing last week the lower sub fuselage assembly.... This was a challenging section with the students knowledge growing with the tasks at hand. It’s on to the Fuel Systems and Controls Systems next, another complex section where the students will learn may new skills. See more

04.01.2022 Our students from Team Ediflyers are back from holidays and back into building mode. Great progress on the Fuselage with the side skins being finished off and soon to be riveted on. A big thank-you again to Flinders Aviation and Axalta Coating Systems for helping us prep and treat the side skins with Alodine and high grade primer. The Axalta products will ensure this aircraft is corrosion free for many years to come.... https://flindersaviation.com.au https://www.axalta.com/au/en_GB/aviation.html

01.01.2022 We at Flight youth engineering would like to share some exciting news. Snap-on Tools have delivered a roll cab tool box containing many of the tools required for St Columbans College students to begin the build of their aircraft. The first shipment from Vans Aircraft in Oregon, USA has arrived. This large box contains the training kits, the empennage (tail section), the complete aircraft plans and all the components required to successfully compete the empennage. Each stude...nt will complete three training kit projects which will help learn the skills required to build the Vans RV-12is Aircraft The ediflyers have just completed their empennage, check out their latest update at https://fye.org.au/?page_id=447 They now move onto the fuselage (body) of their aircraft. St Columbans have been busily preparing their hanger workshop area on their school grounds for this exciting project to begin. Stay safe, stay healthy, be kind and look after each other in these unusual circumstances we find ourselves in. As Australians we will arrive at the tail end of this crisis as quickly as it has begun leaving us stronger, wiser, better prepared and equipped for the future. See more
