< PreviousKiwiFlyer Magazine Issue 56 30 Ross Brodie is the youngest person we have interviewed for ‘Interesting Persons in Aviation’, but his aviation credentials are impressive. Just turned 18, Ross already has more type ratings than most pilots gain in a lifetime. That’s because he gained most of them the day he soloed, on his 16 th birthday. Ross is the extraordinary young man who made waves two years ago, soloing in 16 different type aircraft on his 16 th birthday flying from his family’s airfield on South Canterbury’s Rangitata Island. Ross has aviation in his blood. His great, great grandfather purchased the farm in 1895, but it wasn’t until 1917 that the aviation side of things started when great grandfather, Ross Brodie learnt to fly with the Canterbury Aviation Company at Wigram. He later served with the RFC and RAF in Egypt in 1918-1919. In the 1950s both Ross’ grandfather and grandmother Struan and Anne Brodie learnt to fly with the South Canterbury Aero Club and were quite successful at RNZAC competitions through the ’50s, ’60s and ’70s. Ross’ father Russell learnt to fly in the late ’70s and became involved in the microlight movement in the early 1980s. He soon became a microlight instructor. In 1992 he and a friend set up East Canterbury Aviation importing RANS Aircraft from the USA. These days Russell and Ross are still selling RANS Aircraft and offering microlight flight training with two RANS S-6s at Rangitata Island. Jill McCaw had a chat with Ross to find out more about those 16 solos and what he’s been doing since. Interesting People in Aviation - The Kiwi Flyer Interview contributed by Jill McCaw An interview with Ross Brodie I know it’s old news, but can we have a wee talk about those 16 type solos on your 16th birthday? What on earth gave you the idea? And what were the 16 types? I’m not sure anymore if it was mine or someone else’s. I’d seen something about someone else doing it somewhere, I don’t know where. A family friend said that 16 seemed like a good round number and so we gave it a bit of thought and decided it could be done and we’d give it a go. The aircraft were: RANS S-6ES 155, RANS S-6ES 116, RANS S-6ES 155 TD, Zenith CH-701, Bantam B-22, CFM Shadow, Jabiru J-160, Alpi Pioneer 200, De Havilland Tiger Moth, Tecnam Sierra, AESL Airtourer, Beagle Airedale, Cessna 150, RANS S-7, Druine Turbulent and Eipper Quicksilver. We tried to start about sunrise but low cloud and clag over the Canterbury Plains meant we didn’t get going until 6.30. We did two and then it clagged in again and we had to wait about an hour and a half before we could fly again. Then it cleared progressively through the day. I did the last flight about 6pm. How many months of preparation did it take to learn to fly all those different types? I’d already been flying the RANS, the Tiger and the Airtourer on and off. I’d actually started learning in the RANS when I was nine. We really only got into it in the last six months. Three of Ross gets underway on his 16th birthday in RANS S-6ES ZK-JHZ31 2018 #1 F K them, the Turbulent, the Bantam and the Shadow - that day was the first time I’d flown them. The Turbulent’s only got a single seat and the other two didn’t have enough usable fuel load to allow any training in them. Dad flew them though, and said they weren’t difficult and that I’d be fine. I did fly those ones early in the day, when I was fresh and not tired. You’re 18 now. There was talk of you gaining your CPL on your 18th birthday but I understand that didn’t happen. No, there was just too much involved that we couldn’t take control off. I will be finishing my commercial, but it’s better to do it properly and not cram all the exams in and rush it. So, you’re well on the way to your commercial. What else have you done since your spectacular 16 type solos? I’m a microlight instructor. I managed that seven months after I soloed. I’d learnt a lot of instructional techniques from Dad. I’ve got about 215 hours instructing and 560 hours total time. I did my PPL flight test on my 17th birthday and passed. I’ve got about 20, might be more, type ratings now, including gliders. I’ve been going to the Youth Soaring Development Camps. The main thing I really like is aerobatic competition flying. I’ve got two contests coming up. I’ll be flying the Airtourer for the Pam Collings Trophy - that’s in the recreations category, at the Flying NZ Nationals at Timaru. And I’ll also be flying in the NZ Aerobatic Club Nationals a bit later. I’ve been doing the routine for over a year now so there’s not much time needed to keep it sharp and current. However, it all comes down to the performance on the day. I’d like to move up a level, but that would involve a more capable aircraft. A Pitts would be ideal, but just something with more horsepower and penetration. A Robin can just do it. A lot of people fly RU7s and RU4s; they just have the extra inertia. I was lucky enough to be allowed to fly Brent Thompson’s RANS S10. It’s got a fully inverted capable engine and it was so great to just fly around upside down. I was really fortunate to be able to fly it. It would be a great contest aircraft. What’s your favourite aircraft to fly? I can’t really say. They’re all fun for different reasons. And you can’t say one is your favourite, because aircraft aren’t really inanimate objects and somehow… So if I said the Rans, then next time you went out to fly say, the Airtourer, it probably wouldn’t start. So I wouldn’t say it’s my favourite, but the one that puts the biggest smile on my face is the Tiger Moth. We’ve had her for just over 10 years and she’s beautiful. She’s got quite a history, but she’s never had any major accidents and she was never used for Ag, so she’s in really good nick. Have you had any epic flights? What stands out? I think the flight I’m most proud of was taking the old K7 glider to 10,000 feet in wave. Dad bought the K7 a while back. It’s a wood and fabric old training glider. It’s old and noisy and drafty. We were at Omarama with it and I wasn’t expecting to get over 5,000 feet. I was just wearing a tee shirt and shorts. The wind comes right through the tow hook hole and I was only wearing light canvas shoes. My feet were numb. But it was so exciting. What’s next? What is that CPL for? Well I don’t really have any commercial plans, it’s more something I’m doing for any future business. A friend who is like my mentor, suggested that as I’d probably want a commercial at some stage in the future, I was better to do it now, while I was used to school and study. I intend to operate a business out of the airfield here at Rangitata. I want to add to what I’m able to do. I’d like to get into restoration, especially of de Havilland aircraft, Tiger Moths and others. I want to get an apprenticeship or be supervised by an engineer. The sheds here hold lots of projects waiting to be restored and I could work through those. I’d like to make this place something like Mandeville or JEM Aviation - doing lots of restoration work while also offering flight training which we’re already doing - but make it bigger, maybe adding a 115 operation offering rides in the Tiger Moth. What else do you do for fun? Not much. I’m usually flying or working on aircraft. I have been playing around, manufacturing the Windy type Airspeed Indicator, the de Havilland designed indicator mounted on the port side wing of all Tigers, Gypsy Moth and even the Fox Moth and Dominee. It’s designed to make it easier for the pilot in a left- hand circuit. It’s very basic but it’s very accurate. It’s nice to make something. Good luck for the future Ross. It’s been great talking with you. “You can’t say one is your favourite, because aircraft aren’t really inanimate objects… so if I said the RANS, then next time you went out to fly say, the Airtourer, it probably wouldn’t start.” l Packed with Features Check them out on our website Stratomaster XTREME EFIS Compact, Cost Effective, and Simply Stunning ! 4.3” sunlight readable TFT LCD Fits std 3.1/8” panel hole (x-wide) AH, ASI, ALT, VSI, HDG, TC, etc. Engine info (EGT, CHT, OILT&P, FUEL, TACH, MAP, HOBBS etc) Mixed VFR analog (ASI, ALT, VSI) + engine info Mixed AH + flight + engine info Checklists GPS derived flightpath or true attitude (with external SP4 AHRS) l l l l l lLate last year NZ Warbirds took delivery of a replica Fokker Triplane. Frank Parker has been for a fly or two, of course: KiwiFlyer Magazine Issue 56 32 The Fokker Triplane NZ Warbirds’ new Fokker was supplied by Classic Aircraft Sales in Omaka and is an ‘Amateur Built Plans’ aircraft, similar in many respects to the current ‘Vintage Aviator’ aircraft which have been part of the airshow scene for a number of years. This example is powered by an Australian built Rotec radial engine with similar power to the original Oberursel rotary engine, but with much simpler handling and hopefully better reliability. The ‘Dreidecker’ was made famous by the ‘Red Baron’, Manfred von Richthofen, and is no doubt the most recognisable of WWI aircraft. It was noted for its performance and handling, a fact verified by Allied pilots after the War. There were a number of original aircraft preserved in Germany after WWI, however these were destroyed by bombing during WWII. Graham Orphan at the controls of NZ Warbirds’ latest acquisition, a Fokker Dr.I Dreidecker. This aircraft is in the livery of Joseph Jacobs, an Ace with 48 victories which made him No. 4 (equal with Werner Ross) among the German Aces. Joseph’s first flying posting was to a reconnaissance unit in July 1915. His first ‘official’ victory was flying a Fokker Eindecker in May 1916. He joined Jasta 7 in early 1918 flying Fokker Dr.I Dreideckers (Triplanes) and became the highest scoring Ace on type. The Triplane is a ‘treat’ to fly. It is light and nimble with a relatively sprightly performance. Its leading characteristic is a lack of stability, especially in yaw. To the modern ‘eye’ with its pug nose and stack of wings there is a lot of drag ‘up front’ and not a lot of tail surface at the rear. Accordingly it requires a bit of work on the tailplane to keep it balanced. This lack of stability was one of the aircraft’s assets in ‘Service’ which made it a nimble and manoeuvrable aircraft, just the ticket with a Sopwith on your tail. Flying the aircraft lives up to expectations. In the air: sprightly, nimble, Air Safaris image nice and light on the controls, a ‘fun’ machine. On the ground: another story. A fixed skid makes steering a challenge and precision manoeuvring requires wing walkers. Any pilot with Tiger Moth experience would feel comfortable in the ‘Fokker’, however once again I must say I admire the men who with minimal experience took these aircraft to war.

This has come to fruition and Warbirds are proud to announce our occupation of the previous Tecnam Hangar facility at Ardmore. This has been made possible by a group of investors purchasing the hangar and providing a long term lease to the Association. Following the purchase of ex Hawker Pacific hangar, this has cemented Warbirds’ position at Ardmore with an identifiable ‘Warbirds Precinct’ based on our clubrooms and the two hangars. The two hangars are complementary in location and will be used to house our expanding fleet. The new hangar is known as ‘1 Hangar’ and will become the home for our growing fleet of WWI aircraft. We currently have the BE.2 (previous articles) and the recent arrival the Fokker Triplane (at left). In the pipeline is a Bristol Fighter replica from Classic Aircraft Sales in Omaka (recent article in Classic Wings) for delivery in four or five months following rebuild and certification. Keeping these aircraft company are a number of vintage types: Tiger Moth, Stearman, Ryan PT-22, Ryan STM, Fox Moth and a WWI Ford Model T Ambulance on loan from the American Field Service group. Since taking charge of the building we have been busy on minor renovations, carpet upgrades and painting of the hangar floor. The Office annex of the building is currently tenanted, however, long term there is a consideration to develop this into Association administration and social facilities. With the classic aircraft ‘gathered’ from around the airfield and housed in 1 Hangar we have been able to redefine the aircraft exhibits in the ex-Hawker hangar (which you may have guessed will be known as 2 Hangar) to the WWII era and more modern types. These include the Skyhawk, Aermacchi, CAC Sabre, P-51 Mustang, P-40 Kittyhawk, Harvard, Beaver, Chippy, Yak-52 and Airtrainer, plus the occasional visitor. The Association has also retained the previous south-east apron hangar to provide a home for ‘over-flow’ Warbirds, currently a T-28 Trojan (on long term repair following a landing incident), Scottish Bulldog, 3 or 4 Harvards and a number of light aircraft which were previously in 1 and 2 Hangars. Thus we now have an established Warbirds area at Ardmore to build on and consolidate our presence for the future. We also have a unique collection of aircraft encompassing WWI, the ‘Golden Years’, WWII and the 1950s and ’60s. The unique aspect of this collection is that apart from the Jets in 2 Hangar, these aircraft are all airworthy and flown on a regular basis. With continued development NZ Warbirds aims to make our hangars and already established Visitors Centre a ‘must do’ on any aviation buff’s calendar. I invite you to come and take a look for yourself. If you like what you see then do join up as a member. Even better, sign up as a ‘Volunteer’ and be part of the Action. Great aircraft and facilities are only part of the story; it’s the people that add the life and character to the Association and we would like to see you involved.

Seventeen aircraft made the muster this year and were well outnumbered by club members, their families and quite a few interested visitors. Nearly half the field were Dominator types, three built from the same set of plans shared by their respective owners many years back, and the rest constructed by local agent Neil Hintz. The other nine aircraft present comprised seven different types. Needless to say it was a great weekend.

Did I say it was a great weekend ? It always is, and as many other aviators in similar clubs will attest, these gatherings are looked forward to with enthusiasm pretty much for the entire year. Albeit dominated by, well, Dominators, the wide range of gyro types now available in New Zealand was well represented. There were Xenons, MTO Sports, a Kallithea, Magni, ELA, and Cavalon, along with Paul Scherrer’s KB3 variant and Lloyd Fitzsimons’ hybrid Bensen. As well as good discussions on club activity and future plans, the AGM this year was also notable for generational reasons, with the election of Kirstin Belton to the committee - Kirsten being the daughter-in-law of long time club CFI Garry Belton. Trophies were awarded for Man & Machine (John O’Leary), Promotions (Brett Oswald), Best Annual Progress (Andrew Carter) and Furthest Flown (Hub Hall). The furthest flown award might have gone to David Wright and your KiwiFlyer Editor who set off together from Mercer on Saturday morning. However as President Bruce Anderson kindly pointed out during the prizegiving, “you only got half way”. That’s because at about the summit of the Desert Road, one of David’s prop blades flew away on its own somewhere. Proving how safe gyros are to land on unfavourable ground, the only (minor) damage to the aircraft was caused when we subsequently manhandled it onto a trailer following an eight hour rescue mission by our good friends at Dannevirke. Thanks heaps guys. As has become a tradition at Dannevirke, a Sunday fly-out was organised to Athol and Betty Sowry’s farm near Woodville. Hot drinks and some very good scones were much appreciated by all. The rest of the weekend was spent catching up with friends and flying around the field for fun, as you do.

Phil Craig and Athol Sowry were there and tell the story for KiwiFlyer readers: New Year’s Day Fly-in 2018 Since being established 12 years ago this fun event had always been hosted on the Athbey Farm airstrip near Woodville, by owners Athol and Betty Sowry. Last year Athol and Betty decided that instead of hosting the event on their airstrip every year, it should be moved around other venues across the lower North Island. Judging by the attendance and comments All the way from Rangiora and winner of the furthermost flown award, Philip Richards in his Thatcher CX4. following this year’s event, their decision has only served to add momentum to this popular annual aviation gathering.

Members of the Manawatu Aviation Club assisted the hosts with organisation, catering, and cleaning up - something the club also did at the previous Athbey Farm events. It was a great effort by the cooks and their helpers to feed us all so well! The prize for the furthermost travelled aircraft went to Philip Richards from Rangiora in his Thatcher CX4 ZK-JDY, with a flight time of a little over two hours. Also awarded prizes were Michael Fleming from Hastings in Piper Super Cub ZK-BPM, and Paul Scherrer of Upper Hutt who flew the only rotary wing aircraft seen on the airfield that day - his Paul Scherrer KB3 ZK-RKK. Unfortunately Paul was unable to take his prize home due to a lack of luggage capacity, so he kindly but reluctantly left it behind for the hosts to enjoy!

F KKiwiFlyer Magazine Issue 56 38 During two weeks of January, the 52nd annual Walsh Memorial Scout Flying School took place at Matamata. Thousands of ab-initio students have soloed at ‘the Walsh’ over the years and the school is a massive credit to all those who volunteer their time to make it happen. One of the 2018 intake’s proudly soloing students was Noah Woolf who kindly agreed to write up his experience for KiwiFlyer readers: Event Report contributed by Noah Woolf The 52 nd Walsh at Matamata On Saturday 20th January at 0600 hrs, my dream of flying solo came true thanks to the remarkable Walsh Memorial Scout Flying School. Since the age of six I have had an avid passion for aviation. I have always wanted to get behind the controls of an aircraft and take to the sky as the pilot in command. Walsh provided me with that incredible experience. Like all beginner pilots, before I could get behind the controls, I needed The 52nd Walsh Memorial Scout Flying School 2018 an instructor. One of the great things about ‘Walsh’ is that all the instructors are volunteers who give their time for the benefit of keen students. The Instructors were all fantastically passionate about teaching us future aviators how to fly - which was important as most of us were slightly nervous about getting into the left hand seat. Somehow I managed to get the School CFI, Steve Scott as my Instructor! He is an awesome guy, and was always easily locatable by his Hawaiian shirt and cup of tea in hand. Steve gave me the best flying instruction I could have wished for. Before every flight there would be a lecture / briefing. There were usually two ‘briefs’ a day where all 44 ab-initio students crammed into the Soaring Centre at Matamata Aerodrome to learn about different aviation topics. These included Meteorology, Principles of Flight, Aviation Law, Fire & Emergency, Engine & Instruments, Effect of Controls, Human Factors and Stalls. The sensation of taking to the air at the controls was just phenomenal. There is no other feeling like lifting off the ground, feeling the forces on your body, experiencing amazing views and having the responsibility of controlling an aircraft. One of my favourite moments of the whole camp was when Steve took me up in the Citabria. This was my first experience with a tail-dragger aircraft. It was pretty scary at times when you couldn’t really see where you were going while taxiing, but as soon as you brought the power up the nose pitched level and with gentle back pressure, the plane rapidly gained altitude. I did stall turns, loops and rolls. I even did a bit if formation flying with the Ercoupe, landing with a huge grin on my face! The Open Day saw an inspiring aerial performance by the RNZAF Black Falcons. Friends and family were entertained watching the many visiting aircraft and the continued water dousing of solo achievers. Open Day gave me the opportunity to fly the Tiger Moth which unfortunately didn’t go to plan, as just after we took off the 39 2018 #1 That’s the smile of Noah Woolf’s first solo. The RNZAF visited with Black Falcons and an NH90. The School is very well supported by numerous organisations offering 40+ significant prizes for high-performing students. Prizes range from cash contributions towards flying training, to simulator time, work experience days at Air New Zealand, a whole week at RNZAF Base Ohakea hosted by 3 Squadron, and much more. Every student attending also receives a KiwiFlyer subscription. The most prestigous award is the Walsh Trophy (including $1000 of flying) which goes to the best all-round ab-initio student in flying, exams, and leadership. Walsh Memorial Scout Flying School 2018 Awards Three Air New Zealand Group Awards of $2000, B787 Simulator time and a work experience day went to Phoebe Kirk, Alexander Barbarich-Bacher, and Millie Simpson. Three Charles Todd Memorial Awards of $1000 for top all-round returning students in flying and leadership went to Gareth Lacey, Caitlin Ferner, and Carmen Haybittle. Alexander Barbarich-Bacher receives the Walsh Trophy (including a $1000 flying award from Allen Williams) from Capt. David Morgan and John Mounce. engine sounded like a lawnmower running over nuts and bolts, and we had to make a hasty landing without radio contact, flying super low to the ground in order to clear incoming and overhead traffic. That flight will forever stay in my memory! As it turned out, the Ground Crewman had accidentally knocked one of the magneto switches off while buckling me in. My solo flight was another major highlight. I had to fly three perfect circuits to qualify for solo, and sure enough I did! Steve said, “Right, I’ve had enough of you.” and hopped out of the aircraft. The PA38 Tomahawk climbed like a rocket without the extra weight of an instructor. I went around the circuit nailing my downwind and final calls and gently landed the aircraft. Who would’ve thought that being doused in buckets of cold water would be such an honour - the reward for successfully completing your first solo. The Walsh wouldn’t be possible without the dedication, enthusiasm and commitment of other aviation enthusiasts and I thank them profusely for the time and energy they put into making the school run successfully. There were so many amazing people involved that it’s hard to name just a few, from Flight Ops Phil who stayed up till midnight nearly every night dealing with all the paper work involved with the days aircraft movements - and was up again at the crack of dawn, to the kitchen staff who worked tirelessly while downing endless coffees to beat the heat and stress of keeping our hunger at bay, and to all the Flight Instructors who gave up their time to turn a bunch of teenagers into pilots. I have all my fingers and toes crossed that I’ll be able to return to Walsh next year to help lead the new students and further my flying experience.
