Thruster Oz

Welcome to Thruster OZ. 
The plan is to share the fun and freedom of flying an ultralight in Australia.

Thruster TST 25-0168 was rescued from storage and is now back in the air after a 9 year break. 

I have been flying General Aviation aircraft for over 30 years and fell in love with the first Thruster that I got to fly. After converting my CPL to a Recreational licence I purchased '168' and went about making it good as new. 

Thruster 168 is a 1988 model built in Australia with a Rotax 503 engine. It weighs 150kgs (without fuel and passengers) and cruises at around 45kts.

In 2023 we added a Skyreach Bushcat to the fleet - 340kgs empty and 100hp! Cruises at around 80kts and can carry 2 people, fuel and a handbag.

Both aircraft are amazing to fly and offer affordable options against more conventional (GA) aircraft.

For anyone with a passion for hands on flying - it doesn't get any better then this.

I look forward to sharing more adventures with you in the future.
