    hi, I'm about to buy a 2017 ex deluxe, I would also like to install a fishing kit, is it an adapted kit or is it for sale? Do you have a site where you can buy all fishing kits? hello thanks from Italy

    Hey man if you can get back to me that'd be awesome. I have a 2022 Ex myself and am dying to install a cooler in the back. Just had one question, what did you do with the water house that plows up from the back, dealer told me that can't be removed on Ex. Do you just place the cooler right on top of it?

    Hi @Pete Livin' Large - did you have to apply for permission to fly at the falls? I have been wanting to fly this location for quite some time, but the DOC web site's wording is confusing over whether or not you _should_ apply for permission to fly here (I don't know whether they mean that you're unlikely to get permission, so don't bother, or "you don't really need to get specific permission to fly there", confusing. Secondly, did you fly from the car park? Cheers! Love the 'over the egde' shot.

    Hi Pieter. Thank you for the compliment. I found the box worked perfectly fine for me. Its a make shift set up, but it was pretty stable and worked exactly as I hoped it would. I won't be putting any kingfish in there because of the size but it will definitely hold a few snapper, Trevally etc
