Hi and welcome Erik

 

RAA is certainly the way to go for an affordable way to get into the air. Are you currently GA looking to go RAA?

Hi Erik, I'm just finishing my Nav in a RAAus so I can get my RPL and then PPL. It's definitely a cost saving over GA plus I really do love flying the Sling 2.

Hello All

 

Thanks for the welcome.

 

Capt. Wally: Being a South African farm boy, I grew up with Lister diesels, and LOVE them!!!

 

Nightmare: Yes, I have a PPL, and is renting at the moment. It is not so much the cost factor as the inconvenience of not being able the have the plane when I want it. I sold my plane (C172M) when we moved to Australia, so I miss the convenience terribly.

 

BusaKaine: Good on you. Having a PPL is, in my opinion, still more practical than having a RPL. It allows you to fly a wider range of planes, but, if you fly just for the fun of punching holes in the sky, there is nothing wrong with a RPL.

 

Kindest regards,
