idgie68 Posted January 3, 2018 Posted January 3, 2018 New member here; I fly out of Lilydale and have been working towards my RPC/RPL. I fly Jabiru, although my favourite aircraft are DC3, Blackbird, Pitts' Specials, and gyrocopters. I'm at around 65 hours including 10 in a gyro. Later starter. Love flying around Yarra Valley. Cheers, Angela 3

Nightmare Posted January 3, 2018 Posted January 3, 2018 Hi and welcome to the forum Angela! I learned in non-Jabiru aircraft, but have grown to love them since I bought one. Which model are you flying?

Love love the the AWPA...
idgie68 Posted January 3, 2018 Author Posted January 3, 2018 .... not Airtourer or Super Decathlon? I had to look twice because I thought - does this guy know me?? Have flown in both and love them! VH-ECI ,VH-XVV, and VH-KAR Love the Victa for quirkiness and they are just a graceful aero. KAR (Decath) has grunt and is just a thrill to be in (only a passenger so far!) Cheers

Which model are you flying? 160D. I call it the 'Blowfly of the Sky' - it's twitchy and difficult, but I too have grown fond of it. 1
