G,day Pete,

Downloaded it on iTunes straightaway- that and Powerstruggle from the Sth Africa clip as well. Great music. Remember the Wrights were "lunatics" in their day as well......We owe flight to the many lunatics that dared to dream....

Hi Everybody,

Im Jason from Townsville i have been lurking for a while now and thought it was about time i said g'day . I have been an aeroplane geek for as long as i remember , i started flying training on 172's in the early nineties getting to GFPT and PPL theory before losing a lot of money when the school i was with folded up, and at the time being a young fella with a young family and other comittments i had to put the dream on hold , so for the last 20 odd years i have been walking around with my eyes skyward

I have also had a long held dream of designing and building my own aircraft and have spent many hours with the John Roncz spreadsheets and Hoerners book "fluid dynamic drag " amongst many other texts , and have recently built a small workshop under our house and started machining timber for aircraft parts .

I am looking forward to my RAA training and meeting you all around the traps ,love this site to there seems to be some great people here .

cheers

Jason
