Hi All,Not so flash with computers and not so flash at flying ...just yet...so please forgive me if I get things wrong.

Forgiving me when I get things wrong is one of my instructors good traits! And, for sure there are many of them.

 

I have now a massive 20 hours under my belt but I am very keen.

 

My first flying experience in a little one was in the front seat of a Drifter flown by Wayne Fisher.

 

Wow, what an experience. And one I will never forget. So now I am well on the way to piloting my own aircraft.

As you can see from my stuff up - I'm also not so great with computers and still trying to work out how I reply to people who have sent me welcome messages! Apart from a few hours of GA solo flying many years ago it's safe to say I'm about 20 hours of training behind you - just starting out on the recreational certificate. Good luck with your flying and I'll be keen to hear how things pan out. Congrats and welcome - Trevor

Thanks all for the welcome.

Pud - I'm in Bridgetown and was planning on doing my training with Bunbury Aero Club - I think they use a Tecnam Eaglet for it. Whereabouts are you? I see you have a Thruster - I'd like to eventually get something similar once I get the rec certificate - thought the Quicksilver GT500 or maybe X-Air looked good - anything I can put a four-stroke engine into - though from what I hear two-stroke reliability has improved a over recent years!

Hi everyone,

Great to find this site. I'm an old bloke who is new to recreational aviation and just organising some lessons now. I did clock up five or six hours of solo back in the early 90's at Bankstown in Sydney where I started a GA licence in an old Piper Tomahawk and was totally hooked - until life's complications and a lack of money got in the way of completing my licence! Can't say I remember too much about my training but delighted there is now a recreational licence category which may let me complete my goal of flying for pure enjoyment here in the beautiful South West of Western Australia. Please bear with my general lack of experience and understanding of flying and aircraft but I hope to be able to pick your collective brains from time to time. Cheers to all!
