Ultralights

T2 light aircraft lanes during peak hour?

just a quick question, does cross country training include 1 in 60 rules?

i done all my cross country work in the PPL syllabus.

i should check back more often!

caption, Aces High?

Hello, welcom aboard! just a quick question, how much is hangarage at Albion Park? i will be moving to Nowra in 2 weeks and need a place to park my Vampire.. im sure she will fit in with a flock of trikes. :)

so, naked browsing is still permitted and encourage?

yep, that would be the one. its over on the western edge of the lane.

i know that route well. did you see the big arrow painted on a orage water tank pointing to YSBK?

Ahhh the Big wheel. sold a Sapphire i built years ago to fund a house purchase, now im selling the house to fund a new aircraft! (whenever the house sells)

Ok oafter some many weeks of deliberation, and requests for tender to many friends

The name for my Vampire is

Once Bitten

Now for some nose art!

$40 a week isnt too bad, im paying $30 a week at cessnock. Hoxton park is out of the question at $350 a month.

Ill probably start out of Jaspers Brush, and keep the Vampire on the trailer for the time being, fortunately i will now have a nice big car port its fits in!

How long is the drive from Nowra to The Oaks?

though the VNC shows there is a CTAF at Robertson?? has anyone ever flown into this CTAF?

what happened to the Gear warning buzzers?

even on the deck it still the meanest looking bomber ever made!

i am so jelous! wheres that lotto win when you need it! (though i still love my vampire)

New stealth wing!! or the super thin Mach 3 wing?

now how does it go on a go kart track like that!!

I am looking forward to some time flying around SE QLD! i have driven through the place many time on my way to Maryborough, but only ever flown around Fraser Island when i hired a C172 from Hervey bay.

Whats hangarage like in Goulburn? this i am told is only about 1 hr from where i will be living (Culburra Beach) and thats about the same distance i travel from Nelson bay to Cessnock airport. Goulburn i think at this point in time would be ideal, as it brings a few more destinations south and west into range.

sadly i will Miss the Hunter region, and i will miss my weekend shopping trip into the vineyards to add to my cellar. the flying in this part of the world is stunning, and there is a great group of guys and gals in the Hunter recreational flying club.

for the speed, ease of maintenence, backup support, spares availability, you cant go past a Jabiru... as ugly as they are.

I have been using the same set of David Clarks now for 15 years. never had an issue. Though they are now on their second set of gell filled ear pads.

a LOW wing Jabiru??

i have a couple of places at Hat Head.... i dont remeber any paddocks near the area. except maye the swamps to the west. hope everyone involved is safe..

its a good day! as long as your in something turbine powered!

the promotion is worth about an extra $300 a week. and i will be closer to Syd, and family. though i am going to push a little thing called workerforce mobility when i get there, so i might be able to spent time in Townsville, and back up here at Williamtown.

Though in about 7 weeks, i will be spending 6 weeks in Amberly for training course, at which time i will trailer the vampire up there hopefully find some short term hangarage so i can fly up there on weekends when im on course.

i have always said if i win Lotto i would try to buy the oaks airfield, and put in heaps of hangars down the western side, with clubhouses,, and seal 1 on the eastern side with a few properties to be sold to aviators, airpark style and keep the western runway grass for the "purists"!

Hoxton park is the same, the norther sock will be in calm air, yet the southern (more accurate) will be in gale force winds.

more like a new coffin (to rest in) is needed, ok that sounded really bad...

As of the 4th of June i will be based in Nowra... (promotion) and i am looking for hangarage in that area, i was thinking either Wollongong or Goulburn, as i work a 4 day week and usually fly on Fridays.

sadly looking at the VNC there is limited areas i can fly to especially with only a 2 hr endurance, it every trip will have to be a refuelling stop.

does anyone know of cheap hangarage in either of these areas? sadly i cannot use Nowra base as i am not in the Navy, same story at Willie, i was not a Raffie so i could not use the flying club facilities there... (considering my taxes pay for it all, i dont see why i cant use it)

Many have mentioned Jaspers Brush, but what is the likelyhood of getting clearances to fly from there on Fridays from Nowra control?

i faxed off the application for Skyfuel cards. told them i expext about 150 ltrs a month, a pretty accurate figure as in the past month i have averaged about 50 ltrs a weekend

the only electronic i use in my Navs are this

and this

only in VOR mode..

as for a GPS, i will take one, but i only use it in a diversion, or getting an accurate ground speed to help in fuel calcs.

sure looking out the window is fun, but i still prefer the good old compass map and timer.
