  1. Thanks everyone. not interested in IFR, only NVFR. I’ll make some inquiries with the local AP
  2. I would like to make my aircraft nvfr but do not have a nav source, and am looking for the cheapest solution. Val avionics make a nav only radio, a nav2000, which I can interface with my old Efis for the display. This unit is supposed to be made to meet tso standards, however is not tso’d. I don’t really want to fork out for an Garmin SL30, or a 430, and I do not have room for another instrument for the indicator. Does anybody know if VH experimental can use a non tso nav receiver for nvfr? The legislation is confusing me. Thanks.
  3. Hi DC16, I am a Frankston local, and fly at Tyabb. I am building an RV7 at the moment, so if you want to have a look, drop me a PM with your details, and I will be in contact. Cheers, Joe
  4. Hi Geoff, Peninsula aero club at Tyabb have a C-162 on line that is usually available on the weekends. Cheers, Joe
  5. Hi Robbo, You can try Torquay airpark. Joe
  6. Hi Carl, Welcome to the forum. I fly out of Tyabb also, and have seen you several times taking your gyro out for a spin. Next time I see you, I will stop by and say G'day. Cheers, Joe
  7. Have you ever had a flying dream? I had them as a kid, but had forgotten until a couple of weeks ago. I'll get onto that in a minute. I was always fascinated by aeroplanes. As a kid, it was plastic models, then pre teens, and early teens, it was radio controlled aircraft. Joined the Air Force cadets when I was old enough. A family friend would take me and my dad flying during my early teens. During year 10 at school, I completed my private theory at night, then left school to work and earn money to get my license. A few years later and I had a commercial with an instructor rating. "Living the dream" you could say. Then there was the recession we had to have, and I could not survive in a small country flying school, so I moved home and got a job in manufacturing. The usual story, got married, bought a house, had a couple of kids and couldn't afford to fly any more. Fast forward about 15 years. I get a new job and I meet a guy that flies RAA. So much has changed over the years with ultralights. I get a promotion, and although I still have a couple of kids at school, I now have some money to do a little flying again. So I get my pilot certificate, complete my GA AFR, and I am flying again. The more I fly again, I realise that the yearning to fly never really left me, as it is as strong as ever. I only really realised this recently when my mate emailed me a link to a Harrison Ford YouTube clip, and he asks the question at the start, "have you ever had a flying dream?", then all the memories of the dreams as a kid come flooding back into my consciousness. Now I can't get enough of aeroplanes again. So why do I fly? Because I yearn to fly! Joe.

  9. Peninsula Aero Club at Tyabb do both RAA and PPL. Good instructors and a pretty good social group. The airfield also has the benefit of having a large range of privately owned aircraft that get flown regularly which can be good viewing on a nice day.
