Hi from Sam

[Guest SamL]

Hi all.

 

My name is Sam, and I thought I should introduce myself.

 

I live in Melbourne and fly out of Mangalore Airport most weekends.

 

My background is electrical, and currently work in sales.

 

I started flying in 1988 in Cessna's, then Trikes and now Gyroplanes.

 

Like most on this forum I fly because I love it. "SAFE FLYING"

 

Regards SamL..................

Flew into and out of Mangalore last week, nice facility but seems the flight school has taken over. Got into trouble using their Loo!!

 

Hope to see you out and about one day...but not too close now as I am a green horn!

Likewise, Sam.

I fly from the Yarrawonga Flight Training hangars, where there is always a tea / coffee for visitors. If you plan to be up this way, PM me and I'll arrange to be there if I can. There's no pattern to my flying except available time and weather. It can range from not at all to 3 or 4 times a week. It is always nice to meet other forumites.

Hi Eric

Thanks for the welcome. Many years ago I 2 flew Trikes, and enjoyed them very much. What I flew was a Skylink Hornet RS/ZA which were very rare and very different. It was a 2 seat side by side machine that was imported in Australia from England in the early 80's. Very stable and very easy to fly. Here are a few pic's of it.

 

Cheers SamL.....................

[Guest SamL]

Thanks Eric

 

The other cool thing is when flown one up, the pilot simply sits in the middle of the couch:cheezy grin:

 

Cheers SamL.......

Hi Eric

These new Gyros run a 1.6 litre fuel injected turbo charged Suzuki rated at about 160hp. VNE 90 knots, cruise 65- 75 knots, fuel tank is 130 litre, fuel burn 17-20 litres per hour. This is a real cross country machine, and I hope to be upgrading real soon.
