Another Newbie

[bobcharl]

G'day all, finally got around to introducing myself.

 

Started flying many years ago, initial training in a Victa Airtourer,then flew Cessna 150, 172, 182 and my favourite a Piper Comanche. Gave up flying in favour of family commitments (you all know the story I'm sure) but decided a few years ago to get airborn again. It seemed Recreational Aviation was the way to go and so started my conversion in a Tecnam and later a Jab 230.It seemed the skills never left - just got a trifle... er... rusty!! .

 

Got my ticket and currently fly a Jab 160 on a hire basis.

 

Always dreamed of scratch building an aircraft, but the years slipped by so thought a kit build might have more chance of completion so have commenced construction of a Savannah VG XL. Fascinating project

 

Looking forward to being involved in this forum.

Sounds good, Bob. Your story as you also assume is a very familiar one for quite a few. I just never got into it until a couple of years ago, but enjoying it now.

You have joined a great bunch of people on this site Bob, let's face it all pilots are great anyway.

I live in a rural district called Marrar about 30km north of Wagga in southern NSW.

 

I'm not working to a timeline on the Savannah: how long it takes is how long it does take, but it would be nice to fly in to Natfly 2013.
