gareth lacey Posted January 23, 2012 Posted January 23, 2012 thanks Dazza been in sydney for a friends birthday thats why i didnt reply earlier I had my fifth circuits in a different plane C172 and a different CPI, he has a more leave alone on controls but more vocal input. did 2 hard landings 1 overshoot 1 left side of runway but last 2 yippee oh what a feeling this just gets better, hopefully the weather will be good for wednesday lesson going to look at a jab 430 in toowoomba fri has all the good stuff on efi etc garmin 2006 model for $50,000 this cheaper than buying 4 wheel drive do you fly for a living mate or for recreation ? My son has just moved with his job to Adelaide for 3 years and i am planning a trip after i get PPl with a mate who has flown for a few years , i thought that being a low hrs it would be good to have his experience and input to do the planning etc and some of the flying .any advice on learning on other a/c after PPL? and who has these planes to hire say brissie or GG i did hear that there was Jab 170 for hire at Heck Field maybe enquire when getting closer to PPL any all Cheers for now Safe fLying Gareth
dazza 38 Posted January 23, 2012 Posted January 23, 2012 Hi Gareth, I only fly for fun.There are RRA registered Jabirus at Archerfield.Pathfinder is the name of the company.Im not sure where you can find a GA registered Jab to fly around in Brissy or the Gold coast.Someone here will know. I personaly like to fly different aeroplanes, I think if gives a aviator, a good, experience.It also stops the boredom of flying just one aircraft.
oneplaneboy Posted January 23, 2012 Posted January 23, 2012 Hey Gareth, if you feel like a trip to Lismore (1.5hr drive from Gold Coast) Northern Rivers Aero Club have a couple of Jabs
planedriver Posted January 23, 2012 Posted January 23, 2012 G'day Gareth and . This is a great place to mel out and get the good oil from those that are more expierienced than us. Sounds like we are are of similar vintage. Good luck and keep us posted with your progress. Kind Regards Planey
gareth lacey Posted January 26, 2012 Posted January 26, 2012 Hi Planedriver thanks for that as you say similair vintage but 64 is the new 54 so age is not a factor for me no flying this week low cloud and rain but have a slot for sat mon and tuesday the circuits are getting easier and am looking forward to that first solo cheers for now all safe flying Gareth
