Hi From SE QLD

[davidc95]

I'm a casual RA-Aus pilot [HP, NW, HF, R, PAX] currently completing my cross-country training at Caboolture Aerodrome, with the hope of transiting to a PPL in the future. Training in a Jabiru J160C (w/ aftermarket Rotax engine).

 

About 35 hours in the logbook - 20 dual, 15 solo.

 

I am also studying aerospace avionics engineering at QUT full-time.

G'day, David &

 

Hope all goes well with the cross-country endo.

 

I have been up to Caboolture & Watts Bridge a few times (to look at the TAVAS WW1 replicas) - met lots of friendly aviators there.

 

Cheers

Welcome David, tell us your thoughts on the Rotax powered Jabiru J160C , sounds like a good combo.

The Rotax certainly gives the Jab a power kick (especially in climb rate), but I chose to finish my flight training in it as I was struggling with my flares during circuit training. Compared to the conventional J160 I previously trained in, the Rotax J160 is significantly nose heavy, which tended to eliminate the ballooning issue I was developing on final approach.
