Airborne again!

[hylife]

G'day. New to recreational flying category. Former low hour GA pilot seeking a more affordable way to fly...after a break of a couple of years (ok, decades...). Great to be aviating again. First cross country tomorrow.

Try to stay out of the newspapers between Redcliffe and Wondai. Scenic and quite well wooded.

 

 

[hylife]

Thanks. Are you YTWB based?

 

 

[mnewbery]

Allegedly...

Learned to fly GA at DDAC in YTWB long time ago. What do you fly from Toowoomba?

Sling 2 with the rotax I S engine. No mag checks to do, no mixture control, no carby heat (fuel injection). It felt strange not doing all the runup checks I had done so long ago.
