Erik Snyman Posted May 29, 2017 Posted May 29, 2017 Hello Listers. Just joined. Looking at flying ultralights to combat GA costs. Regards, Erik in Oz.
Nightmare Posted May 29, 2017 Posted May 29, 2017 Hi and welcome Erik RAA is certainly the way to go for an affordable way to get into the air. Are you currently GA looking to go RAA?
BusaKaine Posted May 29, 2017 Posted May 29, 2017 Hi Erik, I'm just finishing my Nav in a RAAus so I can get my RPL and then PPL. It's definitely a cost saving over GA plus I really do love flying the Sling 2.
Erik Snyman Posted May 29, 2017 Author Posted May 29, 2017 Hello All Thanks for the welcome. Capt. Wally: Being a South African farm boy, I grew up with Lister diesels, and LOVE them!!! Nightmare: Yes, I have a PPL, and is renting at the moment. It is not so much the cost factor as the inconvenience of not being able the have the plane when I want it. I sold my plane (C172M) when we moved to Australia, so I miss the convenience terribly. BusaKaine: Good on you. Having a PPL is, in my opinion, still more practical than having a RPL. It allows you to fly a wider range of planes, but, if you fly just for the fun of punching holes in the sky, there is nothing wrong with a RPL. Kindest regards, Erik in Oz. 1
