Hi all from the lower east island!

[davyhl]

Im from Canterbury NZ. Great Flying Conditions from Flat Plains to towering Mountains 20min away. What a great Web site! so much info..

 

Learnt on a pterodactyl many years ago and after a 15yr break, I have got the bug again.

 

I currently fly a Pioneer 200, Jabiru J160 (both with Jabiru engines) and occassionly a Rans coyote. Love the 1st two. Cant decide which one more. Also starting on a new Pioneer 300. The 300 is a beautiful plane but need to keep an eye on oil temp as it is inclined to run hot... unlike the earlier ones which run cold. still trying to find out the differences. both are Rotax 912s.

Hi Davyhl

 

Welcome to the forums - I have to say that to you or my wife will throttle me as my wife is a Kiwi and I spent many years over in Auckland - seriously, welcome and I hope you enjoy the forums and the friendly bunch of people all with the same interests as you - FLYING :big_grin:

 

Actually, I have been thinking of late of extending the forums presence over the ditch to NZ as really we are all in this together but I am not exactly sure on the best way of doing it - any suggestions?

The 300 you fly is the best of the best microlights around!
