Good Morning, Len Here!

Good Morning Everyone

 

I am an "almost Ultralight Pilot" from South Africa, we arrived in Sydney 2 Months ago (27 Nov '07)

 

The "Almost" part comes from the fact that I started with my PPL in 2000 ( I logged 8 hours in a '172) but found that to be like driving a car with wings! I went out to a microlight field one Sunday and got chatting to a gent who was doing some work on his aircraft. I told him about my interest in flying and my PPL progress and he offered to take me up for a spin once he was finished with his tinkering. What can I say? I was hooked!I promptly enrolled as a Student at Microlight adventures ( http://www.microlightadventures.co.za/ ) n the next three months I was able to Solo, amass 25 Hours flying time (8 Solo) and gain my Aviation radio operators licence (restricted) Unfortuantely I never completed my MPL checkride due to complications with my business at the time. The urge to return to the sky has always remained and I would like to return to the blue again!

 

This seems like a good place to meet like minded people!

Welcome Len. You've come to the right place - and the right country:big_grin:

 

Western Sydney huh? (probably doesn't look like the right country from there)

 

You need to step out to The Oaks. All your flying problems will be solved.

Hi Len,

 

Welcome to the Australian Microlighting scene. There is a Trike instructor at Somersby who's also from SA and shares your name.

 

Cheers,
