Hello from a new guy

[Guest Cralis]

Hello All.

 

I'm looking for some forums where I can learn, and have a laugh at the same time. I'm not a pilot. I fly R/C Helis and Planes... just never could afford to fly full scale. 33 now, and thinking of doing a PPL. I'm new to Australia... been in Brisbane since March 08. Did 7 years in the UK prior to that, and the rest was all South Africa. Nearly did my first trail flight in Cape Town, but the plane got grounded that day, and the school never came back to me.

 

Might do a trial here somewhere, but would like to ask loads of questions before bringing out my wallet.

 

Nice to meet you all.

 

Craig

Crailis,

 

You've arrived at the right site.

 

Plenty of laughs to be had here for sure. You'll learn lots from a great bunch of guys that fly anything from chuck gliders to 767's. Some of the 767 drivers now fly chuck gliders but are not quite so impressed with the pay,

 

Get that trail flight organised ASAP. You'll love it, and it might only cost you 60 or 70 bucks with an RAA club.

 

PS. My nephew in the UK is big on flying R/C Ceiling Fans?, and it costs him a small fortune.

 

Kind Regards

 

Alan

R/C Ceiling fans! Very good!

 

Thanks for the welcome. $60ish for a trial flight?! Where? I'll be keen on a bit of that! How would I find a local RAA club? Wait... what's an RAA club??
