strikemaster Posted October 12, 2006 Share Posted October 12, 2006 Hi fellow flyers. Great reading from these posts...good way to learn I recon. Well I come from Birregurre (near colac) in the south west Victoria. Learnt to fly GA in '85 and did a few years in gliders between 94 and 2000. As fly both these types began to get out of the average income earners reach at the turn of the century, I converted to ultralights in 2000, and never looked back. I do mess gliding alot which IMO is the ultimate in wings, but I now get much more bang for my buck. I currantly fly a SV11 Farmate which is for sale in order to make hanger space for a Karatoo J6. I am blessed with my own hanger and strip at my back door which is a great saving in time and traveling as well as money. Looking forward to many more great reads here.

pylon500 Posted October 13, 2006 Share Posted October 13, 2006 Hi strikemaster, Did a lot of gliding myself in an earlier lifetime, seems a pity to self the Farmate as it would have a reasonable glide with the motor off. Just need to be sure it will restart when/if you need it! ;) Arthur. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strikemaster Posted October 13, 2006 Author Share Posted October 13, 2006 Yes Arthur, it sure is a pity to sell the farmate...I just love to fly it. Unfortunately it is a single seater with barely enough room for a spare bottle of drink, let alone a dog and a tent lol, and I am ready to head outback for awhile, so I do need room for supplies. Can't wait! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
