Just landed into recreational flying

[Guest donnyl]

Hello to All,

 

I am only a few hours into my LSA certificate and enjoying every minute; currently flying Jabaroo 160/170 from palamana S.A. I'm sure to have a lot of questions about flying and hopefully building a kit if my financial manager (wife) seconds my motion to buy a aircraft; look forward to hearing all the tall stories

 

Smooth Landings

Cheers R461, I like the sleek look of the sportcruiser, I can only hope after the LSA cert and a few endorsments I can fly into Narrowmine and test a few dirrerent AC.

 

for now I'll have to be happy with the J160 & 170

Donnyl, Great to have another member from Murray Bridge on board, even if you do fly with the 'other lot'. I hire and fly with RPA. Always has, and always will be rivalry 'tween the two (long story). Safe flying mate, and enjoy the forums.

Thanks Gents,

 

Didn't know about the rivalry Doug, I'm sure I'll hear somthing about it sooner or later, might catch you in the circuit and would always be happy to pick up some tips over a Amber after.

 

Cheers

Hello, Murray Bridge is a great little airfield. So far I've only seen it from the sky on short navs where I touch and go and then wave goodbye again.

 

But, welcome and I may hear you in the circuit! :)

Jodie, 2 things to remember about MB. Rising ground just before the start of 02, get too low and too slow and you'll be picking up pieces of the undercarriage if you made it in one piece. Form the other end, 20, there is often a down wind just short of the fence, be prepared to add that power. Best bet is to aim to land a little long in either direction, the runway is long enough. Perhaps you should also try a t & g on 27 , rising ground on grass with turbulence from the tree line, good fun some days. 90 is down hill, obviously, just try not to overfly the farm house on approach, in both directions.

I like detailed descriptions and visuals from locals, very handy, cheers!

I keep tips and tidbits of info like that with my ERSA, never know when it may come in handy
