Howdy from Tassie

Hi guys,

 

Recreational Flying dot com keeps coming up in my google searches and access to the first post only in the threads were becoming a tease so I finally signed up.

 

Currently residing in Tassie, and apart from a few test flights in a Jabby, a C172 and a Foxbat(loved the Foxbat), my aviation background has been rotary wing only.

 

Looking to find/buy a nice comfortable aircraft. I'd like it to cruise around 100kts, have good endurance, land in short fields, and have really good visibility. Being trailerable a plus. Don't know if I possess the patience to build but we do have long winters down here.

 

I love the look of the Sierra & Cheetah, the Pioneer and the Sabre (suppose that makes me a low wing man) but would consider a high wing. A Lightwing lands in a paddock where I work occasionally and I'm starting to develop a soft spot for it. This is going to be my next aircraft to test fly.

 

Looking forward to chatting on the site and hopefully one day meeting a few at a fly-in day.

 

Andy

Welcome OMELETTE, wondering if that is a good name for a pilot. The Lightwing is a good plane, and there are a lot more out there too......enjoy................
