G'day

[MitchS]

Hi All

 

I found this site tonight and it seems great. Lots of great information and experience, some of which I hope to glean to help me along with my new hobby. After a couple of years of dreaming about it, I recently started training for my RA Aus Pilots Certificate. I'm learning in a Texan 550 in Caloundra, and although I haven't had many lessons, I'm loving it.

 

Now I just have to start saving for a plane...

 

Cheers,

 

MS.

G'day Mitch, great plane to learn in, I'm flying a Texan TC550 our of Serpentine in WA. Just a great aircraft!

 

You'll love it here to, there's a lot of good advice and help when needed!

Welcome, Mitch.

 

That's it: One step at a time and you'll reach those ambitions.

 

Regards, Decca.

Thanks for the welcome guys!

 

What is the Storch like to fly in Brett? It doesn't look as graceful as the Texan, but I guess appearance isn't much to go on.

Hey Mitch, the Storch is great fun to fly. You can stall it it and take your hands and feet off the controls and she'll not only recover herself but also put herself into a 60kt glide!

 

Landing is a little slippery and it takes a fair bit to wash the speed off and you need to do that early but it's still such a fun little aircraft to fly and cheap to. I think you can pick a new one up for about $95,000.
