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
