    Hi Guy's Jamestown Flying Group, Jamestown South Oz, have a new shiny J230 (lovely aeroplane), to private hire it you need to be a Group Member,$50/year, and it will cost you $120 pvt hire. Of course after being instructed on how we would like our aircraft operated and checked out by the appropriate person or persons. Dual hire is $180/hour and includes ground briefings in and out of the lesson. These prices are wet and are tacho, not sure how the tacho actually functions, other than that the master was left on by a club member overnight and the tacho did not tick over so to speak and the battery did not go flat. And fule is reinbursed, when you purchase it away, at the rate the club pays for it! Cheers Guy

    Hi Jim They are a great aircraft, however it all comes down to what you want to do! What engine does the one you are looking at have? 2 stroke/4 stroke and horses? If you are going any distance they don't go there in a hurry! If you just want to get your bum of the ground and go up the road for a coffee, they are a great machine for this, or if you like to have a good look at things while touring, they also good. If you need to get somewhere in a relatively short space of time, maybe you should consider something else! Cheers Guy

    Hi Tim Would make a good little Nav Ex, or you could get a lift over with one of the other fella's. Have you met Col at Wentworth? We expect about 150 to 200 people for the Hangar Dinner, some of those will drive in and some will walk and some will fly, maybe around 40 - 50 planes at a guess! You'll have to be here to find out! Cheers Guy

    Hi Col and welcome, Did my Pvt license at Tumut in 85, learnt to fly in the club Blanik first though. Probably know a few from Tumut! are you going to the Echuca flyin on 23 Feb, just a couple of weeks away! Cheers Guy

    We'll be there! That means 2 of us! Wants! Egg's, Bacon, Coopers Pale Ale, we can bring some nice Red if you are cooking steak! then again red goes with most things! And that new thing you posted the other day, we would like to try that out! When you lay your head between the mountains does it play nice music to put you to sleep, or do you have to tweek the tip's of the mountains to organise this. Fantastic Cheers Guy

    Hi Tony and welcome aboard! to a great load of fun! You should get heaps of input from your question, noise levels! inside or out? Usuall thing the faster you go the more air noise you get. However from the ground can be very quite! Used to live at Dora Creek, not far from Avondale! However never flew from there, had a mate who was an instructor there, however that was probably the late nineties! Cheers Guy

    Facthunter Nev What is the deal with PIFR, are you alowed to use this in daylight hours only or can it be used at night? If you can use it at night, do you then need a NVFR so you can do a circuit and land? as I believe the PIFR is only for enroute and not for approaches, please correct me if I am wrong! If anyone is doing IF training ,it is best done in IF conditions if at all possible, as simulated conditions are as it says, "Simulated". If IF conditions are not available then the darkest of dark nights way out in the sticks, nowhere near a city would be a great way of making you use your instruments! Really good for no visual Horizon and very scary above 500' agl! Keep it Visual Cheers Guy:;)3:
