    thanks andy &J170 owner lots of info in jab forum and am planning a visit to bundy to scope the j430 at Jabiru, also got to fly in one last fri must say am pretty impressed plenty of room for 2 portly gents at around 200 kilo all up it just took off like a rocket the 3300 engine really gets wound up we were at 3500 in minutes i was awestruck, the cessna 150 trainer justs chug a lugs up but the jab wow, and landing was a gentle affair will be looking at purchace at the end of year the jab is going to be ideal for what i and my lovely lady need :touring: thanks guys see yuo in freindly skies Gareth

    thanks Dazza been in sydney for a friends birthday thats why i didnt reply earlier I had my fifth circuits in a different plane C172 and a different CPI, he has a more leave alone on controls but more vocal input. did 2 hard landings 1 overshoot 1 left side of runway but last 2 yippee oh what a feeling this just gets better, hopefully the weather will be good for wednesday lesson going to look at a jab 430 in toowoomba fri has all the good stuff on efi etc garmin 2006 model for $50,000 this cheaper than buying 4 wheel drive do you fly for a living mate or for recreation ? My son has just moved with his job to Adelaide for 3 years and i am planning a trip after i get PPl with a mate who has flown for a few years , i thought that being a low hrs it would be good to have his experience and input to do the planning etc and some of the flying .any advice on learning on other a/c after PPL? and who has these planes to hire say brissie or GG i did hear that there was Jab 170 for hire at Heck Field maybe enquire when getting closer to PPL any all Cheers for now Safe fLying Gareth
