It's interesting to note your checklist TWMPFISCHR ... Completely different to mine
Before start we use STAIP and then before taxi we use CHIFWAP and when in the circuit at start of downwind we use FAAWNT
Our circuits are at 1000ft also

Good to read your posts.
I'm on a very similar journey, but I got a 582.
I'm hanging to get up again... But have to wait to first week of Nov to get a spot with CFI
All I can say is that it's hard to add up and I can't be bothered, so it just costs something...
For me, it's pretty cheap - Microlight.
But if I keep going with my future plans, it could be a lot
.... Of fun, so who cares!
I can't wait to watch it...
I reckon it must be an amazing view from the start point...
Why don't we use huge balloons to lift space craft up to that height before firing the rockets? Surely, that would be cheaper and repeatable
I'm at 4 hours and haven't gone solo yet.... At about 12 hours of theory.... Yep, you guessed it.... The weather has been too windy every time I've booked in!
Just started touch and go landings...
Unfortunately nobody's making the low cost fully aerobatic ultralight amphibian bush plane I want.....
The quote above was part of a post on another forum.... But sums up what I was thinking also!!! LOL

We used to have a shack at aldinga on the cliffs that the government removed.... Great beach, dry inland. Hope they won't close the airfield because I'd be wanting to land there once I get my x country...
Like all coast regions, eventually the land becomes prime target for developers as Adelaide grows...
Riley has a good point.... I didn't think of this before buying mine... I since found this website, which looks like a start...
