    I was being tested for straight and level control in thermal crosswind conditions. That is, my reactions and control correction response. Well, so i believe, i excelled anyway i am hgfa. (Wsm).

    I was asked during my test to make a low pass on the main airport runway. There was a crosswind, and a lot of warm air rising from the bitumen, so i knew the challenge was a good one. I turned base, final and lined her up. All was going awesome. As we got closer and closer to the surface i could see it was going to be a fantastic landing. As we washed off the final speed the instructor yelled, power power power and took over. I couldn't understand what was wrong. The landing was looking perfect considering the wind and bumps. He said... "I didn't say land, i wanted a low pass straight down the runway". Ooopps... Sorry. So we went round and did it properly the second time. Still passed. I put it down to nerves. Moral -listen to the instructors instructions carefully! Good luck, i'm sure you'll well.

    No advice from me, but it would be great to be there when you arrive! What date do you anticipate that or is there any way you can keep the forum updated with your locations? Enjoy the ride!

    My Take on Childers Photos. The first one shows our early departure cutting through a slight fog layer.

    Great to hear you all got home. We left the field at around 1pm, and dealt with thermals and 9+ kts coming home, but being a sucker for punishment went out to the Sandy Straits to see the bay to bay yachts race coming in under spinnaker. Great day and good to finally meet some other flyers. Now the rain is nearly here...

    I'll be there about 7am.... for breakfast. Look for my yellow xt912 trike! Be great to meet some you guys.

    Like I said '5secs' of fame right at the beginning - XT912 for about 3 mins total. A little disappointing - I thought they might use it through the show. Oh well. It's air time.

    oh OOOhhh - there's three Bobs.

    Tonight on ABC2 (I think at 630pm - check your guide), there is a show called Deadliest 60, and from the advertisement I saw last night there will be an XT-912 starring in the show - probably 5secs of fame anyway. May or may not be worth a look for those interested.

    That was very enjoyable. Thank you very much!

    Two thumbs up from me. Awesome feeling isn't it!

    Thanks Admin for your story and the photos. Maybe I'll get to one of these one year.

    VH-YGY just went past and landed at YHBA. It SCREAMS! How fast is it??? Nice looking bird too. According to the radio calls (5 mile and 1 mile final straight in) he covered 4 miles in 1.5mins(actually slightly quicker - and with a head wind). That puts his pass at 160kts! And it looked like to too.

    Awesome... That's a hoop you won't have to fly through again! As far as I am concerned, it just gets better from here. Well done!

    Keep them coming. We were there in 2011 and have to agree it is fantastic. Even my wife says she enjoyed it! And that was just to see the museum, we did not see the airshow.
