    Hi I started in GA flying then moved over RA. I have noticed on RA aircraft that the difference in cruise and VNE is very small compared to GA types.

    They are just an awesome looking aircraft.

    I am reluctant to fly the aircraft till they fix the problem.

    I was flying an aircraft that seemed to have a disturbing vibration at 4700 rpm but above and below that RPM it was fine. does anyone have any idea what would cause this.

    I thing there is a RAA school who operate a fox bat with a ballistic shut. I thing they are south of Sydney

    The sports star and the piper sport are good example too.

    I have never flown a light aircraft in NZ but have flown into Christchurch more time then I remember and the scenery is just awesome.

    I do tend to err on the side of caution. for instance I spend more time checking the aircraft than I do flying it. today the aircraft I hired had an issue with the trim. when I cycled It on the display it would only show full up and neutral. Not down so I had to shut the aircraft down and get out and have a look. I found out later that it had not been calibrated properly!

    Was that you in the FOXBAT Geoff

    I went out in the sling 8515 today thinking there would be less aircraft around on a weekday. I was wrong lots of people flying today. I was joining crosswind for 12 and noticed four aircraft waiting and one on final. One Idea I like is the color of the FOXBAT. I follow him in the circuit today and that yellow is very easy to see.

    Thanks for that good advise guys.

    I try be very careful. take any risks. And most of that is because of my Lack confidence. I have been told this would get better when I become a 150 to 200 hour plus pilot.
