    On ya buddy, when you get you licence try a few different types of ac and decide what you want to do. fly for distance, speed, or wind in your face fun. Then you will get what you want the first time. Have fun and keep us posted on how you are going with the lessons. Monty

    I will get back to S.A. one day, I spent some time at Edinburgh in the RAAF back in 1977/78., A lovely place. I didn't get a lot of time to myself for sightseeing but it would be nice I am sure. Monty

    Hi Friarpuk, I use a clear plastic hose I got from a hydraulic place. I just changed it at my 100 hrs service which was 14 months and it was still fine. A little stiff but not brittle and not yellow just a bit discoloured. not sure what type it is just ask your hydraulic guy and tell him you want it for fuel. That's what I did, works for me. hope it helps Monty

    Hi Bruce welcome along, What an awesome adventure that would have been! I don't think my Drifter would jump that big of a puddle. (A pity) Hope you enjoy the site, how about some photos of the trip? you must have some great shots Monty

    G'day ozzie, I am one of those puddle jumpers in my Drifter 3.5nm from the airport. Although I jump some real big puddles sometimes! It doesnt worry me but there are a few around here that it will. with the added cost of the equipment and the nearest Flight instructor is about 500klms away so thats a 1000 klms round trip to get qualified that amounts to a fair bit.Young kids save and save just to get a licence and something to fly,they can't afford the extra expence. It cost a lot to do your training in one block and accomadation because there is no one out here. I wonder if Raa or casa will help finance the changes I THINK NOT!! Just my thoughts Monty

    Thanks Graemek, It gets a bit confusing some times. It wont affect me as I use it all the time anyway but it will affect some others out here. Monty

    Please excuse the ignorance of a dumb novice aviator, I fly a Drifter from my home strip (paddock) it is 3.5mile from the Winton airport that I believe to be a registered airstrip it was CTAF, I have A radio and qualified to use it and I use it every time No exceptions. But does that mean that all ultralights within 10 mile of Winton need to carry radios now because there are a few that don't. I have looked at the changes and find it tells that you do and also that you don't I am confused. Can any one clarify this for me. I am not as dumb as this sounds (I think!!) Monty
