pilotdave69 Posted June 5, 2010 Share Posted June 5, 2010 Welcome Chris, good to hear another flying starter joined the group.. I also started flying a few weeks ago. 4.5 hours up only. Im learning in a Jab 160.. its such a thrill. Keep the updates coming with your progress. Cheers Dave Bathurst Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deskpilot Posted June 5, 2010 Share Posted June 5, 2010 Hi PB, not going to get into are you a Bob or a Chris? Welcome anyway. Glad to have another local join us. What made you choose the SportStar over the SportCub that Martyn has down there? I found the 'Star a bit mundane compared to the Jab LSA I fly out of Murray Bridge, and the 'Cub' was so easy for a tail dragger. So much easier to land than the Jab.

Neil_S Posted June 5, 2010 Share Posted June 5, 2010 Hi Chris, You are a youngster at 47! I started a couple of years ago at 53 and wished I'd started a lot sooner! As others have said - you will love it. Good luck with your training - keep us informed of your progress. Cheers Neil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JollyWalter Posted June 7, 2010 Share Posted June 7, 2010 Howdy Chris I'm a late starter myself at 46 and like most I wish I'd got around to it sooner. Enjoy the site, there's a lot to be gained from keeping a regular eye on it. And the people around here are real friendly. Cheers Mick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thx1137 Posted June 7, 2010 Share Posted June 7, 2010 G'day Chris, It seems a fair few of us started learning in our mid 40s :-) I learnt on the SportStar at Aldinga but fly a Jabiru 160 these days. I do miss the Sporty though. Steven. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
