gandalph Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 Hi, Just became the proud part owner of a Jabiru ST that is in need of some minor repairs and refurbishment following an EFATO. Suffered wing and fin damage as well as a couple of broken through bolts which lead to the relatively gentle off field landing and inversion. So plenty of work to do before the poor little thing gets back into the air. No flying posts for a while yet, but probably plenty of questions. I'm based in Canberra. The plane is at Hilltop at my syndicate partner's repair facility. Got to solo 3 different times over 35 years of stop/start training. Managed to get about 150 hours in sailplanes as well. The plan is to use the plane to get some hours and some RAA endorsements and then decide if I want to go the full GA ticket route Chose the nickname Gandalph because I'm old and grey, NOT because I'm wise!

facthunter Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 Or a full owner of the aircraft for half the time. The first step in gaining wisdom would surely be the realisation that you need more of it.. Welcome, Gandalph.

gandalph Posted October 25, 2011 Author Share Posted October 25, 2011 Welcome Gandalf ... Of course, we expect a few photos along the way ... Peter Thanks Facthunter, Frank and Peter for your warm welcome. Peter, You should be careful what you wish for.....there will be photos! The aircraft is currently at my syndicate partner's repair facility at Hilltop near Mittagong while I am based in Canberra, so I expect that my little red car will become a familiar site on the Hume Hwy over the next several months. Hmmm... perhaps I should change my nickname to Noddy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
