Guest Chris Spencer-Scarr Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 Hi All, I have recently relocated to Australia from South Africa. I fly purely for fun and have been doing so for 22 years. I fly fixed wings, helicopters and ultralights, and have a tail wheel, night rating, safety pilot rating and class II test pilot rating. In 2003 I represented South Africa in the World Rally and Precision Flying Championships and am happiest upside down. I recently sold my Van's RV-7 before the move. I intend converting my licence to an Australian PPL and look forward to meeting fellow enthusiasts in south east Queensland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
