TezzaP Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 Hello, I've been a lurker for a while but now that I have joined RA-Aus I thought it time to sign up. I started lessons in a Foxbat last weekend and loved it. After about 5 years in gliders (with some rather large gaps in between), I've thrown myself back into gliding and learning to fly power at the same time. Really pleased to be doing both and looking forward to learning lots from the forum. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have only recently started out as well and have been flying jabirus. I have been up in a foxbat and loved it, great visibility. Best of luck with your training.

TezzaP Posted May 15, 2015 Author Share Posted May 15, 2015 Adam, I have become a fan of your podcasts recently. I have never downloaded a podcast before but after seeing your posts on this forum have been saving them and listen on the 6 hour drive to my gliding club. They are all interesting and make a long journey enjoyable. Keep them coming. May I suggest an interview with Ingo Renner, an Australian glider pilo, with 30,000 hours in gliders, 4 times world champion and recipient of the FAI Lilienthal medal. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its great that you have taken the time to listen! I too have quite a long drive to my flight lessons (3 hour round trip) but 6 hours, wow. if you like my podcast you will love the other veteran aviation podcasts. They are a pleasure to listen too. My favourites are: Plane crazy down under airplane geeks stuck mike uncontrolled airspace There are so many good podcasts out there to help make your drive bearable. Thanks again and enjoy the flying. Will def do my best to get ingo on the show 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Litespeed Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 Welcome aboard... Couldn't agree more about Ingo- guy is a absolute legend. When I get my act together- he is the man. Great to have you here. Phil 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
