idgie68 Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 New member here; I fly out of Lilydale and have been working towards my RPC/RPL. I fly Jabiru, although my favourite aircraft are DC3, Blackbird, Pitts' Specials, and gyrocopters. I'm at around 65 hours including 10 in a gyro. Later starter. Love flying around Yarra Valley. Cheers, Angela 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nightmare Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 Hi and welcome to the forum Angela! I learned in non-Jabiru aircraft, but have grown to love them since I bought one. Which model are you flying? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

idgie68 Posted January 3, 2018 Author Share Posted January 3, 2018 .... not Airtourer or Super Decathlon? I had to look twice because I thought - does this guy know me?? Have flown in both and love them! VH-ECI ,VH-XVV, and VH-KAR Love the Victa for quirkiness and they are just a graceful aero. KAR (Decath) has grunt and is just a thrill to be in (only a passenger so far!) Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which model are you flying? 160D. I call it the 'Blowfly of the Sky' - it's twitchy and difficult, but I too have grown fond of it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
