Just dropped in

[peter2480]

New kid on the street. Flying since 1980. Initially GA licence. The in 1990 Ultralight licence on Drifter. Renewed GA licence in 2003 and obtained Instrument rating. Now principally using 172XP for angelflights and hiring Drifter for local casual flying.

 

Have long been interested in a CGS Hawk and am now more seriously considering buying one from the US. Don't seem to see too many of these in Oz.

 

My focus seems to be returning to RAA as difficult to justify GA for the Sat evening 'let's go flying tomorrow morning' impulse - that's not to say that my 172XP is not very cost effective but I don't get the same thrill that I get in a Drifter - the rewards are differently placed in the 172.

 

Hope to contact others that may have experience with CGS hawks esp Hawk Plus.

 

Cheers for now.

 

Peter

Peter,

 

Good to see that you enjoy the Drifter.

 

I`ve had an Austflight Drifter since the mid eighties,used it for instructing for 12 years and I still consider it a magic carpet ride.

 

I don`t know what a CGS Hawk looks like.

 

Cheers,

 

Frank.
