    hey.. don't worry about the fuel. I took my dad up and can only carry 2 hrs of fuel with the 2 of us so it worked out good anyways. so who snapped the trim cable? were you doing aerobatics again?

    what r you flying on saturday? I'm flying the echo @ 8 on saturday morning. That would be great to get a head start on the navs. I'm going to start it after the holidays actually and should get me passenger endorsement in a couple of weeks hopefully.

    hi, I use the "triple head to go" and its brilliant. If you can, I would use this option as it can be used on any system, like when upgrading etc. Where as using 2 g.cards would mean you would have to upgrade both cards when upgrading your system. I love using it with head tracking software / hardware as well. It gives a whole new dimension.

    I just did my first solo cct on saturday 22, and still buzzing. Can't wait to get up again. I'm flying with Airsport Qld at Boonah, Qld. I had done about 5 ccts / T&O then was told to land (a bit early in the session) I was told to pull over halfway down the strip and as I stopped, Dave (my instructor) told me " its now your turn to go by yourself. I couldn't believe it, and didn't until I taxied back to the end of 22 and had done my pre t/o checks. From then on was a buz and an unbelievable feeling. It was awsome and I can't wait to do it again. I was suprised as I had only done aprox 9.5 hrs total. It was and still is the best feeling !!! :big_grin:

    Well.. it was my first lesson and it was great.. We actually got through half of the second lesson as I picked up everything pretty quickly (probably all those years of practice on flight sim-LOL). I'm doing the lessons on a weekly basis but it seems like forever away.. can't wait till saturday to get back in the air !

    Hi, My name is Elias. I live at Eagleby Qld (about halfway between the Gold Coast and Brisbane). I'm a mad Flight sim Fan (addict - hehehe) and have been since i was 12 yrs old (now 29). I have just received the opportunity start my RA licence and still deciding where to do it. I'm going for a fly with a mate on monday out at Boonah, but there is also Heckfield (Jacobs well) which is a lot closer to where I live. Just wondering if anyone else has been flying around these 2 strips, or knows of any others in my local area. I've been to the RA website and these 2 seem to be the closest. Also, what is the average cost (per hour) for lessons. I've been quoted $180 per hour. Does this sound about right? Thanks in advance and look forward to chatting with you all.. Elias
