As a teacher myself, I have to agree with Tomo. You need to feel comfortable with your instructor, and develop a rapport. Lots of folk know a lot, but can't teach it:nerd:

Superb video!

Good one:)

Well done mate - wish I had your patience and skill!!

Flew a few circuits in a strong crosswind a few weeks ago in the Jab120. Check out my video. Good luck with the radio exam:) ps I'm at about 21 hours, soloing this weekend hopefully! John.

Jim, what are you buying? What's the cost etc?

Try a hypnotherapist lol. you never know...

Brilliant:)

Welcome Just H, How's Townsville these days - spent 10 years there (ex RAAF). Cheers John.

That was awesome! Especially at 0.55!!

Forget the thigh buster or liposuction... :)

lol All we need now is a fine day! Aren't too many of those in Tassie in July/August! The kids are REALLY keen though:big_grin:

Welcome Steve How's Townsville treating you? I am ex RAAF and spent 10 years in the 'ville at Kirwan. Back in Tassie now in the cold :)

There is an added surprise though - the kids have to fill out a 20 question worksheet during the excursion, and then they are entered into a draw for a free TIF (which I am paying for).

I encourage my grade 6 students by teaching an aviation unit to them each year. We make model planes, test them etc. and learn about the history of powered flight. This year I am taking them to Georgetown for a flight in the Jabs! The girls are just as interested as the boys which is good. I keep telling the girls that they would make great pilots, as they are fast learners!

Oh Gooooooooooooooooddddd hilarious!

Excellent article Tomo and very informative for those of us thinking of dabbling in GA :) ps well done soloing so soon!

Welcome Lloyd I am learning over at Georgetown with Eugene Reid flying the Jabs. Only have about 20 hours - nearly solo! Would love to drive up to Smithton one weekend and say hello. Cheers John. ps I have posted a couple of videos on this site of circuits at Georgetown.
