I'm learning at Coominya, about 30 minutes from ipswich, John does a great job he's got lots of time to help you through the hard bits. Pete

Well I finaly did it, I had a go in a tailwheel. It was very interesting if not a little scary at first, the Lightwing has a 80 Hp engine so it was a little sluggish off the mark but seemed to lift off faster than the 100 Hp nosewheel i normaly fly. taxiing was'nt to much trouble, we ended up doing touch & goes with general airwork to get used to the aircraft. All up I had heaps of fun & will continue to get the hang of it, although I would like it to have a bit more power. Pete

Ultralight crash into lake Jindabyne

This is a very sad thing to happen. As a new pilot it puts the wind up me to hear that this can happen to someone who had much more time in the seat than myself, I will be concerntrating much harder next time I fly. My thoughts are with the family. Pete -

It's the best feeling when you finaly go solo, I think you fly a bit better when there is no one to help, at least I feel that I fly better, good on you it gets a lot better (solos, passengers, navs) Pete

Hi Maj, We must'nt have missed you by much, we arived at about 11.00. It was a very good event Saturday night was great, lies & tall stories all round, the band was entertaining, food was good, the fires were most welcome. I got to meet up with heaps of people I don't know if they were of the site or not. The flight back was interesting dodging the showers, by halfway back to Gympie the showers had cleared. Good fun all round. Pete ps. I wil post some photos later
