I did mine in around 28 hours including passenger endorsment. This was in the Jabiru LSA 55 with frequent training and reasonable weather at Bundaberg. I am still working on my nav. endorsement.

Yeah I would consider 500 metres as the minimum for any Jab. The J230 and LSA 55 can get off much shorter but the safety margin diminishes.

Hi Guys,

I am off a property in Central Queensland and was curious about the Skyranger's manouverability and slow speed handling. As well as cruising, a fair bit of flying would be done at 50-60 KIAS @ around 500' to 1000' AGL, checking cattle etc. I learnt in a Jab, would its handling characteristics be much different? Any help is much appreciated. Skyranger seems to be the best for the price. Cheers.
