Welcome to the Warnervale crew, NF. You can be sure that Paul won't let you get away with excuses. It might feel like all thumbs right now, but you'll get used to it, and the advantage of being a lefty is that when you get to X-country, you can write and fly at the same time. :thumb_up:

Maybe we will cross paths at Warnervale. I try and fly mid week, but sometimes work stuffs me up and I have to do a Sat.

Gidday New Flyer,Welcome to our forum, great to have another local with us. We just gotta keep up the Central Coast numbers.

I to am a Warnervale boy, BTW did you know the Central Coast Aero Club will be applying for affiliate membership with the RAA shortly. The number of RAA pilots is increasing rapidly at Warnervale.

 

Also you are forgiven for getting the number wrong buddy, but Paul's Jabiru is a 160, not a 170.

 

All the best and hope to catch up with you one day soon.

Yep I always struggle with 6s and 7s. They look so alike. I have a suspicion you were having a talk with Paul a few Saturday's ago when I was finishing my lesson. I normally do my lesson's during the week but sometimes work gets in the way.

See you at Warnervale one day.

The owner did the changeover, I understand he went through a lot of paperwork to have it approved. I believe he is happy with the outcome.

Thanks for the response. I don't have anything to compare the J170 to as yet, which in itself is something I would like to correct once I become licenced. Comments I do have so far. I am left handed and would like to blame my bad days on having to learn to use my lesser hand to do the tricky stuff, but I'm sure my instructor would, with good reason, call that an excuse. Having said that, I think rudder control, is the thing I am struggling to master. But it is all improving. The AC is fitted with a Rotax engine and that, according to my instructor, makes life a little easier from my point of view, for example, less issues with carb icing.

Next time I am flying I will ponder the question.

Hello,

I'm up to about 17hrs at Warnervale on a J170. I'm not a natural, but enjoying the challenge. Still no idea if I should hire, buy or build. but plenty of time to decide. Thanks to those who maintain and contribute to this Forum. It has been a good resource.
